Abstract:

In recent years, with the booming development of science and technology, the time of no keratome leading by the femtosecond laser has come. A large number of clinical trials have proved the corneal refractive surgery can increase the naked eye vision, improve the patient's quality of vision. It is precise, safe and effective. However, any complications that occur during or after surgery should receive high attention, especially postoperative corneal infections. This article combined with the recent analysis of corneal infections to explain the need to further strengthen the standardization of the operation, strengthen the monitoring mechanism of medical quality, and further improve the safety of surgery to effectively avoid and prevent related complications.

Key words: corneal refractive surgery, femtosecond laser, infection, safety
