PURPOSE: To assess the safety and efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for secondary hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism and to develop a VISX STAR S2 LASIK nomogram (VISX Inc., Santa Clara, CA) for consecutive hyperopia after prior myopic refractive surgery. DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized, self-controlled interventional study. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty patients with consecutive hyperopia or hyperopia and astigmatism after LASIK, photorefractive keratectomy, automated lamellar keratoplasty, or radial keratotomy. INTERVENTION/METHODS: Prospective evaluation of LASIK in 30 secondary eyes with fogged manifest sphere from +0.5 to +6.0 diopters (D) and cylinder from 0 to +5.0 D. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and spherical equivalent (SE). RESULTS: Mean manifest SE was +1.73 +/- 0.79 D before surgery, -0.13 +/- 1.00 D at 6 months after surgery, and -0.18 +/- 1.08 D at 1 year after surgery. At 6 months, 84% of patients with secondary hyperopia had UCVA of 20/40 or better; 76% were within +/-1 D of emmetropia. At 1 year, 85% had UCVA of 20/40 or better and 85% were within +/-1 D of emmetropia. No patients with secondary hyperopia lost 2 or more lines of BCVA at 1 year. Complications included intraoperative bleeding (3.3%), intraoperative epithelial defect (3.3%), transient interface debris (3.3%), significant dry eye (3.3%), blood in interface (3.3%), irregular astigmatism (6.7%), slight decentration (6.7%), trace haze (6.7%), or mild epithelial ingrowth not requiring removal (3.3%). CONCLUSIONS: These early data suggest that LASIK for consecutive hyperopia from +0.5 to +5.50 D and astigmatism from 0 to +2.75 D using the VISX STAR S2 benefits from a nomogram adjusted for preoperative refraction, age, and prior refractive surgery, and is safe and effective. |
