LTK Patient Update

My first LTK patient came in today for his annual exam. I first examined him in June 1997. At that time he was a Hyperope with the following prescription data.

Right Eye(R.E.) +1.75 -.050 axis 110.
Left Eye(L.E.) +1.75 sphere.
Near Vision ADD...+2.00
Uncorrected Visual acuity was 20/70.

9/97......LTK performed L.E.
3/98......LTK performed R.E.

7/29/99......Refraction yielded:

R.E. Plano -.075 axis 105 (16 months post LTK)
L.E. +.075 -.075 axis 80 (22 months post LTK)
Near Vision ADD....+1.75
Uncorrected Visual acuity was 20/25!

Summary......

R.E. +1.75 diopters Distance & +0.25 diopters Near = +2.00 diopters less correction after 16 months LTK!

L.E.+1.75 diopters Distance(+0.75-0.75 axis 80 = effective plano) & +0.25 diopters Near = +2.00 diopters less correction after 22 months LTK!

Uncorrected Visual Acuity.........
20/70--->20/25 = 5 lines better on the chart. Glasses not needed to pass vision test at motor vehicle department!

Compare 16 months versus 22 months and you will notice virtual no change in refractive condition or "regression"! (No need for 24 month data!)

It's a shame the ODP was not educated on this wonderful procedure. Actually they neglected their duties and fiduciary responsibility to the public by not witnessing the LTK procedure and interviewing patients. The FDA should be embarrassed by their panel's shameful performance. It is now Sunrise's obligation to educate the FDA!
