LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive surgery for correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Yet approximately 30% of operated patients have symptoms like glare, halos, dry eyes and especially residual hypermetrop refractive errors. Residual hypermetrop refractive errors are difficult to treat surgically, the current treatment is Refractive Lens Implantation - risks are similar to those of cataract surgery (endophthalmitis, loss of accommodation, etc.)
