title: [Evaluation of visual function and changed quality of life among patients after excimer refractive surgery].
abstract: An anonymous wide-ranging questionnaire was forwarded to 60 patients (40 women and 20 men) who had a laser refractive surgery for myopia. The questionnaire was focused on 1. reasons for seeking a refractive surgery, 2. subjective complaints shortly after a surgery, 3. postoperative status: functionality, 4. satisfaction. The satisfaction with final outcome has reached 93% and that closely correlates to results of uncorrected VA (UCVA). However, some patients (17%) reported reduced vision under dim illumination and at night and also difficulty with nighttime driving.
