The present invention is directed to a method for performing a reversible refractive procedure by reimplanting a refractive lenticule that has been obtained by a refractive procedure on the eye, the method comprising the steps of preparing the refractive lenticule for reimplantation, creating a corneal flap in an eye of an acceptor, transferring the refractive lenticule under the corneal flap, and repositioning and covering the acceptors corneal flap thereby reimplanting the refractive lenticule. The present invention is also directed to a refractive lenticule obtained by a refractive procedure on the eye of a donor for use in a method for subsequent reimplantation in a reversible refractive procedure on an acceptor, wherein the refractive lenticule is stored at a temperature below 0°C.
