Abstract:
AIM: To evaluate safety, efficacy, visual quality, and patient satisfaction after optimized monovision Q-value-customized femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)for myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled patients suffering myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. At 1 y post operation, uncorrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity(UDVA, UIVA, UNVA), refraction, corneal higher order aberrations(HOAs), Q value, objective visual quality, and near stereoacuity were evaluated. The impact of surgery on patients' living quality and their satisfaction were evaluated based on National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument(NEI RQL)scores at 1-year follow-up.RESULTS:The study enrolled 36 patients(72 eyes)including 12 males(33%)and 24 females(67%)with an average age of 46.03±3.60(range 40-53)y. One year postoperatively, 97% of patients achieved binocular UDVA of 1.0 or better, 89% achieved UIVA of 0.63 or better, and 97% achieved UNVA of 1.0 or better. The spherical equivalent refraction(SE)in dominant eye within ±1.00 D was 100%. SE in non-dominant eyes was uncorrected compared with the preoperative target correction, with a mean difference of -0.27±0.34 D before and after surgery(P<0.001). while in the non-dominant eyes, the anterior corneal Q-value within the 5 mm zone increased negatively compared with the preoperative value(-0.33±0.24 vs -0.21±0.09, P<0.001). In the non-dominant eye, spherical aberration and longitudinal spherical aberration were lower than preoperative values(both P<0.001). Besides, there were no significant changes in objective scatter index(OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cut off)and Strehl ratio(SR)in both dominant and non-dominant eyes(all P>0.05), and the near stereoacuity was better after surgery(P=0.007). Additionally, the patient satisfaction rate with the surgery was 94%, the satisfaction rates for UDVA and UNVA were both 98%. The 11% of patients required to wear low-diopter glasses when driving at night.CONCLUSION:Optimized monovision Q-value-customised FS-LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for correcting myopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. It provides favorable subjective and objective visual quality and high patient satisfaction. The under correction in non-dominant eyes is observed, indicating the further optimization of nomogram is needed.
