Laser in situ keratomileusis for hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism using the Meditec MEL 70 spot scanner.

Purpose: To evaluate safety, predictability, efficacy, and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for spherical hyperopia and hyperopia with astigmatism.

Methods: In this retrospective study we analyzed the results of 23 eyes of 23 patients who had LASIK for spherical hyperopia (preoperative cylinder < or = 0.75 D) and 44 eyes of 44 patients who had LASIK for hyperopia with astigmatism; (Bausch & Lomb Hansatome microkeratome with a 180-microm plate and a suction ring for a 9.
