Retreatments

Reinstein et al. [25]

Non-linear Aspheric micro-monovision. Target refraction was plano in the dominant eye and between -1.00 and -1.88 diopters in the non dominant eye.

1 year

148 emmetropes

55

96% → J2

95% → 20/20

From the eyes that lost 1 line, 99.3% achieved CDVA of 20/20

NA

11.8%: 40% for distance and 60% for near.

Reinstein et al. [27]

Non- linear Aspheric myopic micro-monovision. Target refraction was plano for the dominant eye and between -0.75 and -2.00 diopters in the non dominant eye. 

1 year

155 myopes with astigmatism

49

96% → J2

99% → 20/20

22 eyes lost 1 lineof UDVA

NA

19%: 52% for distance and 48% for near

Reinstein et al. [28]

Non-linear aspheric profile with -1.5 diopters of micro-monovision in the non-dominant eye.

1 year

111 hyperopes

56

81% → J2

99% > 20/25

17% lost 1 line of CDVA

NA

22%: 50% for distance, 50% for near

Yin et al. [7]

Central PresbyLASIK with corneal asphericity modulation in the non-dominant eye

1 year

69 hyperopes

53.84 ± 4.19

70% → J2

100% → 20/20

1.22% lost 2 lines, 6% lost 1 line of CDVA

100% of patients were satisfied.

16 patients, 7 in the non-dominant eye, 7 in the dominant eye, 2 bilateral retreatments

Courtain et al. [30]

Dominant eye plano target refraction, non-dominant eye aspheric ablation profile and a myopic shift.

6 months

49 hyperopes

56.5 ± 5.7

83% → J1

91% → 20/20

1 patient lost 1 line of CDVA

NA

Re-treatment rate was 10.8%.

5 patients in the non-dominant eye, 2 patients in the dominant eye.

  1. UNVA= uncorrected near visual acuity, UDVA= uncorrected distance visual acuity, CDVA= corrected distance visual acuity
