Supracor Multifocal Corneal Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis Procedure for the Correction of Presbyopia in Hyperopic Eyes.

PURPOSE: To investigate the outcomes of unilateral Supracor treatment to enhance near vision while maintaining good distance vision in hyperopic eyes.

METHODS

This prospective interventional study includes consecutive hyperopic patients with presbyopia. All eyes underwent femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis treatment for hyperopia with an additional Supracor multifocal treatment algorithm in nondominant eyes. Monocular and binocular uncorrected and spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA and SCDVA), monocular and binocular uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), and distance-corrected near visual acuity at 40 cm and high-order aberration changes and complications were evaluated for 6 months.

RESULTS

Sixty-four patients with a mean age of 51.91 ± 3.64 were enrolled. After 6-month follow-up, the mean binocular UCDVA and UNVA were 0.03 ± 0.05 and 0.04 ± 0.06 logMAR, respectively. UCDVA (logMAR) of nondominant and dominant eyes was 0.30 ± 0.18 and 0.03 ± 0.05, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative mean ± standard deviation manifest refraction spherical equivalent was +1.84 ± 0.75 and -0.48 ± 0.57, respectively, in nondominant eyes and +1.77 ± 0.69 and +0.12 ± 0.33, respectively, in dominant eyes. No complications were observed.

CONCLUSION

Supracor procedure in nondominant eyes may improve functional near, intermediate, and distance vision without significant photic phenomena in presbyopic patients with low and moderate hyperopia.
