This study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis （LASIK） for children with high anisometropic amblyopia. Methods A retrospective analysis of 24 children with high unilateral anisometropic amblyopia, who underwent LASIK during the period between August 2000 and September 2005 in our hospital, was conducted. The mean age of these children was （7.4±1.9） years （range 5-14 years） and the mean follow-up period was （33.3±14.2） months （range 18.5-74.2 months）. After LASIK, visual acuity, refraction and far or near stereoacuity were analyzed. Near stereoacuity was measured by the random-dot butterfly stereogram and the pre-school random-dot stereogram, while far stereoacuity was measured by the synoptophore with Yan＇s random-dot stereogram. Results Mean preoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 0.06±0.05, while mean postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was elevated to 0.43±0.33. Mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 0.26±0.22, while mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was elevated to 0.67±0.40. For patients with myopic anisometropia, preoperative mean spherical equivalent refraction was （-8.01±2.70） D while postoperative value significantly reduced to （-1.32±2.47） D. For patients with hyperopic anisometropia, preoperative mean spherical equivalent refraction was （ 7.35±1.55） D while postoperative value significantly reduced to （3.30±0.86） D. These results demonstrated that there was statistical difference in these parameters between preoperative and postoperative tests. At the last follow-up, 20 patients had near stereoacuity, and the mean near stereoacuities measured by the random-dot butterfly stereogram and the preschool random-dot stereogram were （149.00±152.93）＂ and （201.05±235.94）＂, respectively. In contrast, 11 patients had far stereoacuity, and the mean far stereoacuity measured by the synoptophore was （210.91±217.51）. Three cases of patients developed mild corneal complications. Conclusion LASIK for the correction of high anisometropia in children with monocular amblyopia may be safe and effective, and this can help effectively conduct postoperative amblyopia training and improve the cure rate.展开更多

Methods 54 eyes of 35 patients with hyperopia ranging from+1.00 to + 6. 00 diopter(D) received a one-pass, multizone scanning excimer laser ablations using the Chiron Technolas Keracor 11 7C excimer laser and System ALK automated corneal shaper H-230.Data on uncorrected and hot corrected visual acuity, predictability, stability of refraction, and complications were analyzed. The average follow-up was 12 months. Results At 12 months, the average residual refraction was(+ 0. 29 ±0. 78)D. 45 eyes (83.3% ) were in the range of ±1. OD and 33 eyes(61. 1% ) were within the range of ± 0. 5D. 50 eyes (92. 6% ) had uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better and 34 eyes (63. 0% ) had 20/20 or better. 1 eyes (1. 9% ) lost 2 line of the best-corrected visual acuity and 2 eyes (3. 7% ) gained 2 lines or more. 2 eyes (3. 7%) had complaint of halos and 1 eyes (1. 9% ) had glare at 12 months. Conclusion LASIK can he used to treat hyperopia from + 1. 0D to + 6. 0D with good predictability and city. Primary and second hyperopia should he treated with different nomogram. some modification of the surgical algorithms and laser nomogram will help to improve predictability and stability of outcome.展开更多
