Purpose.
To assess anterior corneal surface stability 12 months following hyperopic LASIK correction with a light propagation algorithm.
Setting.
Vissum Instituto Oftalmológico de Alicante, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Alicante, Spain.
Methods.
This retrospective consecutive observational study includes 37 eyes of 37 patients treated with 6th-generation excimer laser platform (Schwind Amaris).
Hyperopic LASIK was performed in all of them by the same surgeon (JLA) and completed 12-month follow-up.
Corneal topography was analyzed with a light propagation algorithm, to assess the stability of the corneal outcomes along one year of follow-up.
Results.
Between three and twelve months postoperatively, an objective corneal power (OCP) regression of 0.39 D and 0.41 D was found for 6 mm and 9 mm central corneal zone, respectively.
Subjective outcomes at the end of the follow-up period were as follows: 65% of eyes had spherical equivalent within ±0.50 D.
70% of eyes had an uncorrected distance visual acuity 20/20 or better.
86% of eyes had the same or better corrected distance visual acuity.
In terms of stability, 0.14 D of regression was found.
No statistically significant differences were found for all the study parameters evaluated at different postoperative moments over the 12-month period.
Conclusions.
Light propagation analysis confirms corneal surface stability following modern hyperopic LASIK with a 6th-generation excimer laser technology over a 12-month period.
