TL;DR
A retrospective analysis of patients presenting at a German university following refractive surgery abroad following laser-in-situ keratitis is presented.
Abstract
There are four important problems arising from refractive surgery abroad, often referred to as "LASIK tourism": wrong indications, insufficient management of complications, lack of postoperative care and the health economic aspect.

Regression analysis determined that none of the preoperative or surgical variables known to affect refractive outcome of RK (alone or in combination) could account for the changes in refraction seen during the course of postoperative time, and changes in keratometry paralleled refractive changes, but were somewhat smaller in magnitude.

A single patient was refracted 1000 times at all hours of the day in the year after bilateral radial keratotomy, showing a myopic shift of several diopters from early morning to late evening.

Hyperopic PRK with a conservative technique (large optical zone and small ablation thickness) can be used successfully to correct RK‐induced hyperopia in patients with small to moderate refractive errors.

An up-to-date evaluation of the operative techniques for the correction of refraction errors is made and refractive surgery has been accepted into the catalogue of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians for individual health services to be financed.

In this overview, the current status of intraocular lens surgery to correct refractive error is reviewed and phakic IOLs has been demonstrated to be an effective, safe, predictable and stable procedure to correct higher refractive errors.

An up-to-date evaluation of the operative techniques for correction of refraction errors is made and revised guidelines for evaluation and safeguarding the quality of refractive surgical procedures are drawn up.

Diffuse lamellar keratitis usually occurs within the first few postoperative days and should be treated aggressively to avoid scarring, andInterface complications are a new diagnostic entity as the interface between flap and stroma presents a space where fluid or cells can accumulate.
