Abstract:
We describe 2 cases in which a staged laser in situ keratomileusis procedure was used to treat residual hyperopia and astigmatism after laser thermal keratoplasty. The procedure successfully reduced the spherical equivalent refractive error and residual astigmatism. All eyes maintained their best spectacle-corrected visual acuity and had an uncorrected visual acuity of at least 20/25 at the end of follow-up.
