Purpose: To report hyperopic LASIK results after intracorneal hydrogel lens explantation in a bilateral hyperopic patient.
Methods: Slit-lamp examination showed diffuse corneal opacity around the lens edge and over the anterior lens surface affecting both eyes with uncorrected visual acuity of 0.4 in the right eye and 0.5 in the left eye.
Results: The intracorneal hydrogel lenses were explanted, and 6 months later hyperopic LASIK using the Schwind ESIRIS excimer laser (Schwind, Kleinostheim, Germany) was performed after lifting the same flap for the intracorneal hydrogel lens implantation. Six months after hyperopic LASIK, visual acuity recovered to the initial preoperative best spectacle-corrected levels: right eye 0.8 with +1.50 D sphere and left eye 0.9 with +1.00 -0.50 x 90 degrees. Central corneal transparency also fully recovered.
Conclusions: Hyperopic LASIK is a possible alternative after intracorneal hydrogel lens explantation in hyperopic eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate residual refractive errors after intraocular lens (IOL) extraction and the safety and effectiveness of refractive correction procedures.
Methods: The eligibility criteria for this systematic review were patients who had undergone cataract or clear lens extraction and had experienced residual refractive error. All study designs were considered for inclusion and non-English publications, non-peer reviewed articles, books, and systematic reviews were excluded.
Stability of refractive outcomes after hyperopic LASIK with and without Mitomycin C application: a randomized controlled trial.

To assess the efficacy, safety, and stability of refractive outcomes in hyperopic Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) with and without the application of Mitomycin C (MMC). This randomized, parallel group, controlled multicenter trial included 140 hyperopic eyes. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving LASIK with mitomycin C (MMC) (n = 70) and the other receiving LASIK without MMC (n = 70).

Corneal curvature (CC) is a crucial ocular optical system parameter, indicating the shape of the cornea expressed in radii. This study aims to investigate the relationship between CC, age, gender, refractive errors, and central corneal thickness (CCT) in Saudi Arabia, a field lacking in research. Data were gathered from Imam Medical Center in Riyadh and Dr.

Purpose: To assess the incidence and causes for re-treatment following monovision laser refractive surgery in a large data study spanning a decade.
Methods: The setting for this retrospective comparative study was Care Vision Laser Center, Tel Aviv, Israel. This study included patients aged 36 to 60 years who underwent monovision laser vision correction at the Care Vision Laser Centers, Israel, from January 2012 to December 2022.
Long-term results of allogenic corneal lenticule of hyperopic SMILE for post-LASIK ectasia.
iScience

Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Post-laser-assisted keratomileusis (LASIK) corneal ectasia is a severe complication of corneal refractive surgery, and cryopreserved lenticules from hyperopic small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) may offer a promising treatment though their long-term safety and efficacy are still under investigation. In this prospective case series, six eyes from six patients with post-LASIK ectasia received lenticules (mean cryopreserved time: 63 days). The procedure involved lifting the corneal flap, implanting the lenticule, and repositioning the flap.
