LASIK surgery can negatively impact binocular vision, especially when eye aberrations differ between eyes. Addressing these differences in ablation algorithms may improve visual outcomes after LASIK.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a common refractive surgery.
  • Understanding its impact on binocular visual function is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze binocular visual function following LASIK.
  • To investigate the relationship between interocular aberration differences and visual performance.

Main Methods:

  • Collected eye aberrometry and corneal topography data from 68 patients (136 eyes).
  • Measured monocular and binocular contrast sensitivity function and disturbance index (halos) under mesopic conditions.

Main Results:

  • Binocular summation and halo disturbance index significantly decreased post-LASIK (P<.0001).

  • Increased interocular differences in corneal and eye aberrations correlated with greater binocular visual deterioration.
  • Binocular contrast sensitivity and halo perception worsened more than monocular function.

    • Conclusions:

    • Binocular visual function is more affected than monocular function after LASIK.
    • The degree of binocular deterioration is linked to interocular differences in aberrations and corneal shape.
    • Optimizing ablation algorithms to reduce interocular differences is recommended to enhance LASIK outcomes.
