Purpose
To evaluate the monocular and binocular visual outcomes of LASIK with a non-linear aspheric micro-monovisionprotocol for the correction of Emmetropia with presbyopia
Setting
PRASAD NETRALAYA SUPER SPECIALITY EYE HOSPITAL ,UDUPI
Methods
A prospective, non-comparative case series which included 200 eyes of 100 consecutive patients with emmetropicpresbyopia who were treated with LASIK using the laser blended vision protocol(Carl Zeiss). CRS-Master software and MEL 80 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec,Germany) were used for the study. The target refraction was plano for distance eyes (dominant eye) and between -1.25 and -1.75 diopters (D) for near eyes. The study included emmetropes between ages 39 to 55 yrs(mean 47) and a followup period of minimum 2 year.
Results
Achieved Spherical equivalent correction was within +/-0.50 D in 92% and within +/-1.00 D in 100% of eyes at 2year .Monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/20(6/6) atleast in 70%, 20/32(6/9) atleast in 98%. Binocularly 80% read 6/6 atleast and 100% read 6/9. Binocular uncorrected near visual acuity was N8 in 3% and N6 in 97%of patients. None of the eyes lost 1 or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity
Conclusions
The non-linear aspheric micro-monovision protocol was well-tolerated, stable in 2 year , and a safe treatment option in patients with emmetropic presbyopia. Stability of refraction and results over longer duration need to be studied
