Abstract Details

Purpose:

Evaluation of binocular simultaneously hyperopic treatment for Presbyopia.

Setting:

Klaus Ditzen, M.D. Weinheim, 69469, Germany

Methods:

LASIK was done bilateral simultaneously with the Schwind Pendular Microkeratom in combination with the Carl-Zeiss-Meditec Eximerlaser MEL 80. There were treated 30 eyes: range from 41 - 54 years. The dominant eye was corrected to zero, the non-dominant eye to max. 1.5 D anisometropia. Control time one year.

Results:

The outcomes after binocular correction showed a good subjective acceptance and satisfaction. There were a good stability, safety and predictability. Postoperatively all patients needed no reading glasses. No nightvision and contrast-sensitivity problems were noted. Binocular Vision was reduced only in the first postop period.

Conclusions:

Binocular correction of hyperopic presbyopia combines the advantage of micro-monovision, increased depth of field in both eyes. The full corrected dominant eye and the intended undercorrected non-dominant eye showed satisfactory results with neural adaption and - suppression.
