Abstract Details

Purpose:

Development and evaluation of optimizing the ocular surface after two-step LASIK, based on compliance.

Setting:

Russian Federation

Methods:

Assessed the ocular surface, tear film and tear production before and after optimization in patients after two-step LASIK in 4 groups. Group 1 (A) - high myopia and low degree of astigmatism - (43), aged 18 to 35 years, group 2 (B) - medium myopia and low degree of astigmatism – (32), aged 18 to 35 years, group 3 (C) - myopia medium or high and medium degree of astigmatism – (37), older than 35 years, group 4 (D) - hypermetropia medium or high and medium degree of astigmatism - (32), older than 35 years. The criteria for preoperative drug correction of refractive surgery to the stage were the following diagnostic blocks: clinical data in diagnosis of dry eye and corneal status, corneal thickness, the definition of clinical refraction, including patient age, antioxidant and immune activity of tears, determine of compliance.

Results:

Pathogenetically substantiated the two preparations after two-step LASIK - moxifloxacin 0.5% and hydroxyproylguar and sorbitol in group A, and moxifloxacin 0.5% and hydroxyproylguar in group B provide medium compliance. Using only hydroxyproylguar and sorbitol in Group C and hydroxyproylguar in Group D demonstrated a high compliance.

Conclusions:

First pathogenetically substantiated the choice of therapy based ?ompliance in patients after two-step LASIK. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
