Purpose:
To analyze efficacy and safety of presbyopia treatment using a new asymmetric SUPRACOR approach with Excimer laser. Dominant eye was treated with the standard Supracor algorithm, while the non dominant eye was treated with a new Supracor algorithm in which the near addition was increased by 30%. Refractive target was -0.25 diopters (D) in both eyes.
Setting:
Instituto de Oftalmologia Castanera, Barcelona, Spain
Methods:
Prospective study of 48 eyes of 24 patients with a mean age of 53.1 years (min 44 / max 63). Preoperative manifest refraction was +1.69±0.74D (spherical equivalent [SE]: +1.41±0.81D). Distance (DUCVA) and near (NUCVA) uncorrected visual acuity, refraction, best-spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), asphericity and comatic aberrations were analyzed. All eyes have completed 3 months follow-up exam.
Results:
Three months postoperatively, binocular uncorrected vision was -0.01±0.08 for distance, 0.06±0.13 for intermediate, and 0.13±0.13 for near vision. Binocularly uncorrected 0.2 logMAR or better was achieved by 100% of the patients for distance, 90.9% of the patients for intermediate and 86.3% of the patients for near. Mean SE postoperatively was -0.52±0.42D. 55% of eyes were within ±0.25D and 75% were within ±0.50 D of refractive target
Conclusions:
Asymmetric Supracor algorithm seems to be an affective and safe treatment for the correction of presbyopia in hyperopic eyes, giving good distance, intermediate and near uncorrected vision. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
