Abstract
In only a short time PRK and LASIK became the most common refractive techniques to correct most refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Despite the short evolution time excimer laser surgery nowadays is considered effective and relatively safe. Even though we are able to produce stable and satisfying results we are not yet at the point where we have perfect results. We have patients with good postoperative refractions and inconspicuous topography complaining about their visual quality and we did not really know what the problem is.
