Abstract
Purpose To assess the efficacy and safety of intrastromal lenticule implantation for the treatment of hyperopia. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Internet, and Wan Fang Database identified studies on small-incision intrastromal lenticule implantation for hyperopia correction until January 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool was used to assess the quality of the retrospective research, and the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS) was used to assess the quality of the prospective research. This study included postoperative visual outcomes, corneal morphology, and biomechanical outcomes. Results A total of 456 articles were identified, of which 10 were included in the meta-analysis. Ten single-arm studies involving 190 eyes were included. A meta-analysis demonstrated that corneal intrastromal lenticule implantation treatment significantly improved hyperopia. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) significantly improved compared to the preoperative value (p = 0.027), corrected distance visual acuity showed no difference compared to the preoperative value (p = 0.27), and 87% eyes have no loss of one or more lines in the Snellen lines of CDVA (p < 0.00001). There was a significant difference between the spherical equivalent refractive (SE) and preoperative examination (p < 0.00001), 52% of eyes had ±0.5 diopters (D) postoperative SE (p < 0.00001), and 74% eyes had ±1.0 D postoperative SE (p < 0.00001). The central corneal thickness (CCT) increased by 72.68 μm compared to that preoperatively (p < 0.00001), and corneal curvature increased by 4.18D (p < 0.00001). The Q-value decreased by 0.82 (p < 0.00001), and higher-order aberration (HOA) decreased by 0.66 (p < 0.00001). Conclusion Small-incision intrastromal lenticule implantation may be an effective solution for correcting hyperopia. The effect of improved vision is significant, but further exploration is needed for changes in corneal biomechanics and long-term safety.Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier: CRD42023432343.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify factors predicting slow visual recovery following hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS The study included consecutive patients who underwent hyperopic LASIK between January 2005 and December 2019 at a single medical center. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they experienced normal recovery of visual acuity (1-week visit) or slow visual recovery (1-month visit). Visual recovery was defined as achieving an efficacy index of 0.9 or greater. Efficacy index was calculated as postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity / preoperative corrected distance visual acuity. A comparison of baseline and intraoperative parameters was performed. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify potential predictors of slow visual recovery. RESULTS Overall, 861 eyes of 861 patients were included. Mean age was 48.0 ± 9.5 years and 55.9% were women. Two hundred forty-nine patients (28.9%) experienced slow visual recovery. Younger age (P = .01), a larger preoperative spherical equivalence (P = .002), and greater maximum ablation depth (P = .002) were predictors of slow visual recovery. In binary logistic regression, female gender (P = .036) and greater spherical equivalence (P = .007) remained significant predictors of slow visual recovery. CONCLUSIONS Female gender and greater preoperative spherical equivalence were associated with slow visual recovery. Patients may be advised accordingly. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(1):e42-e47.].

Shahin B, Ojaghi H, Amani F. One-year follow-up of patients with hyperopia undergoing photorefractive keratectomy with Allegretto WaveLight Eye Q 400. J Med Life 2022; 15:489-498. [PMID: 35646175 PMCID: PMC9126459 DOI: 10.25122/jml-2021-0028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in treating patients with cycloplegic hyperopia from +1.00 to +7.00 diopter using Allegretto wave Eye Q 400. This study was conducted on 25 patients with cycloplegic astigmatism ≤1 diopter and cycloplegic hyperopia between +1.00 and +7.00 diopters in 47 eyes, who successively entered into the study within 6 months and underwent PRK. Prior to PRK surgery, all the patients were examined for cycloplegic refraction (astigmatism and hyperopia), slit lamp, keratometry, fundus, and best-corrected (BCVA) and uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) testing. These examinations were repeated after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. The mean preop UCVA of patients was 0.76±0.28 (ranging from 0.00 to 1.3), which reached 0.19±0.22 (ranging from 0.00 to 0.78) one year after the surgery (P=0.000). There was a significant correlation between increasing astigmatism and preop cycloplegic hyperopia >5 diopters (P=0.000), corneal ring haziness at 12th months (P=0.000), and 12 months cycloplegic residual hyperopia ≥2.00 diopters (P=0.000). 53.2% of the eyes (with a mean grade of 2.34) were detected with corneal ring haziness at 12th months, which was significantly correlated with 12 months residual cycloplegic hyperopia of ≥2.00 diopters (P: 0.000) and cycloplegic sphere above 5 diopters (P=0.006). Although the use of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with Allegretto Eye Q 400 is associated with a decrease in the mean cycloplegic and improved UCVA and BCVA, its use is not recommended in cases with preop cycloplegic hyperopia above 5 diopters due to the high rate of induction of astigmatism, corneal haziness, and regression of hyperopia.