Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Refractive Surgery

Background:

Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a prevalent corneal refractive surgery.
Customized LASIK techniques enhance outcomes and correct higher-order aberrations (HOAs).

Approach:

This review focuses on topography-guided LASIK, a custom LASIK approach.
It examines preoperative planning factors, advantages, and disadvantages compared to other keratorefractive surgeries.

Key Points:

Successful treatment-planning approaches exist for discrepancies between refractive and topographic astigmatism.
Debate continues regarding the optimal treatment method in current literature.

Conclusions:

Custom LASIK procedures, including topography-guided LASIK, yield excellent patient outcomes.
Topography-guided LASIK is particularly beneficial for correcting aberrations in complex corneas and healthy eyes by addressing the primary refractive surface.
