PATIENT SATISFACTION AFTER LASER IN SITU KERATOMILEUSIS IN MYOPIC PATIENTS
Ophthalmology dept., Faculty of Medicine, Sohag, Univ., Egypt
Abstract
Background: Laser in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a prevalent refractive surgery used to correct myopic patients' vision. After identification of night vision complaints after LASIK, the need for a more accurate evaluation of patient satisfaction after LASIK has elevated. The study aimed to determine subjective patient satisfaction after LASIK surgery. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 patients, aged from 20 to 40 years old, both sexes undergoing LASIK surgery. Patient satisfaction evaluated through questionnaire with fourteen questions. Results: After LASIK, 2% of patients were totally unsatisfied, 12% of patients had mild unsatisfaction, 26% of patients were neutral, 26% of patients were mild satisfaction, and 34% of patients were totally satisfied. Postoperative glare scale score and vision scale score were significantly lower in totally satisfaction than in mild satisfaction. There was a negative correlation between satisfaction and (age and previous glasses). There was positive correlation between satisfaction and sex. Conclusions: LASIK satisfaction was affected by age, sex, and residence place, however, the degree of myopia, history of glasses use, or occupation didn’t affect satisfaction. The age showed a nuanced relation with satisfaction levels, suggesting that younger patients might be more likely to experience higher satisfaction. The almost equal sex distribution and a significant urban population
