Outcomes of Corneal Compound Hyperopic Astigmatism With Presbyopia by Zeiss PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision LASIK Using Default Custom Refractive Software Master Target Refractions for Reduced Anisometropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and stability of a modified PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision protocol (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) for correcting hyperopic astigmatism and presbyopia, using Custom Refractive Software Master (CRSM) targeting over a 6-month period. Methods: A total of 636 eyes of 318 patients with a mean age of 51.05 ± 4.71 years (range: 40 to 60 years) met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients completed a 6-month follow-up. CRSM software was used to generate ablation profiles for the MEL90 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). The target refraction was emmetropic for the dominant eyes and between −0.75 and −1.12 diopters (D) for the near eyes. Results: Visual and refractive results were studied separately by the dominant and non-dominant eyes. The mean attempt to correct for spherical equivalent refraction was +2.17 ± 1.16 D (range: −1.00 to +5.37 D). The mean attempted cylinder was −0.60 ± 0.75 D (range: −4.00 to 0.00 D). All eyes monocularly achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/25 or better after refractive treatment and 88% achieved 20/20. Binocularly all eyes achieved UDVA of 20/25 or better and 96.54% achieved 20/20. Ninety-eight percent of the patients maintained their corrected distance visual acuity before surgery and UDVA 6 months after surgery. Conclusions: This hyperopic micro-anisometropia protocol with PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision was an effective, safe, and well-tolerated refractive treatment. It was an effective procedure with excellent results for UDVA and uncorrected near visual acuity and demonstrates that binocular summation exists.
