Lasik monovision correction for Presbyopia [abstract]

ABSTRACT

Selection of patients, identification of the dominant eye and several other issues are analyzed. The results in 167 patients are presented. The best results were obtained in previous hyperopic patients in whom, of the 100 percent of patients with previous vision worse than 20/40 and J4, 90 percent were better than 20/25 and J2. In hyperopia, an overcorrection of the nondominant eye was induced while in myopia an undercorrection of the nondominant was the target. In this group 93 percent of the patients had vision worse than 20/100, J1 and 86 percent obtained better vision of 20/25 preserving J1. Examples of the different procedures are presented and at the end recommendations to get good results given. (AU)
