Effect of keratometry on visual outcomes 1 month after hyperopic LASIK.

Purpose: To determine whether preoperative, postoperative, or change in keratometry can be used to predict visual outcomes in hyperopic LASIK.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on hyperopic eyes treated at Optical Express clinics. All eyes were targeted for emmetropia and treated using wavefront-guided LASIK (VISX S4, Abbott Medical Optics [AMO]), with flaps created using a femtosecond laser (IntraLase FS-60 [AMO]).
