Purpose: To report the incidence of postoperative ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: A retrospective case review of 30,167 eyes (16,732 patients) was conducted following LASIK between August 2007 and August 2015. The follow-up was between 2 and 8 years. Tomography was performed after 2 years postop. After identifying cases of ectasia, the charts of these patients were examined to identify any common factors that may have predisposed them to develop ectasia. Results: Ten eyes of seven patients developed post-LASIK ectasia. Eight eyes had been treated for myopia and myopic astigmatism, two eyes for mixed astigmatism. There were no cases of ectasia after LASIK for hyperopia. All 10 cases of ectasia had a flap that was created using the Moria M2 mechanical microkeratome (average flap thickness 118.15 +/- 12.88 mu m) and refractive error corrected using the Wavelight Allegretto excimer laser. Retrospectively, most prevalent risk factors were thin cornea ( 3 (40% of cases), percent tissue thickness alteration >= 40% (20% of cases) and low residual stromal bed (
