CORTES AMADOR, José Alberto et al. Effect of hexagonal keratotomy on accomodation in primary hypermetropies. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2000, vol.13, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

A prospective study was performed in 71 operated eyes in 44 patients presenting with presbyopia and primary hypermetropy underwent to hexagonal keratotomy technique, to analyse behaviour in amplitude of accomodation, measured using sphere method. Data were processed by statistical tests. Results allow us conclude that surgery decreases spheric component of frection, which means that patients improve their visual acuity (VA). We verify what cause decrease in amplitude of accomodation, which is the quantitative indicator of accomodation relaxation, an manifested as a sign of improved visual function.
