Summary

Hyperopic LASIK using Esiris/Schwind technology effectively corrects hyperopia up to +7.0 D. The procedure demonstrates safe and encouraging visual and refractive outcomes, even for higher degrees of hyperopia.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Hyperopic LASIK aims to correct farsightedness.
  • Evaluating refractive and visual outcomes is crucial for assessing surgical efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the refractive and visual outcomes of hyperopic LASIK using Esiris/Schwind technology.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this technology for hyperopia correction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational study of 106 eyes operated with Esiris/Schwind laser for hyperopia.
  • Eyes divided into two groups based on refractive error: <= +3.99 D and >= +4.0 D (up to +7.0 D).
  • Evaluated uncorrected and best spectacle-corrected visual acuities, refraction, keratometry, pachymetry, and complications.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • High percentages of eyes achieved emmetropia (within +/- 0.5 D) in both groups (90.2% and 85.5%).
  • Significant improvements in uncorrected visual acuity were observed postoperatively.
  • Safety and efficacy indices were favorable, with minimal loss of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperopic LASIK with Esiris/Schwind technology is effective and safe for correcting hyperopia up to +7.0 D.
  • Encouraging visual and refractive results were achieved, particularly in high hyperopia cases.
