Abstract

We report a case of patient dissatisfaction after sequential myopic and hyperopic LASIK in the same eye. We discuss the course of management for this patient involving eventual cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with attention to the IOL power calculation method used.

Keywords: Formula; Intraocular lens power calculation; Patient dissatisfaction; Post-hyperopic LASIK intraocular lens calculation.
