Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and satisfaction of patients who underwent LASIK for presbyopia correction in myopic patients using aspheric micro-monovision.
Methods: LASIK for presbyopic correction using aspheric micro-monovision was performed in 18 patients between December 2010 and December 2011. Distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity, refractive change, and patient¡¯s satisfaction were evaluated for at least 12 months after the surgery.
Results: Among dominant eyes, 100% achieved uncorrected distance and intermediate visual acuity of 0.8 or better and 100% of the eyes achieved 0.8 or better binocularly. In the non-dominant eyes, 83% achieved uncorrected near visual acuity of J3 or better, and 94% of the eyes achieved J3 or better binocularly. Postoperatively, the mean manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) of the dominant eyes were -0.09 ¡¾ 0.35D, -0.17 ¡¾ 0.42D, and -0.17 ¡¾ 0.47D at 1, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The MRSE of the non-dominant eyes were -0.94 ¡¾ 0.53D, -1.03 ¡¾ 0.56D, and -1.02 ¡¾ 0.50D at postoperative 1, 6, and 12 months, respectively, without significant regression. After surgery, the patient¡¯s overall satisfaction score was good (4.2 out of 5).
Conclusions: The aspheric micro-monovision protocol showed good distance, intermediate, and near visual outcomes, and was a well-tolerated, stable, and effective procedure for treating patients with myopic presbyopia.
