What should be done if myopia surgery fails? This depends on the patient’s specific circumstances. If surgical failure leads to ocular infection, visual recovery will likely be severely compromised. In most cases, reoperation may be considered based on the patient’s individual condition. For instance, if the initial laser correction was inadequate or inaccurate, a second refractive surgery is typically performed to achieve proper vision correction.
