Summary

Refractive laser surgery, including myopia correction, is highly successful. Innovations like femtosecond laser lenticule extraction show promise, but challenges in reoperations and topography-guided treatments remain.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Laser Surgery

Context:

  • Refractive laser surgery has evolved into a common worldwide ophthalmology procedure.
  • Myopia correction success rates are nearing the limits of manifest refraction.

Purpose:

  • To review the current state and future directions of refractive laser surgery.
  • To highlight recent advancements and persistent challenges in the field.

Summary:

  • Femtosecond laser lenticule extraction (FLEx) shows promising early results but lacks comparative studies.
  • Topography-guided ablation often results in undercorrection due to the epithelium's leveling effect.
  • While evolution has slowed, significant innovations are anticipated.

Impact:

  • Advances in refractive surgery aim to improve outcomes and address reoperation challenges.
