ABSTRACT
Objetive: to determinate the results of Excímer laser assisted “in situ” keratomileusis (LASIK)in the correction of myopic astigmatism.Methods: a descriptive, retrospective study of the results was performed after surgery LASIK in 73 patients with myopic astigmatism. The variables were: age, sex, pre and postoperative visual acuity without correction, spherical equivalent, intraoperative complications, postoperative immediate and late complications. Significant changes were observed in all the variables studied tending to emmetropia and 92.3 %.
Results: with the use of this surgical technique the corrected previous visual acuity remained and not serious or irreversible complications were detected.
Conclusions: Lasik is a safe and useful technique for the correction of myopic astigmatism that improves visual acuity.
