Long-term follow-up of hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis correction using the Star S2 excimer laser

Abstract

Hyperopic LASIK using the Star S2 excimer laser was safe, effective, and predictable for hyperopia up to +4.10 D (mean of high group). A mild regression of the refractive effect was seen over the 5-year follow-up.

Femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis versus conductive keratoplasty to obtain monovision in patients with emmetropic presbyopia

“…Two main factors were responsible for a high level of retreatment in the CK group; that is, a significant regression in SE and a high incidence of SIA. Ehrlich and Manche 21 recently reported that CK led to significant regression of refractive power, whereas Desai et al 22 found significantly less regression after hyperopic LASIK. These outcomes are in line with our findings.…”

Refractive lens exchange with spherical diffractive intraocular lens implantation after hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis

“…However, the efficacy, safety, and predictability of PRK and LASIK decrease as hyperopia increases. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Two of the most common complications after hyperopic corneal refractive surgery are undercorrection and regression, and they occur mainly in eyes with high hyperopia. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In patients without presbyopia, retreatment for residual refractive errors after LASIK can be a good option 6,11 ; however, the need for reading glasses by presbyopic patients is a drawback, and these patients often desire a solution that provides both distance and near vision.…”

Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy for bilateral hyperopia and hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia in children

“…Based on the results in this study and our experience with PRK and LASEK [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]41 in patients with anisometropic amblyopia, we believe that the elimination of anisometropia provides major visual and functional improvement in amblyopia in children, with or without coexisting ocular and medical disorders. It is important that traditional treatment had failed in all patients with hyperopic anisometropia in our study.…”

“…In addition, some studies of adults having laser treatment for hyperopia 19,52 report irregular astigmatism postoperatively, which can result in unacceptable vision. Nevertheless, many studies 16,18,48,50,51 report achievement of the targeted refraction and longterm stability (usually after LASIK), especially in cases of moderate hyperopia (% C 5.00 D). Autrata and Rehurek 9 treated hyperopia with LASEK and report good visual and refractive results.…”
