Abstract

Background: Laser in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is a prevalent refractive surgery used to
correct myopic patients' vision. After identification of night vision complaints after LASIK, the need
for a more accurate evaluation of patient satisfaction after LASIK has elevated. The study aimed
to determine subjective patient satisfaction after LASIK surgery. Methods: This cross-sectional
study was carried out on 100 patients, aged from 20 to 40 years old, both sexes undergoing LASIK
surgery. Patient satisfaction evaluated through questionnaire with fourteen questions. Results:
After LASIK, 2% of patients were totally unsatisfied, 12% of patients had mild unsatisfaction,
26% of patients were neutral, 26% of patients were mild satisfaction, and 34% of patients were
totally satisfied. Postoperative glare scale score and vision scale score were significantly lower
in totally satisfaction than in mild satisfaction. There was a negative correlation between satisfaction
and (age and previous glasses). There was positive correlation between satisfaction and sex.
Conclusions: LASIK satisfaction was affected by age, sex, and residence place, however, the
degree of myopia, history of glasses use, or occupation didn't affect satisfaction. The age showed
a nuanced relation with satisfaction levels, suggesting that younger patients might be more likely
to experience higher satisfaction. The almost equal sex distribution and a significant urban
population
