Frequency patients with hyperopia in refractive surgery department in ophthalmic surgery clinic

Abstract

Purpose. Determination of proportion patients with hyperopia in refractive surgery department of ophthalmic surgery clinic, analysis of degree of their hyperopia, morphometric parameters of anterior segment of the eye. Material and methods. The proportion of patients with hyperopia who were operated in the refractive surgery department of the Khabarovsk branch of the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution in 2019 were assess. On limited sample of these patients, a quantitative assessment of degree of hyperopia was carried out, and morphometric parameters of the anterior segment of the eyes were studied. Results. In 2019, 141 patients with hyperopia were operated (282 operations), which amounted to 11.3% of the total number of patients in the department. The majority of patients had a moderate degree of hyperopia (55.3%). In 47.5% of eyes, hyperopia was combined with astigmatism up to 4 diopters. Conclusion. Femto LASIK technology made it possible to achieve maximum uncorrected visual acuity in 52% of patients with hyperopia in the study group. Modern capabilities of refractive surgery are capable of providing high functional results in patients with varying degrees of hyperopia.
