“…A metanalysis establishing a gold standard treatment for retreatment (also known as enhancement) has not been performed yet. In 2014 Parikh et al published a review of the various steps and methods in managing residual refractive error after LASIK and PRK 42. The authors highlighted the importance of approaching systematically the management of residual refractive error after LASIK and PRK in order to decide which technique can result the most efficacious for the patient.…”

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was the first surface ablation procedure introduced for the treatment of refractive errors and has been proven to be effective and safe. In some cases, however, the patient may not be totally satisfied with the final result and retreatment may be necessary. We performed a literature review to describe the main conditions that may arise following PRK that may require retreatment and new promising techniques to allow customized and effective treatments for patients. There is currently no gold standard for retreatment of residual refractive error after PRK. The surgeon must take into account the patient’s history and type of problem when choosing the most appropriate technique. LASIK and PRK are the main options. Haze can be treated with good results with phototherapeutic keratectomy and mytomicin C. High order aberrations and decentration may be addressed with topographically-guided excimer photoablation or with wavefront-guided PRK.
