AIM: To investigate curative effects of excimer laser corneal refractive surgery for adults or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia.

METHODS: From March 2014 to March 2016, we selected 26 cases 26 eyes of adults or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia in our hospital. All eyes underwent laser in situ keratomileusis, observed for the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), diopter and stereopsis.

RESULTS: At the end of the follow-up, the patient's spherical equivalent and anisometropia were 1.47±0.51D and 1.15±0.22D, were significantly lower than that before operation(P<0.05). At the end of the follow-up, the distance and near UCVA and BCVA were 0.26±0.13 and 0.23±0.09, 0.42±0.09 and 0.31±0.16, which were significantly higher than those before operation(P<0.05). At the end of follow-up, the visual function of the patients was significantly improved(P<0.05), the rate of postoperative visual function < 100" eyes was 23%.

CONCLUSION: In adult or older adolescent with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia, excimer laser corneal refractive surgery has a certain effect.
