To determine and analyze the reasons for patients not undergoing laser corneal refractive surgery. A retrospective observational study was conducted to analyze the reasons for not undergoing laser corneal refractive surgery in 611 patients. In this study, 611 (14.34%) among 4,262 enrolled patients did not undergo laser corneal refractive surgery. Among these 611 patients, the common reasons for not undergoing laser corneal refractive surgery were concern about the surgery (366 patients, 59.90%), insufficient corneal thickness (72 patients, 11.78%), too high corneal refractive power (36 patients, 5.89%), dry eye (33 patients, 5.40%), high intraocular pressure (22 patients, 3.60%), poor corrected visual acuity (25 patients, 4.09%), retinal diseases (23 patients, 3.76%) and others (34 patients, 5.56%). The concern about surgery is the primary factor for the patients not undergoing laser corneal refractive surgery.
