“…In the present study, females showed a significant higher difference regarding to doing LASIK for improving their general look and their levels of satisfaction. In agreement, the satisfaction of 13,65% patients after surgery showed that females were higher in seeking for LASIK treatment than men to get rid of glasses (24) . Also, our study showed that medical professions showed a lower levels of satisfaction about quality of vision than educational professions and this could be attributed to the reason that medical professions have sufficient knowledge about the impact of LASIK and their clinical outcomes and could observe even fine changes in their vision quality.…”

Background: Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has being used as the most effective and common refractive surgical procedure of choice for correction and elimination of myopic errors. The use of refractive surgeries has aided subjects to get rid of contact lenses either soft or rigid as well as eye glasses. Objective: Evaluate the level of satisfaction and the impact on the quality of life in myopic patients after a LASIK operation. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and community based survey study in which 111 participants were enrolled. All patients underwent a data collection and Satisfaction assessment including a 29 Likert model statements. Results: High levels of satisfaction (81.9%) and quality of life (76.5%) were found among myopic patients. Most of patients did LASIK to get rid of their glasses and to have good visual results regarding to reading, driving, swimming at day light or at night. The majority of subjects revealed that the surgery achieved their goal, and 83.8% would praise LASIK for friends. Females showed a significant higher motive for performing LASIK to improve their general look. The medical professions showed lower levels of satisfaction toward quality of vision than educational professions. Conclusion: A high level of satisfaction, quality of life and vision satisfaction was found in the present study after LASIK among myopic patients in Aljouf city.

“…Bühren et al 36 showed that there is a high correlation between patientperceived overall quality of vision and the experience of symptoms such as glare, halos, and starbursts but not wavefront data or contrast sensitivity measures. Because patient satisfaction is very high in general after refractive surgery, with satisfaction rates for LASIK reported between 95% and 100%, 27,37,38 it may be difficult to distinguish subtle differences between treatment profiles.…”

IMPORTANCE Wavefront-guided (WFG) and wavefront-optimized (WFO) platforms for refractive surgery are designed for improved visual outcomes. It is unclear which treatment profile is superior for patients undergoing photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). OBJECTIVE To compare the safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, and higher-order aberrations in eyes undergoing WFG and WFO PRK. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A prospective, randomized, fellow-eye-controlled clinical trial was conducted at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford with enrollment between April 2009 and March 2011; 1 year of follow-up was included. Of 90 patients screened, 71 patients (142 eyes) with less than 12.00 diopters (D) of spherical myopia and less than 3.00 D of astigmatism were enrolled consecutively. INTERVENTIONS One eye was randomized to undergo WFG PRK treatment (Visx CustomVue Star S4 IR excimer laser system; Abbott Medical Optics), and the fellow eye received WFO PRK treatment (WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q 400 Hz excimer laser system; Alcon Surgical). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Data on the manifest refraction, uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, 5% and 25% contrast best-corrected visual acuity, and higher-order aberrations were collected preoperatively and at the 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up visits. RESULTS Eyes undergoing both treatments had improved best-corrected visual acuity

“…In a study by Brown et al ., responses from 13,655 consecutive patients who completed their 1-month postoperative examination were analyzed. 11 They 11 observed a very high level of satisfaction both for the quality of postoperative care provided (98.6%) and for the visual results obtained (95.0%). Most patients (94.2%) indicated that the surgery improved their life, and most would recommend both laser vision correction (96.5%) and the corporate provider (97.5%) to friends and family.…”

Purpose:The purpose was to evaluate subjective quality of vision and patient satisfaction after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia and myopic astigmatism.Patients and Methods:A self-administered patient questionnaire consisting 29 items was prospectively administered to LASIK patients at the Yemen Magrabi Hospital. Seven scales covering specific aspects of the quality of vision were formulated including; global satisfaction; quality of uncorrected and corrected vision; quality of night vision; glare; daytime driving and; night driving. Main outcome measures were responses to individual questions and scale scores and correlations with clinical parameters. The scoring scale ranged from 1 (dissatisfied) to 3 (very satisfied) and was stratified in the following manner: 1-1.65 = dissatisfied; 1.66-2.33 = satisfied and; 2.33-3 = very satisfied. Data at 6 months postoperatively are reported.Results:This study sample was comprised of 200 patients (122 females: 78 males) ranging in age from 18 to 46 years old. The preoperative myopic sphere was − 3.50 ± 1.70 D and myopic astigmatism was 0.90 ± 0.82 D. There were 96% of eyes within ± 1.00 D of the targeted correction. Postoperatively, the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 99% of eyes. The mean score for the overall satisfaction was 2.64 ± 0.8. A total of 98.5% of patients was satisfied or very satisfied with their surgery, 98.5% considered their main goal for surgery was achieved. Satisfaction with uncorrected vision was 2.5 ± 0.50. The main score for glare was 1.98 ± 0.7 at night. Night driving was rated more difficult preoperatively by 6.2%, whereas 79% had less difficulty driving at night.Conclusion:Patient satisfaction with uncorrected vision after LASIK for myopia and myopic astigmatism appears to be excellent and is related to the residual refractive error postoperatively.
