Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of the excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for treatment of high myopia.Methods LASIK was performed on 308 eyes of 186 patients who were followed up for one year. The patients were divided into two groups (group A and group B) according to preoperative diopters.Results One year after surgery, in group A(-6.0～-10.0D) the uncorrected visual acuities of 0.5 and 1.0 were in 95.76% and 77.58% of the eyes, the mean residual refraction was -0.32D±0.46D. In group B(-10.25～-20.0D) the uncorrected visual acuities of 0.5 and 1.0 were in 62.24% and 37.06% of the eyes, the mean residual refraction was -0.92D±1.13D.Conclusion It is an effective and safe refraction surgery to correct high myopia with LASIK.