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate safety and efficacy of Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) procedure for the correction of high hypermetropia. Methods: Retrospective study of 160 patients (266 eyes) who underwent LASIK procedure for the correction of hypermetropia between +3.00 and +7.00 diopters(D) and cylinder up to 2.00D from January 2013 and August 2015. All ablations were performed with Wavelight Allegretto Eye-Q400Hzexcimer laser (Alcon, Forth Worth, TX, USA) with aberration free module and were centered on a corneal vertex. All flaps were made with Moria M2 (Moria, Antony, France) mechanical microkeratome (90μm head). Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected and corrected distant visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), spherical equivalent (SE) and a berrometry for 5mm pupil were measured. Measurements were taken at 1 week, 1,3,6 and 12 months after the surgery. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Postoperative UDVA was lower than preoperative CDVA at 1 week(p=0.001), at 1 month there was no difference (p=0.099), and at 3,6 and 12 months UDVA was better (p<0.0001). Preoperative SE was 4.69±1.20D (+3.75 to +7.50D). At 1 week SE was 0.03±0.67D (-0.50 to +0.63D), while at 1 year regressed to 0.58±0.56D (+0.25 to +0.88D). Sphere shifted from negative values targeted in treatment planning to compensate for regression to positive values. There was significant difference in SE at every time point (p<0.0005). There was a significant increase in coma (p<0.0001), trefoil (p<0.0001, p=0.0006) and spherical aberration (p=0.022, p=0.0052) at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively, without change throughout the rest of follow up. Conclusion: LASIK for high hypermetropia showed satisfactory results in postoperative refraction with reasonable regression without significant loss of lines of visual acuity. However, more test are necessary to asses optical quality.

Abstract
AimTo evaluate refractive and visual outcomes of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to treat high hyperopia using an aberration-neutral profile and large ablation zone.MethodsThis was a retrospective, consecutive observational case series at the Oftalmika Eye Hospital, Bydgoszcz, Poland. We included 51 consecutive eyes of 34 patients who underwent alcohol-assisted PRK to correct hyperopia within the range of +3.6 to +6.15 D (mean+4.61±0.67 D). Procedures were performed with an Amaris 750S excimer laser (Schwind eye-tech-solutions GmbH, Kleinostheim, Germany) using an aberration-neutral profile and a 10 mm total ablation zone. Refractive results, predictability, safety and efficacy were evaluated 3 years postoperatively.ResultsAt 1-year postsurgery, the mean manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) was −0.002±0.43 D and mean cylinder was −0.181±0.31 D, while the values were +0.09±0.46 D and −0.15±0.26 D, respectively, at 2 years (MRSE p<0.001) and +0.15±0.44 D and −0.15±0.26 D, respectively, at 3 years (MRSE p<0.001). 78% of eyes were within ±0.50 D of the attempted spherical equivalent correction. Three years postoperatively, 22% of eyes lost one line of corrected distance visual acuity and 27% gained a line or two. The change in the mean corneal spherical aberrations for the 6 mm zone was from 0.27±0.07 to 0.08±0.13 µm.ConclusionsHigh hyperopia correction with PRK using an aberration-neutral profile and large ablation zone provides good efficacy, safety, predictability and visual outcomes. Relatively low change of corneal spherical aberrations and low increase of hyperopia in the first three postoperative years were observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the risk factors for re-treatment following LASIK in hyperopic eyes. METHODS In this retrospective study, consecutive hyperopic eyes underwent LASIK at the Care Vision Laser Centers, Tel-Aviv, Israel, between January 2000 and October 2014. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not they underwent additional refractive surgery (re-treatment). Logistic regression was performed to determine predictors of re-treatment. RESULTS Overall, 1,776 eyes of 888 patients were included, of which 82 (4.6%) needed re-treatment. Eyes that underwent re-treatment were of older age (49.1 ± 7.5 vs 46.9 ± 10.3 years, P = .01), had better preoperative CDVA (1.0 ± 0.14 vs 0.95 ± 0.15 decimal, P = .001), were treated more often with the Allegretto EX200 (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) as opposed to the EX-500 (90.2% vs 63.7%, P < .001), and were treated with a Moria M2-90 microkeratome (Moria S.A., Antony, France) as opposed to Moria SBK-90 (66.7% vs 36.4%, P < .001). Multiple logistic regresison analysis demonstrated that treatment with Allegretto EX200 (odds ratio: 2.67, P = .04), and Moria M2-90 microkeratome (odds ratio: 2.23, P = .04) and older age (odds ratio: 1.03, P = .03) were significant risk factors for re-treatment. CONCLUSIONS Factors associated with a higher risk of re-treatment following hyperopic LASIK include type of laser, type of microkeratome used, and older age. Identifying such factors may aid in reducing future retreatment rates in hyperopic LASIK. [J Refract Surg. 2018;34(5):316-320.].

