  2. Background Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a popular technique for correcting myopia, myopic astigmatism, and mild to moderate hypermetropia. Although the predictability is high, undercorrection and/or regression is inevitable in some eyes.1,2 Re-treatments may be necessary and useful to refine the results obtained after the first surgery. 2 • Perez-Santonja JJ, Bellot J, Claramonte P, Ismail MM, Alio JL.

  3. Purpose To assess the visual outcomes, refractive error, and safety of Wavefront-Optimized (WFO) LASIK retreatment after previous Wavefront- Customized (WFC) LASIK in myopic patients.

  4. Methods • A retrospective chart review of 18 eyes from 13 patients whom underwent WFO LASIK retreatment after previous WFC LASIK was performed. • All primary LASIK procedures were done using the Visx CustomVueTMlaser platform (Abbott Medical Optics, Illinois, USA). • All eyes underwent LASIK retreatments using the Wavelight AllegrettoTM Eye-Q 400 excimer laser platform (Alcon Inc., Hünenberg, Switzerland). • Ophthalmic examinations, including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractive error (RE), and complications were performed preoperativelyandpostoperatively at 1, 3, and 6 months. • Pre-retreatment total root mean square (RMS) from third to sixth order- Zernike polynomials was calculated.

  5. Results Pre-retreatment total high order aberrations (HOA).

  6. Results Table 1.

  7. Results Comparison between Pre-operativeandPost-operative values of RE.

  8. Results Table 2.

  9. Results Comparison between Pre-operative BSCVA and Post-operative UCVA at 6 months

  10. Results Pre-retreatmentspherical equivalent changed from -0.21 ± 1.4D (range from 1.63 to -3.0) to -0.29 ± 0.3 D (range from 0 to -1.0) at 6 months.

  11. Results • The pre-retreatment total HOA was 0.48±0.21 (0.24 to 1.01µm) and did not show correlation with the visual outcomes postoperatively. • At 6 months all eyes were within ±0.50D of target refraction. • The efficacy index (UCVA post-operative/BSCVA pre-operative) was 1.0 at 6 months. • The safety index (BSCVA post-operatively/BSCVA pre-operatively) was 1.08 at 6 months. • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported.

  12. Conclusion Our findings suggest that Wavefront-Optimized ablation retreatment after primary Wavefront-Customized LASIK is safe and predictable, with positive visual and refractive outcomes achieved at 6 months post-treatment. In addition, no correlation between the degree of pre-retreatment total RMS and visual outcomes postoperatively was detected.
