Purpose To measure quality of life (QoL) outcome of pre-presbyopic myopic subjects undergoing LASIK refractive surgery using the Quality of Life Impact of Refractive Correction (QIRC) questionnaire. Additionally, we compared the QoL of pre-surgery subjects to a sample of spectacle and contact lens wearers not considering refractive surgery. Setting Patients were recruited from two refractive su...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on higher-order aberrations in patients. 56 cases (112 eyes) undergoing refractive surgery in our hospital were selected in this study, all patients were randomly divided into femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis group (LASIK gr...

PURPOSE To analyze the effect of bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the accommodative convergence per unit of accommodation (AC/A) ratio in otherwise normal orthotropic myopic patients. SETTING Cornea and refractive services of a tertiary-care ophthalmic center. METHODS This prospective clinical trial consisted of 61 myopic patients who had bilateral LASIK. Those with manifes...

Materials and methods: Prospective analysis of 34 eyes of 17 patients over 40 years of age treated with Allegreto wavefront LASIK system. The study was conducted at MEDEA LASIK Centre, Little Flower hospital, Angamaly. Average patient age was 53.3 years. Pre operative refraction ranged from – 5.75 to + 2.25 diopters(D). Non dominant eyes underwent Presbyopic LASIKan aspheric pupil size dependan...

PURPOSE This study tests the hypothesis that the keratometric value derived from Orbscan II mean power maps, when used in an intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formula, at a specific measurement zone, will accurately determine the power of an IOL for planned cataract surgery in patients who have undergone prior myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS This is a two-part s...

PURPOSE To measure quality of life (QoL) outcome in prepresbyopic myopic patients having laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) refractive surgery using the Quality of Life Impact of Refractive Correction (QIRC) questionnaire and to compare the QoL of preoperative patients with a sample of spectacle and contact lens wearers not considering refractive surgery. SETTING Department of Optometry, Un...

To compare the refractive and visual outcomes and higher order aberrations in patients with low to moderate myopia who underwent customized photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (Femto-LASIK) this research performed. This study includes data of 120 consecutive eyes of 60 patients with myopia between -3.00 D and -7.00 D with or without astigmatism in two s...

Steep central island (SCI) formation after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) represents a major drawback in the visual rehabilitation of patients after refractive laser surgery. Because of the small size of SCIs, current ablation algorithms are unable to properly calculate an ablation pattern for customized retreatment. We present the use of a new ablati...

introduction: today, lasik surgery is one of the most common and effective procedures for correction of refractive errors. less than 1% of patients undergoing lasik operation suffer from serious and 3-5% suffers from mild complications. also, results of lasik in most centers are promising. with the recent inauguration of the lasik center of yazd, it was decided to evaluate the results and compl...

PURPOSE To investigate the changes in dry eye symptoms and clinical signs and corneal sensitivity after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond LASIK (femto-LASIK). DESIGN Prospective, non-randomized comparative study. METHODS The study included a total of 71 eyes of 71 patients; the SMILE group comprised 38 eyes of 38 patients, and the femto-LASIK group comprised 33 eye...
