Narrative Responses:
Purpose
Evaluate results and bilateral refractive vision surgery patients Supracor©, this is a varifocal progressive algorithm, which takes into account the typical treatment approaches significantly improve them PresbyLASIK previously created, giving rise in the quality of vision and maintaining a very good vision at all distances.
Methods
This is a retrospective study of 23 patients randomized presbyopic and ametropias by far. Are tracked during the year2012-2013.Theaverage age is52.1years,ofwhom 60%were female and 40% male. The selection criteria were patients without previous ocular surgery,hyperopicof0.5Dto 3Dwith the addition of about1Dto 3D.
Results
The postoperative results of the manifest sphere and cylinder have average-0.55Dand-0.05Dper month,-0.46Dand-0.01Dto-0.46Dsixth monthandyearand0.00Drespectively.Theuncorrectedbinocular visual acuity for farpostoperativemonth17%of patients have a0.5or better and 20%achieved1.0, 42%of patients have a0.8or better and 56%stood at1.0at the sixth month post-operative, and 42%of patients have a0.5or better and 53%reached1.0per year postoperatively. Binocular visual acuity without correction for near, 22%of patients had0.63or better and 34%reached1.0 at postoperative month, 46%had0.8or better and 54%reached1.0at six months post-operative, and 48%had0.8or better and 52%reached1.0.
Conclusion
