Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), CDVA, spherical equivalent (SE), postoperative astigmatism, and intraocular pressure were evaluated at time points of 1, 6, and 12 months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n \n Patients were divided into two groups according to refractive error. Group 1: Forty-six patients with myopia and Group 2: Fifty-seven patients with hyperopia. Mean CDVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]) preoperatively was 0.23 \u00b1 0.16 in Group 1 and 0.40 \u00b1 0.19 in Group 2. Postoperative CDVA (logMAR) was 0.17 \u00b1 0.13 in Group 1 and 0.32 \u00b1 0.17 in Group 2. There was statistically significant increase in UDVA (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001) postoperatively and no change during the follow-up period of 12 months in both groups. Group 1 showed more expectable results, 95% of variability SE achieved was dependent on SE intended (\n R2 =<\/jats:italic>\n 0.95), while in Group 2, the percentage was slightly lower of expected 87% (\n R2 =<\/jats:italic>\n 0.87). There was statistical significance in respect of CDVA change postoperatively and preoperatively in both groups. Correlation factors are low, in Group 1\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = \u22120.53 and in Group 2\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = \u22120.39.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n LASIK can improve CDVA in a considerable portion of amblyopic eyes, both myopic and hyperopic. Eyes with better initial CDVA and those with myopia were associated with greater improvement in postoperative CDVA.<\/jats:p>\n
