[Chinese expert consensus on laser corneal refractive surgery for correction of refractive errors with age-related accommodation deficiency (2021)].

For people receiving laser corneal refractive surgery for refractive errors combined with age-related accommodation deficiency, more attention should be given to avoid wearing reading spectacles prematurely for presbyopia after no spectacles for distant vision are needed. Cautious preoperative screening, personalized and reasonable surgical design and postoperative care should be ensured to achieve satisfactory results. This expert consensus is written by the experts from the Refractive Surgery Group of Chinese Ophthalmologist Association based on the clinical experience and research findings. Selection of indications, methods and significance of the monocular tolerance test, customized surgical design, evaluation of postoperative visual quality and specific nursing are described, with an aim to provide guidance for the clinical standardization of laser corneal refractive surgery in the correction of refractive errors with age-related accommodation deficiency.
