ABSTRACT

Objective: to describe the results of refractive surgery in Villa Clara province. Method: a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was conducted in a total of 145 eyes of patients who were seen at the doctor’s office in order to be operated on for a refractive error. Results: a total of 111 eyes were operated on with LASIK and 34 with LASEK. There was a predominance of female patients between 20 and 29 years of age. The most common refractive error was compound myopic astigmatism. The visual results to the present are significant because the patients have achieved a visual acuity without optical correction between 0.8 and 1.0. Conclusions: the implementation of refractive surgery in Villa Clara has had encouraging results.
