Purpose: To evaluate the use of fibrinogen adhesive in LASIK for minimization of flap complications. Method: LASIK was performed in 312 patients (624 eyes). Both eyes were operated on the same day, one eye with the conventional technique and the other with adhesive application. Results: A significant decrease of flap complications was shown. Conclusion: The use of fibrinogen adhesive showed to be efficient in the decrease of flap complications. Comments: This technique seems to be useful in LASIK following radial keratotomy and astigmatism keratotomy, in gluing free cap, and in interface hemostasis.
