Conductive keratoplasty (CK) is a safe and non-ablative procedure suitable for the treatment of low hyperopia and presbyopia. Due to the high rate of regression, it is not a commonly used technique. There is minimal literature about the use of refractive procedures for the treatment of hyperopic regression after CK. We report a case of a 49-year-old man who had undergone bilateral CK 15 years before for the correction of his hyperopia. He experienced a regression, with sph +2.75\u2009cyl \u22120.50(20) in the right eye and sph +2.50\u2009cyl \u22120.75(170) in the left eye. Transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) was performed with Schwind Amaris 750\u2009s. After 12 months, his best-corrected visual acuity was 20\/20, with \u22120.25 sph in both eyes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of tPRK performed after CK.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2020-241144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]],"date-time":"2021-04-28T13:27:56Z","timestamp":1619616476000},"page":"e241144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Transepithelial
