Hyperopia
Hyperopia ≥ 2D 6% of populationLow Hyperopia
good vision in youngpoor vision in adults
Hyperopia affects both distance and near vision and is compounded by presbyopia

PROBLEMS IN HYPEROPIA
Pt’s age > 40- Dry eyes- BMD- More epithelial defects
Flap size 9.5 mm- Small eyes and pannus
(limbal bleeding)

PROBLEMS IN HYPEROPIA
Large area of treatment Long ablation time Centration is critical
![Page 6: Faik Orucov*, MD, Sinan Goker*,MD, Abraham Solomon**, MD, Joseph Frucht-Pery**, MD *Refractive Surgery Department, ISTANBUL SURGERY HOSPITAL Istanbul,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ada7f8b9ab0599744a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PROBLEMS IN HYPEROPIA
Initial overcorrection (myopia)
Slow regression [1 y. in high hyperopia]
Enhancement is complicated Final K-reading < 50 [D]
![Page 7: Faik Orucov*, MD, Sinan Goker*,MD, Abraham Solomon**, MD, Joseph Frucht-Pery**, MD *Refractive Surgery Department, ISTANBUL SURGERY HOSPITAL Istanbul,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ada7f8b9ab0599744a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hyperopic correction is significantly more likely to regress Regression greater than myopic correction. The possibility of regression;
hyperplastic healing response of the cornea to fill in this ablated step between the treated and untreated zones, thereby not only resulting in loss of effect over time but also inducing an astigmatic error in case of uneven fill-ins.

PURPOSE
To compare visual outcome measurements in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia using the Technolas 217 and Allegretto excimer laser.
![Page 9: Faik Orucov*, MD, Sinan Goker*,MD, Abraham Solomon**, MD, Joseph Frucht-Pery**, MD *Refractive Surgery Department, ISTANBUL SURGERY HOSPITAL Istanbul,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1ada7f8b9ab0599744a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
METHODS
Two-center retrospective studyH-LASIK by the Technolas 217; 50 eyes(Hadassah Medical Organization, Jeruasalem, (2003 and 2005)) H-LASIK by Allegretto excimer laser ; 42 eyes (Istanbul Surgery Hospital, Istanbul, (2004 and 2005))Mean follow-up 23.1±13.7 months with Technolas
19.3±8.8 months with Allegretto.Inclusion criteria; - SE up to 4.00 diopters (D) of sycloplegic
hyperopia, - Minimum F/U 12 months
Exclusion criteria; - Incomplete documentation

UCVA
The postoperative UCVA was significantly lower in eyes treated with Tecnolas on postoperative month 1 (P=.037) . At 3, 6 ,12 months and at last visit postoperatively, no significant differences were noted in UCVA between the two lasers (P=.065 to .473).

CONCLUSION
Ablation depth was greater with Technolas laser.
Visual and refractive results were similar between the Technolas and Allegretto laser systems after 3 months of the procedure.
