Refractive Surgery for Hyperopia
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 2000ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy, stability, and predictability of refractive surgery for hyperopia using four different procedures: photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), implantation of a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), and removing the transparent lens with IOL implantation.

Hyperopia of 1.00, 1.50, and 2.00 D was induced in 42 subjects by means of concave lenses. A significant decrease in performance on a standard intelligence test occurred with the highest-power lenses. Symptoms induced indicate that the results are applicable to hyperopia. Prescriptions and vision screening criteria for hyperopia are indicated.

Surgical Correction of Hyperopia
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2006Surgical attempts to correct hyperopia have yielded varying results over the last 130 years. These techniques include the reshaping of the cornea through incisions, burns, or lamellar cuts with removal of peripheral tissue; the addition of central inlays; laser ablations; and the replacement of the crystalline lens.

Epikeratophakia for the treatment of hyperopia
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1989Nordan epikeratophakia technique (NET) is described for the treatment of hyperopia and the results in eight eyes are reported (mean = +5.09 +/- 0.85 diopters preoperatively and -2.09 +/- 1.22 diopters postoperatively). The Nordan epikeratophakia technique is a modification of Kaufman-McDonald epikeratophakia with advantages that are described. Data are

Lamellar Keratoplasty for Hyperopia
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1996ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Lamellar keratoplasty for hyperopia (automated lamellar keratoplasty for hyperopia) can correct hyperopia by weakening the cornea with a deep lamellar resection. The safety and efficacy of the procedure is uncertain. METHODS: Twenty-four eyes of 17 patients underwent hyperopic lamellar keratoplasty using the ...

The management of childhood esotropia with hyperopia
Current Medical Research and Opinion, 2011Esotropia, especially accommodative estropia (AE), is often seen in patients with hyperopia. In this paper, the authors aim to report the management methods of different types of esotropia in children with hypermetropia and to show the feasibility and efficacy of prismatic correction in the management of small angle of residual esotropia in ...
