Abstract:Purpose: To evaluate laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for induced hyperopia after radial keratotomy.Methods: Twenty eyes had LASIK for induced hyperopia after radial keratotomy. All eyes were treated using the Nidek excimer laser (EC-5000) and the Hansatome microkeratome with a 905mm ring and 180mm plate. Hyperopic correction was done using a 5.5 to 7.5mm ablation zone.Results: Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was +3.44 ± 1.25D (range, +0.88 to +6.00D). Postoperatively, all eyes achieved a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