Abstract
Purpose To investigate refractive outcomes and induction of corneal higher order aberrations (HOA) in eyes that underwent laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for high hyperopia correction using an aberration neutral profile with corneal vertex centration and asymmetric offset. Methods A total of 24 consecutive patients (38 eyes) who underwent LASIK by one surgeon using AMARIS 750S excimer laser and a Carriazo-Pendular microkeratome for flap creation were retrospectively analyzed. Eyes targeted for plano and with correction in the maximum hyperopic meridian strictly higher than +4D were included in the retrospective analysis. Patients were reviewed at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Postoperative monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction, and corneal wavefront aberrations were compared with respective preoperative metrics. Results Mean preoperative spherical equivalent and refractive astigmatism was +4.07 ± 0.90 D and 1.37 ± 1.26 D, respectively, reducing to +0.28 ± 0.58D (p<0.0001) and 0.49 ± 0.47 D (p = 0.0001) at the last postoperative visit. Six months postoperatively, 78% of eyes achieved a UDVA of 20/25 or better. No eye lost more than 2 Snellen lines of CDVA at any follow-up. There was a statistically significant induction of vertical trefoil (+0.104 ± 0.299 µm, p<0.05), vertical coma (-0.181 ± 0.463 µm, p<0.01), horizontal coma (+0.198 ± 0.663 µm, p<0.05), spherical aberration (-0.324 ± 0.281 µm, p<0.0001), secondary vertical trefoil (+0.018 ± 0.044 µm, p<0.01), and secondary horizontal coma (+0.026 ± 0.083 µm, p<0.05) Conclusions Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis for high hyperopia using corneal vertex centration with asymmetric offset results in significant improvement in refraction and visual acuity although affected by significant induction of some higher order aberrations.

Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate the long-term efficacy, accuracy, stability, and safety of hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using a 213 nm wavelength solid-state laser. Methods. This prospective noncomparative case series consisted of 34 eyes of 17 patients which underwent hyperopic LASIK using a 213 nm solid-state laser (Pulzar Z1, CustomVis) at an outpatient refractive surgery center in Manila, Philippines. The preoperative and postoperative examinations included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), subjective manifest refraction, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), cycloplegic refraction, slitlamp biomicroscopy, and keratometry (K). Main Outcome Measures. Accuracy, efficacy, stability, and safety of the refractive procedure. Results. Mean follow-up was 25.18 ± 13.79 months. At the end of follow-up, 26.47% had a UDVA of 20/20 and 94.12% had a UDVA of ≥20/40. Manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) was within ±0.50 D of the target refraction in 55.88% and within ±1.0 D in 85.30% of the study eyes. Refractive stability was noted in the 1st postoperative month while hyperopic regression was noted after the 3rd postoperative year. No eye lost more than 2 lines of CDVA. Conclusion. Our results show that the 213 nm solid state laser system is safe, effective, accurate, and predictable for the treatment of hyperopia.
