摘要

Objective: To compare the changes in anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and anterior chamber angle (ACA) before and 6 months after femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia using the Pentacam HR device. @@@ Methods: A total of 24 eyes of 24 consecutive hyperopic patients undergoing femtosecond LASIK were examined preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Anterior chamber volume; ACDs in the central, superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal quadrants; and ACA were measured using the Pentacam HR device. Comparisons of preoperative versus postoperative values were performed using paired Student t test. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate correlations between ACV change, central ACD change, age, and attempted maximum ablation depth. @@@ Results: Preoperative and postoperative mean ACVs were 153.6 and 158.2 mu L, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative mean ACDs were 2.81, 2.28, 2.53, 2.16, and 2.61 mm, and 2.84, 2.31, 2.54, 2.16, and 2.65 mm, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative mean ACAs were 33.3 degrees and 32.0 degrees, respectively. There were not statistically significant differences in ACV, ACDs, and ACA from preoperatively to 6 months after femtosecond LASIK (all P>0.05). The change of central ACD was correlated significantly with age at 6 months postoperatively (R-2=0.18, P=0.039). @@@ Conclusions: Anterior chamber profiles, including ACV, ACA, and central and peripheral ACDs did not significantly change after femtosecond LASIK for hyperopia.
