Setting\/Venue: Aurelios Augenlaserzentrum, Recklinghausen. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the data of 552 consecutive eyes treated with refractive lens exchange between 2016 and 2019. A total of 47 eyes (8.5%) required a touch up after the clear lens exchange. From 43 eyes of 43 patients, we obtained a minimum follow up of 3 months. In all cases, we performed a TransPRK with a minimum optical zone of 7.2 mm, centering the ablation on the vertex of the cornea. Results: The average age of the treated eyes was 57 years old, with a range between 48 and 68 years. The mean treated sphere was 0.42 diopters (D), with a range between \u22121.0 and +1.75 D. The mean astigmatism was 1.06 D. Postoperatively, after laser vision correction, we reduced the sphere to a mean of 0.11 D (range \u22120.5 to +0.75 D), and, postoperatively, the mean astigmatism was 0.25 D (range \u22120.75 to 0 D). The predictability for a spheric equivalent (SEQ) of 0.5 D was 91%, and for 1 D it was 100% of the cases. No eye lost more than one Snellen line. Conclusions: TransPRK with smart pulse was predictable for correcting ametropia after Clear Lens Surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vision5010008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,3]],"date-time":"2021-02-03T20:31:51Z","timestamp":1612384311000},"page":"8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratektomy after a Clear Lens Exchange"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9977-5460","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"de Ortueta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AURELIOS, Augenlaserzentrum Recklinghausen, Erlbruch 34-36, 45657 Recklinghausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"529","DOI":"10.1586\/17469899.2014.966817","article-title":"Corrective techniques and future directions for treatment of residual refractive error following cataract surgery","volume":"9","author":"Moshirfar","year":"2014","journal-title":"Expert Rev.
