INTRODUCTION: Laser Vision Correction is not always possible for the treatment of
myopia. The aim of this paper is to present results after MyoRing implantation in
myopic eyes who in their majority were not eligible for LVC. Safety, effectivity
and patient selection is discussed. The aim of the treatment was to be spectacle
independent in everyday-life. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 19 myopic eyes of 12
patients ranging from -2.25 to -16.5 dioptres (D) in sphere and from 0 to -4D in
cylinder were analyzed. RESULTS: After treatment, 84% of the eyes reached
uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 0.5 or better, 42% reached UDVA of
0.8 or better and 16% reached UDVA of 1.0 or better. Before treatment, no eye
reached UDVA of 0.5 or better. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA)
preoperatively and postoperatively did not differ. The treatment changed the
average spherical equivalent from -10.27D to -0.93D. Efficacy index was 0.76 and
safety index was 1.02. CONCLUSION: MyoRing implantation for myopia is safe and
effective with highly satisfied patents in a particular subgroup of myopic
patients. Patient selection is important.
