Kosovo55 participantsStarted 2019-05-01

Plain-language summary

The refractive combination of high hyperopia with high astigmatism is difficult to treat surgically. In addition, there are not many suitable options to offer such patients presenting with this condition. The method used at the EYE Hospital Pristina using fresh lenticule implantation by ReLex-SMILE is safe and effective method. Fresh Corneal Implantation is a safe treatment for hyperopia with high astigmatism comparing with refractive IOL implantation (loss of accommodation, endophthalmitis). Its primary objective is to increase visual acuity, accommodation process, patient satisfaction which makes patient to enjoy a happier life. We believe this study will be the future of refractive surgery for treating high hyperopia.
