Incidence and Risk Factors of Accommodative Spasms After LASIK for Hyperopia Correction
Twenty percent of patients develop an accommodative spasm after hyperopic LASIK treatment at 3 months after surgery. However, 75% of those spasms resolve between 6 and 12 months after surgery, by either performing vision therapy or simply observing the patient without specific treatment. Uncorrected preoperatively latent hyperopia greater than +1.25 diopters was associated with postoperative accommodative spasm in this cohort.
