| Abstract |
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Supracor excimer laser algorithm to treat hyperopic presbyopic patients using laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK). This is a retrospective case review of patients diagnosed with hyperopia (Sphere ≥ +0.0 D and presbyopia reading add ≥ 1.0 D) who underwent Supracor excimer laser treatment on at least one eye for presbyopia correction from year May 2011 to May 2013. Binocular vision was further analyzed after patients were subdivided into three groups: Group A (n = 22 eyes, 11 patients) had Supracor on both eyes; Group B (n = 18 eyes, 18 patients) had Supracor in one eye and hyperopic LASIK on fellow eye; and Group C (n = 29 eyes, 29 patients) had Supracor in one eye and no treatment on the fellow eye. This study evaluated 58 patients wherein 69 eyes underwent Supracor presbyopic LASIK. Preoperatively, mean manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) of all eyes that underwent Supracor was +1.37 ± 0.72 D with mean uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) of 20/50 (0.35 logMAR), 20/50 (0.35 logMAR), and J9 (0.61 logMAR), respectively. At 6 months postoperatively, mean MRSE was -0.43 ± 0.59 D with mean UDVA, UIVA and UNVA of 20/25 (0.13 logMAR), 20/20 (0.01 logMAR), and J1 (0.05 logMAR), respectively. Loss of two lines of best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) was seen in 6% of eyes. Mean corneal steepening of 1.0 D at the 3 mm zone and 0.7 D in the 5 mm zone was observed. Mean vertical coma increased from -0.02 to +0.10 while mean 4th order spherical aberration became more negative from 0.20 to -0.14. Mean binocular UDVA, UIVA, and UNVA are 20/20, 20/20 and J1, respectively, in all treatment groups at the 6 month postoperative follow-up. No significant differences in binocular UDVA (p ≥ 0.36), UIVA (p ≥ 0.19) and UNVA (p ≥ 0.56) among groups were seen. Supracor excimer laser algorithm is safe and effective for the treatment of presbyopia in hyperopes. Monolateral and bilateral Supracor treatments yielded similarly good binocular vision outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 April 2017.
All research outputs
#20,403,545
of 22,953,506 outputs
Outputs from Eye and Vision
#118
of 239 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#354,270
of 420,175 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Eye and Vision
#4
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,953,506 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 239 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 420,175 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
