Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare the results in uncorrected visual acuity after one year follow up of patients who underwent LASIK surgery or ICL implantation Possibility of amblyopia treatment

Setting:

Sistina Ophthalmology and Klinika Svjetlost

Methods:

We operated 60 eye with LASIK, 8 eyes amblyopic and 21 eyes with ICL implantation, 4 eyes amblyopic (in range of 0.1-0.8) Follow up: 1st month,3rd month, 6th month, 1st year INCLUSION CRITERIA Unchanged refraction for at least one year AC depth > 3,0 mm Endotelial cell count > 2200 cells/mm² Scotopic pupil <7.5mm Anterior chamber angle > grade II No intraocular disease (diabetes without retinopathy and well controled glaucoma are relative contraindications, any history of uveitis is absolute contraindication)

Results:

Both LASIK and ICL implantation showed significant improvement of UCVA compared with preoperative BCVA. We conclude significant improvement in UCBA at patients who underwent ICL implantation .

Conclusions:

ICL implantation showed more predictible and more stabile postoperative refraction in the follow up period of 1 year. ICL should be considerate in treatment of adult ambliopic patients with amblyopia ( full refractive correction and myopic defocusing)
