Objectives. To determine if hyperopia is a risk factor for primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in the Dutch population and to identify other biometrical parameters as risk factors for PACG including axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and k values. Methods. The study population consisted of PACG patients that had undergone a laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). The control group con...

PURPOSE To investigate the association between ocular biometrics such as axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous chamber depth (VCD) and corneal power (CP) with different refractive errors. METHODS In a cross-sectional study on the 40 to 64-year-old population of Shahroud, random cluster sampling was performed. Ocular biometrics were measured using the A...

INTRODUCTION Laser vision correction for hyperopia is challenging. The purpose of the study was to assess the refractive outcomes of femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopic correction using wavefront-optimized ablation profiles. METHODS This retrospective case series study included 20 Egyptian patients (40 eyes) with hyperopia or hyperopic astigmatism with a me...

BACKGROUND This study determined the importance of including tests for refractive errors in vision screening. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we performed a random cluster sampling of schoolchildren in the city of Dezful, Iran. After sampling and obtaining informed written consents from their parents, children underwent examinations at the school sites. Students underwent tests of visu...

PURPOSE To evaluate the data on the safety, effectiveness, and stability of conductive keratoplasty (CK), a thermal, radiofrequency-based technique for treating 0.75 to 3.00 diopters (D) of spherical hyperopia. METHODS A prospective, consecutive series, multicenter clinical trial involving 400 hyperopic eyes was conducted by 19 surgeons at 12 centers. The treatment goal was emmetropia. Cohort...
