[Excimer laser refractive surgery].
The authors report their results of refractive surgery with Excimer Laser Panama (Technolas unit) on 711 eyes with refractive errors. An uncorrected visual acuity of 20/30 or better was obtained in 98.9% of myopic patients. In hypermetropic patients they obtained a visual acuity of 20/40 or better in 95.9%. In 94.7% of astigmatics an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/30 or better was achieved. The patients did not complain of disturbances common after other refractive procedures, such as bright radiant spots, blinding glare of fluctuating vision. Secondary effects were minimal and patient satisfaction was very high.
