“…On comparison with LASIK, Alió et al reported that 73% of eyes were within ±1.0D and 92% of eyes were within ±2.0D 10 years after LASIK, and slight regression was seen over 10 years for myopia of up to −10 diopters [26]. Alió et al also reported that 42% of eyes were within ±1.0D and 61% of eyes were within ±2.0D 10 years after LASIK for myopia of over −10 diopters [27].…”

“…Although myopic regression occurs more frequently in the early postoperative period, slowing down with time, it stabilizes between 2 to 5 years after LASIK for moderate myopia. 28 Therefore, our results should be applied with caution.…”

Purpose To evaluate the impact of myopic keratorefractive surgery on ocular alignment. Methods This prospective study included 194 eyes of 97 myopic patients undergoing laser refractive surgery. All patients received a complete ophthalmic examination with particular attention to ocular alignment before and 3 months after surgery. Results Patients with a mean age of 26.6 years and a mean refractive error of À 4.83 diopters (D) myopia were treated. Asymptomatic ocular misalignment was present preoperatively in 46 (47%) patients: a small-angle heterophoria (1-8 prism diopters, PD) in 36%; and a large-angle heterophoria (48 PD)/heterotropia in 11%. Postoperatively, the change in angles of 10 PD or greater occurred in 3% for distance and 6% for near fixation: in 7% of the patients with orthophoria, in 3% of those with a small-angle heterophoria, and in 18% of those with a large-angle heterophoria/heterotropia. No patient developed diplopia. The preoperative magnitude of myopia or postoperative refractive status was not related to the change in ocular alignment. The higher anisometropia was associated with a decrease in deviation (P ¼ 0.041 for distance and P ¼ 0.002 for near fixation), whereas the further near point of convergence tended to be related with an increase in near deviation (P ¼ 0.055). Conclusions Myopic refractive surgery may cause a change in ocular alignment, especially in cases with a large-angle heterophoria/heterotropia. There is also a chance of improvement of misalignment in patients with anisometropia.
