The outcome of rare complications in excimer laser keratomileusis with femtosecond accompaniment (femto-Lasik) is evaluated. Four cases of complications of femto-Lasik surgery are named. Possible causes of their occurrence and ways of their resolution are analyzed. All cases of these complications have been resolved with maximum visual effects. The operation of femto-LASIK is accompanied by a very low number of complications, which practically have no negative consequences in the end.

Key words: complications, excimer laser keratomileusis with femtosecond tracking, keratitis.
