Abstract

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.
