Abstract EN
Purpose.
To describe a case of 3 refractive procedures performed in one eye over 2 decades.
Methods.
Case report.
Results.
A 41-year-old patient presented for refractive surgery evaluation.
His ocular history includes bilateral radial keratotomy performed 21 years ago for moderate myopia: spherical equivalence of −4.25 D bilaterally.
Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/30; however, over time he developed a hyperopic shift and UCVA decreased to 20/40 in the right eye.
Thus, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was performed at an outside institution 6.5 years later, and the patient had initial improvement of UCVA to 20/25.
Due to a change in refractive error, the patient underwent uneventful astigmatic keratotomy 13 years after LASIK in the right eye, and 1.5 years after surgery best-corrected visual acuity was 20/25 with manifest refraction of − 1.00 + 5.50 × 134 °.
Conclusion.
We report the outcomes and natural refractive progression in a patient who underwent three corneal refractive procedures over two decades.
This case underlines the difficulties of long-term management of post-RK hyperopia and astigmatism.
