Abstract
To evaluate efficacy and patient satisfaction of presbyopic hyperopes treated with centered PresbyLASIK (multifocality centered on near vision) by the SUPRACOR technique (Technolas Perfect Vision). This is a retrospective study carried out at Percy Army Teaching Hospital from September 2011 through September 2013. Fifty-nine eyes of 29 patients were included and underwent PresbyLASIK. Study parameters included uncorrected binocular distance (DVA) and near (NVA) visual acuity, aberrometry, central corneal curvature by corneal topography (bump), and patient satisfaction (questionnaire). Mean uncorrected binocular visual acuity was found to be 0.09 logmar for DVA and 0.22 for NVA on post-operative day one, 0.04 logmar for DVA and 0.17 for NVA at 1 month post-operatively, 0.15 logmar for DVA and 0.19 for NVA at 3 months post-operatively, and -0.02 logmar for DVA and 0.18 for NVA at 6 months post-operatively. Mean central corneal curvature was found to be 2.56±0.9 diopters. There were significantly more higher-order aberrations in the central 5mm post-operatively (P<0.01). Among the patients undergoing bilateral SUPRACOR LASIK, 79% were entirely satisfied with the surgery, and all patients would recommend the procedure to their family and friends. Eighty-six percent of these patients acheived total spectacle independence at distance and near. SUPRACOR PresbyLASIK is a method of choice in overcoming spectacle dependence in presbyopic hyperopes.
