[Abstract] Objective To observe and compare the correlation between subjective visual perception and visual quality examination of patients after superficial LASEK and stromal LASIK and femtosecond LASIK refractive surgery of the cornea. Methods Retrospective analysis. 160 patients (320 eyes) who underwent excimer laser treatment and were followed up for more than 1 year, 40 patients underwent superficial LASEK and 60 patients each underwent stromal LASIK and femtosecond LASIK. the mean preoperative equivalent spherical lens degree (SE) was -4.35±1.07 D in the LASEK group; the mean SE was -5.15±1.13 D in the LASIK group. The mean SE-mean in the femtosecond LASIK group was -5.57±1.23 D. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative examinations of naked visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), spherical and columnar lens degrees, SE, and overall postoperative evaluation, visual quality and visual symptoms at the time of postoperative and preoperative best corrected visual acuity were performed by ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test. Results The scores of ease of daytime and nighttime driving, ease of living, daytime distance vision, nighttime vision, and overall visual acuity more than 1 year after surgery were in descending order for the femtosecond LASIK, LASEK, and LASIK groups (ANOVA, F=4.474, all P<0.05). Compared with preoperative lens wear, daytime distance vision and ease of living were the most significant items that patients considered better than preoperative; glare and decreased quality of night vision were the most important complaints; visual near object fatigue, night driving glare, and night vision scores were the worst, and night vision symptoms improved significantly over time, but visual fatigue worsened over time. Women had the most complaints of near-object fatigue, and men had the most complaints of poor night vision. Conclusion The quality of vision scores of patients after excimer surgery were higher in the femtosecond LASIK group than in the LASEK and LASIK groups. Visual near-object fatigue and poor night vision were long-term problems after surgery.
