Purpose: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the non-contact holmium:YAG laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK) for the treatment of mild to moderate hyperopia without astigmatism.
Methods: A prospective, non-comparative case series included 50 eyes of 28 patients (aged > or =40 years) who had stable refraction and an astigmatic component < +0.50 diopters (D).
