[Clinical observation on the relation between laser in situ keratomileusis treating myopic anisometropia and binocular vision].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To analyze the effect of LASIK on visual quality of anisometropia, and evaluate its clinical value in the view of visual quality.

METHODS:

Prospective observational case series. Assayed the naked vision, glasses-corrected vision and binocular vision of 45 cases with anisometropia >or= 2.25D before and after the operation of LASIK.

RESULTS:

91.57% of the eyes after the operation reached the vision >or= 0.8, which says a significant improvement for binocular vision after the operation (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference on diopter between the pre-operation and post-operation (P < 0.05). As for anisometropia, there was no significant difference between simultaneous binocular visions (P = 0.431), but there was of great significance among combined, short and long distance stereopsis visions (P = 0.000). Binocular vision deteriorated as anisometropia increased (P < 0.05). The short distance stereopsis visions of LASIK-treated myopic anisometropia were better than that of glasses-corrected patients (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

The operation of LASIK can improve the visual quality and resume the binocular vision. LASIK can correct anisometropia and its therapeutic efficacy deserves to confirm.
