Abstract
High satisfaction after refractive surgery fundamentally depends on the long-term refractive stability. Several factors have an influence on postoperative refractive results, i.e. long-term stability of preoperative refraction, preoperative difference between subjective and objective refractive measurements. Individual tissue characteristics might have an influence on postoperative results as well. However, there are no options up to now to evaluate tissue parameters preoperatively.
