Abstract:
LASIK is the most popular treatment method for correction of the refractive errors of ophthalmology its development in 1990 and number of patients has continued to increase.The safety and efficacy of LASIK surgery have been reported several times by numerous researchers and doctors, but all studies have made abroad. This time we have summarized postoperative outcomes of LASIK surgery, which have performed in our country. Consequently 103 patients (206 eyes) who underwent LASIK surgery in “Bolor-Melmii” eye clinic between 2007 and 2011 were enrolled. The retrospective method of study was used to evaluate postoperative outcomes. Preoperative UCVA of 0.04-0.4 improved to 0.5-1.2(decimal) at 1 day after surgery and during 1 year after surgery revealed minimal but wasstable. Preoperative mean sphere equivalent of 2.2+/-0.72D improved at the 1 year by +/-0.5D in 161 eyes (78.15%), by +/-1.0D in 39 eyes (18.9%) and by +/-2.0D in 6 eyes (2.9%)after surgery. Mean sphere equivalent and astigmatism improved to -0.46 +/-0.4D and -0.43+/-0.34D respectively at 1 year after surgery. Improvement of the sphere equivalent and its stability during a year period of study proves that LASIK surgery is an effective with stable improvements and safe procedure for correcting myopia/myopic astigmatism. No severe complications occurred during and after surgery.
