Laser vision correction for residual refractive errors in patients with previous radial keratotomy (RK) presents a challenging task. Different techniques have been used with varying outcomes. This study aimed to systematically review published manuscripts on refractive surgeries in post-RK patients search in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The final analysis included 35 studies that described a total of 888 eyes. Our systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) for photorefractive keratectomy, topography-guided-PRK, wavefront-guided-PRK, and femtosecond- laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), while mechanical microkeratome LASIK did not yield such significant improvements. Moreover, our results suggest that hyperopic post-RK patients had a significant improvement in UDVA, whereas no such improvement was observed in myopic patients.

“…If the opacity is only situated superficially, as in the initial stage of the disease and in recurrences, abrasion [14,15], superficial keratectomy without covering [12,16], phototherapeutic keratectomy [1,5,6,9] and lamellar keratoplasty [13] are recommended.…”

Perforating keratoplasty was performed in both eyes of two siblings (sister and brother) with typical granular corneal dystrophy. Three of the operated eyes showed a recurrence of the underlying disease. In one eye, a recurrence could not be detected 14 years after the operation. This eye had been fitted with a contact lens 16 months after keratoplasty because of aphakia. Thus a contact lens may have a therapeutic effect in this primary epithelial disease.
