| Abstract: | We report the first year outcome of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for
myopia at the Tokushukai Matsubara Hospital.
Twenty-eight eyes of 15 patients underwent myopic LASIK between March 2001 and
March 2002. The average age of the patients was 32 (range 24 to 61) years. The mean
follow-up period was 4.3 months. The average preoperative spherical equivalent of
refraction was -4.30 (range -1.50 to -8.50) D. The surgery was performed using NIDEK
MK-2000 microkeratome and VISX STAR S2 Excimer laser.
The average postoperative spherical equivalent of refraction was -0.06 (range -1.13 to
+1.50) D. 79% of eyes (n=22) were within ±1.0 D of emmetropia. 100% of eyes were
within ±1.5 D of emmetropia. The postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was ≧20/20
in 57% (n=16), ≧14/20 in 75% (n=21), and ≧20/40 in 86% (n=24)of eyes.
In the early postoperative period there was a case of epithelial ingrowth, in which
the vision temporarily decreased by two lines. By surgically removing the mass of the
ingrowth, the visual acuity was recovered.
These results indicate that our first-year experience of myopic LASIK was
equivalent to other previously reported results. |
