Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using solid-state laser technology effectively corrects low to moderate hyperopia. This pilot study shows significant visual acuity improvements with minimal induction of higher-order aberrations and no severe complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Laser Technology

Background:

  • Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a refractive surgery procedure.
  • Correction of low to moderate hyperopia aims to improve uncorrected visual acuity.
  • Solid-state laser technology offers a potential advancement in refractive surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate visual, refractive, and aberrometric outcomes of LASIK for hyperopia correction.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of a specific solid-state laser system (Pulzar Z1).
  • To determine the impact of this laser technology on higher-order aberrations.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective pilot study involving six patients (11 eyes) with low to moderate hyperopia.
  • LASIK surgery performed using the Pulzar Z1 solid-state laser.

  • Postoperative evaluation of visual acuity, refractive error, and aberrations over a mean follow-up of 6.6 months.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity (LogMAR UDVA) (p = 0.01).
    • 90.9% of eyes achieved LogMAR UDVA of 0.1 (20/25) or better.
    • No significant increase in higher-order aberrations or loss of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA).
    • Mean efficacy and safety indices were 1.03 and 1.12, respectively.
    • Minimal, statistically significant negativization of primary spherical aberration observed (p = 0.02).

    Conclusions:

    • LASIK with solid-state laser technology is a viable option for correcting low to moderate hyperopia.
    • The procedure demonstrates good efficacy and safety profiles.
    • Minimal induction of higher-order aberrations suggests favorable optical quality preservation.
