Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia shows patient satisfaction but requires retreatment in many cases due to complications like decentration and undercorrection. Software improvements and patient education are recommended for this refractive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Hyperopia correction is a significant area in ophthalmic surgery.
  • Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a widely used refractive procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of LASIK for correcting hyperopia.
  • Assess outcomes and complications associated with LASIK in hyperopic patients.

Main Methods:

  • LASIK was performed on 21 eyes using the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser.
  • The Chiron Automated Corneal Shaper was utilized for flap creation.
  • Retreatment was necessary for seven eyes due to decentration or undercorrection.

Main Results:

  • High patient satisfaction was reported.

  • Complications included decentration (3 eyes) and undercorrection (4 eyes).
  • One patient experienced regression and another progressed to low myopia with visual acuity loss.

    • Conclusions:

    • LASIK offers advantages over other refractive surgery techniques for hyperopia.
    • A high retreatment rate and specific complications necessitate further investigation.
    • Software refinement and comprehensive patient counseling are crucial for optimal outcomes.
