Description An advantage of the LASIK method is the possibility of repeated surgery in čase of residual refractive error after the primary surgery. In the second surgery two techniques are ušed: the technique of the new incision (secondary LASIK) and the technique of corneal flap uncover. The authors evaluate the results of the residual refractive errors using both techniques of reoperaration. The primary LASIK surgery, as well as reoperation was in all cases performed by argon - fluoride laser, class IV (Keracor 117 Chiron Technolas). The authors evaluated the finál postoperative refractive error, reduction of its spherical and cylindrical component, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) the rate of complications during the surgery, and postoperatively as well. No statistically significant difference in the reduction of the residual refraction error after primary LASIK and complications rate between both mentioned techniques of reoperation were noticed. Both methods may be considered effective and safe.
