Visual outcome in hypermetropic eye post-refractive surgery: retrospective cohort study
Refractive surgery significantly improved visual outcomes in hypermetropic patients. Dry eye was the predominant complication, with higher rates found in females and patients who underwent photo-refractive keratectomy. Studies with extended follow-up are needed to evaluate the long-term complications and sustained efficacy of refractive surgery in hypermetropic patients.
