None of the authors has a financial interest on the presented data.
PurposeRetrospective study of 17 patients (25 eyes)
who under came premium IOL implantation since 2007 and consequently a laser correction (PRK) of the residual refractive error (cylindrical and spherical).
Change in the refractive error (Dsf and Dcyl) and uncorrected visual acuity was compared with the results of the patient satisfaction survey.

senile cataract, 1 patient with the traumatic cataractAll laser corrections were performed on VISX STAR S4
IR.ASCRS Boston 2010
Methods: Prior the premium IOL
implantation and laser treatment BCVA and autorefractometry measurements were performed. Both anterior and posterior segment were evaluated.
Standard cataract / RLE surgery was performed-Infinity phaco, incision 2,2mm, one surgeon, in the case of the higher astigmatism incision in the K max, no relaxation incisions.
Patients were treated with VISX Star S4 IR and PRK method.
Uncorrected visual acuity and autorefractometry measurements were performed 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
Satisfaction was evaluated with a questionnaire. Patients were asked about their vision, night vision problems, overall satisfaction, eye dryness problems, if they would undertake the procedure once again and if they would recommend it to their friend. Patients were asked to list advantages and disadvantages of the procedure.

Patient satisfaction survey I.Has your vision improved after the laser enhancement?
Do you need to wear glasses after the laser enhancement?

How would you evaluate your night vision?

Patient satisfaction survey V. What kind of advantages and disadvantages did the laser enhancement brought to you?Advantages Disadvantages
No need for glassesHeadache reductionFreedom in sport
activities
Pain, unpleasant feelingsProlonged recovery, as well
as ability to return completely to working process
Dry eye syndromeDelayed ability to focus,
longer reaction timeAdditional costs

Comparison of possible astigmatism correction means
ASCRS Boston 2010
ConclusionBIOPTICS seems to be safe and
undepreciated alternative to the other astigmatic correction means (glasses, toric contact lenses, astigmatic keratotomy and the toric IOL implantation).
Patient satisfaction is high.
Final vision quality is influenced by the preoperative functional properties of the eye.
