Abstract

A study to compare femto-presbyLASIK to standard myopia femto-LASIK refractive surgical correction with a total of 45 candidates was performed. The goal was to identify a more specific set of indications for presbyopia LASIK treatments. The results showed thoroughly good uncorrected visual acuity for myopia (decimal: 1.01 +/- 0.15) as well as for presbyLASIK (decimal: 0.78 +/- 0.17) corrections. Astigmatism was comparable in both groups and did not change significantly from preoperative (0.98D +/- 0.53 SD) to postoperative (1.01D +/- 0.50 SD). Our study results suggest, that presbyLASIK treatment is as safe and effective as regular LASIK myopia correction and can hence be recommended to treat presbyopia.
