A prospective study of the Artisan Lens (Ophtec) for the treatment of -10.00D to -20.00D of myopia was performed. Preoperative refraction, uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, and contrast sensitivity values were compared to postoperative values. Overall, Artisan Lens implantation appeared to be safe and effective for the treatm...
Article
A prospective study of conductive keratoplasty for +0.75D to +3.00D of hyperopia was performed at multiple locations. Preoperative refraction and visual acuity data were compared to postoperative values. It was found that conductive keratoplasty is a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of low hyperopia.
Article
To assess the safety and efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for secondary hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism and to develop a VISX STAR S2 LASIK nomogram (VISX Inc., Santa Clara, CA) for consecutive hyperopia after prior myopic refractive surgery. Prospective, nonrandomized, self-controlled interventional study. Thirty patients with...

To assess the safety and efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism and develop a LASIK nomogram for primary hyperopia or hyperopia secondary to myopic refractive surgery using the VISX STAR S2. Prospective evaluation of LASIK in 46 primary eyes and 29 secondary eyes with fogged manifest sphere from +0....

... Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) patients with suspected keratoconus or ectasia, (2) notable cataract or retinal pathology, (3) active ocular disease, e.g., glaucoma, uveitis, severe dry eye or blepharitis, (4) patients with a history of herpes simplex or herpes zoster, (5) 12 months postop K reading of more than 50, (6) cycloplegic-subjective difference of refraction >2 D, (7) corneal warpage (i.e., topographical abnormalities induced by contact lens using), and (8) thin cornea (<480 µm or expected postoperative residual stromal thickness <300 µm). In addition to the above, patients with certain conditions and disorders (e.g., pregnancy, lactation, diabetes, connective tissue disease, severe atopy, and immunocompromised state), those who participated in a clinical trial using another ophthalmic drug or device, and those who were sensitive to concomitant medications were also excluded from the study [6,11,12,[14][15][16]. ...
... 00 D, because these individuals are more likely to develop emmetropia(Artini et al., 2018; Keratomileusis et al., n.d.). This procedure is also reported as safe and efficacious in patients with hyperopia and astigmatism(Lindstrom et al., 2000). LASIK is now the most used laser therapy for refractive error. ...
