MODERN REFRACTIVE SURGERY > 12 yrs old n = millions Huge refereed literature • Patient satisfaction & visual symptoms after LASIKOphthalmology (2003) 110: 1371-1378 • 97% would recommend LASIK • Halos 30% Glare 27% Starbursts 25% !!
GUIDELINES FOR REF SURGEON / STRABISMOLOGIST • PROTECT PTS & REF SURGEONS FROM COMPLICATIONS THAT CAN BE ANTICIPATED • NOT DENY PTS Q-O-L ENHANCING PROCEDURE
GUIDELINES FOR REF SURGEON / STRABISMOLOGIST • SCREENING TECHNIQUES – FOR ALL PTS See Kowal [2000] and Kowal & Kushner [2003] 2. THIS TALK: MODERATE / HIGH RISK GROUPS ONLY
REFRACTIVE SURGERY & STRABISMUS AT RISK GROUPS 1.HYPEROPIA 2.MONOVISION 3. ANISOMETROPIA 4. KNOWN / PAST STRAB.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE HYPEROPIA IS NOT THE MIRROR IMAGE OF MYOPIA
Population of hyperopes ≠ Population of myopes • mild amblyopia • Predisposed to esodeviation • Mild hyperopes: good UCV most of their lives
CONSIDER IN EVERY HYPEROPE Habitual hyperopic spectacle correction is being worn for good vision and possibly for control of esodeviation
PREDSIPOSITION TO STRAB IN HYPEROPES If recognised before RS: patient’s problem Not recognised before RS: your problem
Success of RS in myopia Primary factor : change in corneal curvature 2° factors : 2° aberrations, pupil, late ectasia
Factors for Success in hyperopiaALL OF : Change in corneal curvature & Amount & symmetry of residual hyperopia & Pre-existing predisposition to esodeviation & Effect of RS on fusional reserve & Decay of accom amp in future & Amount of latent hyperopia 2° factors: Acquired astigmatism, ↑ flap problems, 2° aberrations, loss of prismatic effects of spectacles, …
Treatment target in Myopia = Cyclo refraction Cyclo Ref should = Manifest Ref [within 0.5 DS] MR > CR : rule out underlying eXodeviation
Treatment target in hyperopia? No easy answer VISUAL PHYSIOLOGY LESSON #1 TYPES OF HYPEROPIA
Treatment target in hyperopia? Need to know ALL the H subtypes Absolute: min + for D T-hold Will allow good UCV Manifest: max + for D T-hold Max effect of H on D & N vision and on alignment Total H = Cyclo Ref Latent[TOTAL – MANIFEST] : will become manifest
TYPES OF HYPEROPIA TOTAL = Cyclo Ref PROBABLY STAYS STABLE FOREVER DS Years
TYPES OF HYPEROPIA DS TOTAL ACCOM AMP Years
TYPES OF HYPEROPIA DS TOTAL MANIFEST ABSOLUTE Years
TYPES OF HYPEROPIA DS TOTAL MANIFEST LATENT: ONLY REVEALED BY CYCLO Years
TYPES OF HYPEROPIA DS TOTAL Latent M FACULTATIVE A
FACULTATIVE HYPEROPIA Easily handled by patient’s normal accommodation ANY result in this range → good UCV If symmetric, good & comfortable UCV
HYPEROPIA TOTAL DS Z Latent Manifest Y Facultative X Absolute X : D age 20 : N 40 : N Y : D 20 : N 40 : N
HYPEROPIA TOTAL DS Z Latent Manifest Y Facultative X Absolute Z : RISK OF VISUAL DISCOMFORT, I/MITT BLUR RE ≠ LE : RISK OF ABNORMAL BINOCULAR VISION. ACCOM SPASM INCREASING ESODEVIATION.
HYPEROPIA Any uncorrected H [short of full manifest H] → accommodation → accom conv → eso tendency if motor fusion is inadequate With time, any Latent H → Manifest [=‘Recurrent H’] → accommodation → accom conv → eso tendency .. Asymmetric accommodation→ accom spasm / [varying] accom convergence → eso tendency ..
Short term patient satisfaction after RS: Abs H → good UCV. Show that with this minimum vision - improving correction in place there is still adequate control of any latent E
Medium term patient satisfaction Correction > Abs H is required : Manifest Hyperopia Max effect on D & N vision and E
REFRACTIVE SURGERY & STRABISMUS Assessing results : VISUAL PHYSIOLOGY LESSON #2
Assessing resultsUse GOOD vision charts Test monocularly for D to T-hold : ETDRS / NVRI / Bailey Lovie Snellen: not enough crowding 6/6 – 6/12 Test monocularly for N to T-hold : Rosenbaum J cards / usual cards → N5 OK to assess strength of near add NOT OK to test to T-hold
Psychophysically valid near tests * NVRI near [ETDRS]: 25cm : N 2.5 Can be used @ 40 cm * Lea : 40 cm : 20/20 Can be used @ 25 cm * M cards : American MA Evaluation of Impairment 5th Edn T-hold : 0.3
Case 1 : 32 yo WCF Wearing +4.75, + 5 DS OU no h/o strab Lasik → residual +2.25, +2 DS < AH UCV 6/7.5very happy BUT …… develops ET! No gls worn : accom amp fine for +2 DS BUT accomm conv ET : not happy
Case 2 : 24 yo WCFWearing PALs to control near ET PALs NOT RECOGNISED ‘Successful’ RS: ET’ returns LESSON: look @ the glasses! Mark Optical Centers Use automated vertometer that will automatically detect PALs and Δs
Case : 50 yo WCF Wearing +5 DS OU CR +7 DS OU Uncorrected H : + 2DS Ref lensectomy / Array → plano UCV 6/6 OU very happy 2 DS accomm → accomm conv to control XT 20∆ XT very unhappy
The safe hyperope for RS With AH correction in place: phoria ≤ 5 ∆ BIFR > 5 ∆ LH ≤ 1 DS MANY [?most] low hyperopes
