New aberration-optimized algorithm leads to good results in hyperopic patients

WARSAW, Poland — A new aberration-optimized SupraCor algorithm leads to good results in hyperopic patients, according to one surgeon. A prospective study of 46 patients with refraction between +0.5 D and +4 D and astigmatism up to 3 D was presented at the winter meeting of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. A near addition of +2 D or more was needed. Patients underwent LASIK with the Femto LDV Crystal line (Ziemer) for flap creation. “In the hyperopic patient, you initially perform the correction for far, and in the 3-mm central zone, you then perform the addition for near,” Bojan Pajic, MD, said.
