Abstract
To present visual and refractive outcomes in 11 eyes that underwent femtosecond LASIK and subsequent retreatment with flap lifting using only side cutting.
Seven patients (11 eyes) with a mean age of 30.55±5.42 years (range: 24 to 39 years) underwent retreatment 18.18±5.41 months (range: 12 to 26 months) after primary LASIK treatment with side cutting only using a femtosecond laser for the correction of residual refractive error.
Mean follow-up after retreatment was 7.72±1.48 months (range: 6 to 10 months). No intra- or postoperative complications were found after LASIK retreatment. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) improved in all patients. Mean UDVA improved from 0.54±0.12 (decimal scale) (range: 0.4 to 0.7) preoperatively to 0.99±0.03 (range: 0.9 to 1.0) after retreatment. No patient lost lines of corrected distance visual acuity.
Retreatment using a femtosecond laser to create only a side cut is an effective modality to treat residual refractive errors in postoperative LASIK patients.
