A complication of PRK where the expected amount of correction is less than desired. See glossary entry "regression". Undercorrection occurs in the occasional person where healing occurs more vigorously than predicted by the laser computer program. Undercorrection can also occur in the uncommon event that the laser is improperly calibrated.
is a complication of refractive surgery where the expected amount of correction is less than desired and often occurs where healing regresses more vigorously than predicted.
The result achieved when desired change in refractive error is not fully achieved.
A complication of PRK or LASIK where the expected amount of correction is less than desired. Undercorrection occurs in the occasional person where healing occurs more vigorously than predicted by the laser computer program. The undercorrection is treated by further laser treatment or an enhancement at 3 months.
