title: Postoperative LASIK visual aberrations and treatment with InterWave-guided multipass, multistage correction.
abstract: Visual aberrations such as glare and halo have been well documented after laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK). These are more likely in patients with higher refractive errors and large pupil diameters. We present a patient with good Snellen acuity but functional impairment by visual aberrations after LASIK. These symptoms resolved after an InterWave-guided LASIK multipass, multistage enhancement treatment to correct spherical aberrations.
