ABSTRACT

Introduction: Vision is one of the most necessary senses for the psico-social development of the human being, when is affected, it generates social and personal difficulties in a person. In the consultation of Corneal Refractive Surgery from Ciego de Avila Ophthalmological Center an appreciable incidence of adult patients with refractive amblyopia has been verified. Method: This study is carried out on the results obtained starting from the surgical correction with Laser Excimer of the refractive defect.Technical LASIK was applied in all the patients in the corneal surgery service with Excímer Laser.The sample was composed by operated patients with amblyopia of refractive cause, to which a total of 86 surgeries was carried out to them. Results: It is verified that those patients who didn't use refractive correction in the childhood were those of more incidence in the study, as well as those that suffer of anisometropic amblyopia and those who are younger. The composed myopic astigmatism was the predominant refractive defect in the studied patients. In the postoperative it was obtained a satisfactory evolution of visual acuity without correction and best corrected visual acuity. Conclusions: The refractive correction with Laser can reach to be an alternative treatment for these patients, providing an appropriate labor Performance, as well as an increment of the quality of life.
