Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: This case series enrolled 21 patients with up to +5.50 diopters (D) of hyperopia. All 42 eyes were treated with the Concerto (Wavelight) or the Technolas 217-Z (Bausch and Lomb) excimer laser. Outcome measures included best corrected distance vision acuity (BCVA) and uncorrected distance vision correction and refraction at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 44.8 ± 11.3 years. Preoperatively, mean manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) was + 2.00 D ± 0.76 D and mean spherical refractive error was + 2.57 D ± 0.87 D (range, +1.25 D to + 5.50 D). At 12 months postoperatively, mean MRSE was + 0.1 D ± 0.61 D. MRSE was within ± 0.50 D of emmetropia in 29 eyes (69%), and 18 eyes (43%) had 20/20 uncorrected distant visual acuity. BCVA increased by two lines or more in three eyes (7.1%) and one line in two eyes (4.7%); 31 eyes showed no change, three eyes (7.1%) lost one line, and three other eyes (7.1%) lost two lines of BCVA. No eyes lost more than two lines of BCVA. Complications included Grade 2 peripheral haze in two eyes which cleared by 12 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: PRK-MMC was a safe and predictable method for the correction of mild to moderate hyperopia.
