The effect of Lasik surgery on myopic anisometropes’ sensory eye dominance
Abstract Lasik is a common surgery for treating anisometropia. In this study, we asked a specific question: what’s the effect of Lasik surgery on anisometropes’ sensory eye dominance ? Fifteen myopic anisometropes (mean age: 23 ± 6.9 years old; 6 females) participated in our experiment. We quantitat...
