The surgical correction of moderate hypermetropia: the management controversy

Abstract

onsiderable debate still surrounds the best management of hypermetropia and to explore the options in this communication a hypothetical patient is considered at two different ages with identical refraction. Four experienced ophthalmic surgeons (CMcG, TK, ML, and AB) who have undertaken cornea and refractive surgery fellowships and have a combined experience of more than 10 000 refractive surgical procedures were asked to consider the best options for this hypothetical subject, aided by contributions from two fellows (SO, IC).
