LASIK for hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism, and mixed astigmatism

Outcomes of wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis for hyperopia

“…A loss of high-contrast CDVA has been reported after nonwavefront-guided LASIK for hyperopia [6][7][8] ; however, Kezirian et al 9 report refractive stability in 93.7% of eyes (119/127) between 6 months and 3 years or longer using wavefront-optimized LASIK for hyperopia. In our study, there was no statistically significant change in high-contrast CDVA over time, including no overall loss.…”

Screening of Forme Fruste Keratoconus with the Ocular Response Analyzer

“…2010;51: 2403-2410) DOI:10.1167/iovs.09-3689 S ince the development of corneal photoablation with the excimer laser in refractive surgery, many studies have reported the safety and the ability of this technique for the correction of ametropia, with good anatomic and visual results. [1][2][3][4][5] Corneal ectasia represents one of the rarest but also one of the most feared complications with an incidence of 0.2% to 0.66% in the literature. 6,7 Forme fruste keratoconus (FFKc) is the main cause of corneal ectasia.…”

Advances in technologies for laser-assistedin situkeratomileusis (LASIK) surgery

“…LASIK combines lamellar corneal surgical advantages with the accuracy of the EL [1,2]. Although the first objective of LASIK was to remove myopia or myopic astigmatism [3][4][5][6][7][8], the development of surgical instruments has provided the possibility of also correcting hyperopic errors and mixed astigmatism in the last 10 years [9][10].…”
