Repeat laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) eye surgery is effective for correcting residual astigmatism. Re-lifts are safe and improve unaided visual acuity, with a minimum stromal thickness of 280 microns.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Corneal Surgery

Context:

  • Repeat refractive surgery, particularly LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), has seen increased frequency.
  • The indications for repeat LASIK procedures may be evolving.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively investigate indications and outcomes of repeat refractive surgery.
  • To evaluate the visual and refractive success rates of reoperations after primary LASIK.

Summary:

  • A study of 76 reoperations after LASIK found residual astigmatism was the most common indication.
  • Re-lifts (69 cases) were effective, improving unaided visual acuity from 0.64 to 1.05 without significant complications.
  • Keratoplasties and new lamellae cuts were performed in 6 cases.

Impact:

  • Repeat LASIK, specifically re-lifts, demonstrates effectiveness and safety when a residual stromal thickness of 280 microns is maintained.
  • These findings support re-lifting as a viable option for enhancing outcomes after primary LASIK procedures.
