AB  - Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was the first surface ablation procedure 
      introduced for the treatment of refractive errors and has been proven to be 
      effective and safe. In some cases, however, the patient may not be totally 
      satisfied with the final result and retreatment may be necessary. We performed a 
      literature review to describe the main conditions that may arise following PRK 
      that may require retreatment and new promising techniques to allow customized and 
      effective treatments for patients. There is currently no gold standard for 
      retreatment of residual refractive error after PRK. The surgeon must take into 
      account the patient's history and type of problem when choosing the most 
      appropriate technique. LASIK and PRK are the main options. Haze can be treated 
      with good results with phototherapeutic keratectomy and mytomicin C. High order 
      aberrations and decentration may be addressed with topographically-guided excimer 
      photoablation or with wavefront-guided PRK.
