Refractive and Visual Outcomes of SUPRACOR TENEO 317 LASIK for Presbyopia in Hyperopic Eyes: 24-Month Follow-up.

PURPOSE

To analyze the efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability in hyperopic presbyopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgeries with the TENEO 317 algorithm (Bausch & Lomb Technolas, Munich, Germany).

METHODS

Eighty eyes from 40 patients who underwent hyperopic and presbyopic LASIK in this retrospective, observational, and longitudinal study were included. All patients had a 24-month follow-up. Excimer laser treatment was performed with TECNOLAS Perfect Vision GmbH TENEO 317 software version 1.25 (Bausch & Lomb) with the PROSCAN platform for the distance dominant eye and the SUPRACOR mild platform for the near dominant eye.

RESULTS

Mean age was 53.90 ± 4.84 years (range: 42 to 66 years). Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 0.00 ± 0.04 (20/19.97) for the dominant eye and 0.14 ± 0.05 (20/27.65) for the non-dominant eye. Postoperative uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.51 ± 0.17 (J9) for the dominant eye and 0.09 ± 0.06 (J1.5) for the non-dominant eye, whereas 2.5% of non-dominant eyes lost two lines of corrected distance visual acuity. Half of non-dominant eyes lost one line, and 2.5% of dominant and non-dominant eyes changed 0.50 D or more between 3 and 24 months.

CONCLUSIONS

PROSCAN surgery in the dominant eye and SUPRACOR surgery in the non-dominant eye using the TENEO 317 algorithm demonstrated that the hyperopic presbyopic excimer laser surgery technique resulted in acceptable and stable outcomes after 24 months of follow-up. [J Refract Surg. 2019;35(9):591-598.].
