| Beschreibung: | The purpose of this retrospective pseudonymised data analysis was to determine whether the patient’s age has an influence on the safety, efficacy, and prediction accuracy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatment of myopic and hyperopic eyes. This study was performed at CARE Vision GmbH (Düsseldorf, Germany) and included two patient cohorts: an older group with patients > 55 years old and a younger group with patients 30–40 years old. Each patient had a single LASIK treatment. The safety, efficacy, and prediction accuracy of the refractive results were analysed. In total, 682 patients were analysed, with 341 patients in each patient group (one eye per patient). There were 570 myopic eyes and 112 hyperopic eyes. In myopic eyes, the efficacy was significantly influenced by the patient’s age but only in myopic eyes (myopic: p ≤ 0.05; hyperopic: p = 0.085), while safety was not significantly influenced by the patient’s age in hyperopic or myopic eyes (p = 0.204). We found that LASIK treatment at an older age (> 55 years) resulted in almost the same safety outcomes as a LASIK treatment at a younger age (30–40 years) but with a lower efficacy; the efficacy correlated with the patient’s age. If the patient was hyperopic, their age did not influence safety or efficacy. | |||||||
