摘要：Purpose
To investigate long-term satisfaction and quality of life after myopic laser refractive surgery.
Methods
This study included 231 myopic patients who underwent laser refractive surgery (LASIK, LASEK or PRK) at least five years prior, between 2002 and 2005, at 5 hospitals. Using a telephone survey, patients were asked to subjectively answer 26 questions regarding satisfaction, quality of life changes, and visual symptoms.
Results
The mean patient satisfaction score was 8.12 (scale of 1 to 10). Improvement in quality of life was reported by 91% of the subjects. Intention to have surgery again was reported by 87.9% of the subjects and intention to recommend refractive surgery to a friend or family was reported by 80.5% of the subjects. The most common discomfort symptoms after myopic laser refractive surgery were dry eye symptoms (57.1%), followed by night vision disturbances (54.3%).
Conclusions
Long-term satisfaction and quality of life were shown to be positive in patients treated with myopic refractive surgery.
