RESUMEN
Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo de los 264 pacientes operados de astigmatismo miópico mediante LASIK en el Centro Oftalmológico del Hospital General Docente Enrique Cabrera de La Habana, durante el 2009, con vistas a caracterizarles luego del tratamiento quirúrgico. En la casuística primaron el sexo femenino (61,7 por ciento) y el grupo etario de 20-30 años (41,3 por ciento), así como la agudeza visual preoperatoria de cuenta dedos a 0,2 (62,8 por ciento) y la posoperatoria de 0,6 a 1,0 (98,1 por ciento). Después de aplicada la terapéutica, la esfera disminuyó en 95,0 por ciento de los integrantes de la serie a valores entre 0,00 y -1,00 dioptrías y el cilindro, en 98,7 por ciento, con medidas inferiores a -1,50 dioptrías. Los valores queratométricos de 41,25 a 43,00 dioptrías estuvieron presentes en 72,1 por ciento de los afectados y el equivalente esférico mostró un acercamiento sustancial a la emetropía en 82,3 por ciento de las intervenciones, con un intervalo entre -1,00 y 0,00 dioptrías(AU)
ABSTRACT
A descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study was carried out in 264 patients operated on myopic astigmatism by means of LASIK at Enrique Cabrera General Teaching Hospital from Havana, during 2009, in order to characterize them after surgical treatment. Female sex (61.7 percent) and age group between 20 and 30 years (41.3 percent) prevailed in the case material, as well as preoperative and postoperative visual acuity of counting fingers of 0.2 (62.8 percent) and 0.6 to 1.0 (98.1 percent) respectively. After the treatment have been applied, in 95.0 percent of patients from the series the sphere decreased to values between 0.00 and -1.00 diopters, and the cylinder, in 98.7 percent, measuring less than -1.50 diopters. Keratometric values from 41.25 to 43.00 diopters were present in 72.1 percent of those affected and the spherical equivalent showed a substantial approach to emmetropia in 82.3 percent of the surgeries, with a range between -1,00 and 0,00 diopters(AU)
