Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, predictability, stability and safety of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct residual ASTIGMATISM after CATARACT SURGERY. Methods: LASIK was performed on 20 eyes of 20 patients with refractive myopic or mixed ASTIGMATISM of 3.00 to 6.00 diopters (D) after extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation without complication. Each eye underwent bitoric LASIK one year or more after CATARACT SURGERY. All cases were followed for 6 months. All eyes were treated with the Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser and the automated corneal shaper microkeratome. Results: At 6 months after LASIK the mean refractive ASTIGMATISM decreased from 4.64±0.63D (range, 3.50 to 6.00 D) to 0.44±0.24D (range, 0.00 to 1.00D) (P<0.001).The mean percent reduction of ASTIGMATISM was 90.4±5.0% (range, 80 to 100%). The mean refractive spherical equivalent decreased from -2.19±0.88D (range, -3.88 to -1.00 D) to -0.32±0.34D (range, +0.38 to -1.25 D) (P<0.001). Vector analysis showed that the mean amount of axis deviation was 0.7±1.2° (range, 0.0° to 4.3°) and the mean percent correction of preoperativeastigmatismwas92.1±5.9% (range,85.6to 108%). Eighty-five percent of all eyes had a mean spherical equivalent and mean cylinder within ±0.50D of emmetropia. Changes of spherical equivalent and cylinder between 2 weeks and 6 months was less than or equal ±0.5 D in 90%, and 95% of all eyes, respectively. Spectacle-corrected visual acuity was not reduced in any eye, and improved one line in 6 eyes (30%) after LASIK. There were no intraoperative complications. Diffuse lamellar keratitis occurred in three eyes (15%) after LASIK and was treated medically without sequelae. Conclusion: LASIK was an effective, predictable, stable and safe procedure for correction of residual myopic or mixed ASTIGMATISM of 3.00 to 6.00 D with a low spherical component after CATARACT SURGERY.
