Abstract
Aims The purpose of the study was to evaluate the functional gain visual outcome and patient satisfaction after LASIKMaterials and Methods The study included 150 patients 85 males and 65 females that underwent LASIK procedure for correction of refractive error and were followed up on first week first and third month postoperatively Visual acuity Schirmers test and contrast sensitivity were evaluated on each follow up The patients were asked to fill a questionnaire consisting of 14 questions scored as 0 1 and 2 for an unsatisfied satisfied and very satisfied patient respectively prior to surgery and on the last visit The patients were divided into three groups on the basis of the score obtained as Results In this study the UCVA in 986 of our patients was 2030 postoperatively The mean Schirmers I value was 1399 1530 in the right eye and 1401 1544 in the left eye while Schirmers II values were 1344 2128 and 1351 2351 in the right and left eye respectively at the end of 3 months Contrast sensitivity improved to a mean of 179 015 at three months Night driving complications reduced from a mean score of 159 029 to 058 005 postoperativelyConclusions High level of patient satisfaction can be attained with LASIK procedure Night vision problems and dry eye are imperative causes of dissatisfactionKeywords LASIK Patient satisfaction Refractive error
