| Doel | To correct presbyopia in hyperopic eyes by LASEK |
| Methodes | LASEK was performed with the broad beam Gaussian excimer laser of InPro on 20 eyes of 10 patients. 12 ablation zones of 3,5mm diameter were performed around a central ablation free zone of 3mm. For the four inferior ablation zones, 2 diopter was added. |
| Resultaten | Mean age was 50,2 year (range 44-59)Mean pre-operative refraction was +2,9D+:-1,3D. Post operative uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA) was 0,9 (range0.7-1.0). All patients could read Parinaud 2,40% of the cases could read Parinaud1. |
| Conclusie | Adding a supplementary eccentric ablation of 2 dioters in the inferior quadrant gives a good presbyopic correction. No side effects such as monocular dipolpia were noticed. |
