LASIK for hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism--results of a pilot study.
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was evaluated in hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism. LASIK was safe and effective in spherical hyperopia up to +5 D and acceptable in toric hyperopia up to +5 D but results were poor in hyperopia of more than +5 D.
