AB  - PURPOSE: To study self-reported patient satisfaction and dry eye symptoms in 
      hyperopic correction with femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis 
      (FS-LASIK). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-eight eyes (53 patients) were treated 
      with FS-LASIK for hyperopia. Patients' self-reported dry eye symptoms and 
      satisfaction with near and far vision were graded on the visual analog scale 
      (VAS) preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. RESULTS: Ninety-one percent of 
      the eyes with the plano target (54 eyes) achieved an uncorrected distance visual 
      acuity of 20/20 or better. Predictability, defined as spherical equivalent 
      refraction within +/-0.5 D of target, was 88% of all eyes. None of the eyes lost 
      two or more Snellen lines of corrected distance visual acuity. There was no 
      significant change in the self-reported dry eye sensation (VAS score from 2.7+/-2.0 
      to 2.8+/-2.0; P=0.66). In 44 monovision patients, satisfaction with both far vision 
      (from 71.2+/-19.8 to 89.2+/-8.7; P<0.0001) and near vision (from 51.7+/-26.2 to 
      89.3+/-13.2; P<0.0001) increased significantly. In nine emmetropic patients, 
      satisfaction with neither far vision nor near vision was significantly improved, 
      although there was a clear tendency (from 73.7+/-23.7 to 86.9+/-15.3; P=0.22, and 
      from 58.9+/-29.1 to 81.6+/-17.4; P=0.11, respectively). In the monovision patient 
      group, far vision satisfaction decreased when dry eye symptoms increased. 
      Monovision patients, as predicted, were more satisfied with their near vision, 
      when postoperative spherical equivalent from target was on the myopic side. 
      CONCLUSION: FS-LASIK correction of hyperopia significantly improved patient 
      satisfaction with both near and far vision in monovision patients. Hyperopic 
      patients had no significant changes in postoperative dry eye symptoms compared to 
      preoperative values.
