Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate changes in central and peripheral refraction along the horizontal visual fields in myopic corneal refractive surgery group compared with emmetropes. Methods: One hundred twenty eyes of 60 subjects ($23.56{\pm}2.54$ years, range: 20 to 29) who underwent myopic refractive surgery and 40 eyes of 20 emmetropes ($22.50{\pm}1.74$ years, range: 20 to 25) were enrolled. The central and peripheral refractions were measured along the horizontal meridianat $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal and temporal areas using an open-field autorefractor. For analysis of post-op group, the group was classified by pre-op spherical equivalents of < -6.00 D and ${\geq}-6.00D$ as two post-op groups. Results: Pre-op spherical equivalent was $-4.56{\pm}0.92D$ (rang: -2.50 to -5.58 D) in post-op group 1, and $-7.09{\pm}0.96D$ (rang: -6.00 to -9.00 D) in post-op group 2. Spherical equivalent (M) in the emmetropes ranged from $-0.20{\pm}0.22D$ at center to $-0.64{\pm}0.83D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field and to $-0.20{\pm}0.67D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal visual field; M in post-op group 1 ranged from $-0.16{\pm}0.29D$ at center to $-5.29{\pm}1.82D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field and to $-4.48{\pm}1.88D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal visual field; M in post-op group 2 ranged from $-0.20{\pm}0.32D$ at center to $-7.98{\pm}2.08D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field and to $-7.90{\pm}2.26D$ at $25^{\circ}$ in the nasal visual field. Among the three groups, there was no significant difference in M at central visual field (p=0.600) and at $5^{\circ}$ in the temporal visual field (p=0.647), whereas, there was significant difference in M at paracentral and peripheral visual field (p=0.000). Conclusions: Emmetropes had relatively constant refractive errors throughout the central and peripheral visual field and showed myopic peripheral defocus along the horizontal visual field. On the other hand, in myopic corneal refractive surgery group, there were significant differences in refractive errors between the central and peripheral visual field compared with differences in the central and peripheral refraction patterns of emmetropes.
