Trans-epithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy for repair of refractive surgery complications

Transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is performed in three cases with irregular astigmatism from previous truncated flap creation with ablation where transepithelial PTK based on Artemis very high-frequency digital ultrasound epithelial thickness measurements were found to be superior to topography-guided ablation simulations.

Fascinating. How did the patient do in terms of symptoms?

Whilst fascinating from a scientific point of view, I guess viewers would like to know most, whether the patient still complained about symptoms after this treatment. Given the patient underwent treatments before with no improvement, if the PTK didn't alleviate the problem either, that would be rather disappointing

Seems that this could fix millions of issues. It's been years, what happened?

[@pierremichael2965]

What outcomes the patient came with? The refractive errors , best corrected and HOAs?!

[@berschte]

I have scarring in the relex smile interface which affects my vision. Would a ptk be able to help regain a clearer vision?
