Abstract EN
A forty-six-year-old Bahraini male patient presented with diminished vision in both eyes; he had a history of standard LASIK surgery 16 years ago to treat myopia and astigmatism.
The pre-operative refraction was -5.50 D sphere, -2.00 D cylinder × 180○ in the right eye and -5.00 D sphere, -2.00 D cylinder × 160○ in the left eye.
The original LASIK flap was re-lifted successfully after 16 years of primary LASIK surgery.
Therefore, this will save the cornea from further incision.
Enhancement laser treatment was performed for residual myopia and astigmatism after lifting a 16-year-old LASIK flap at King Hamad University Hospital, Bahrain.
