Abstract
Laser vision correction (LVC) is the removal of refractive errors, by changing the geometry of the cornea. It doesn’t directly affect binocular vision. However, the condition of the patient’s binocular vision is a very important. That affects the quality of life, which also indirectly translates into the patient’s satisfaction with the LVC procedure. Based on the presented cases, this article proves how important it is to examine binocular vision before laser vision correction. The influence of the prismatic effect of spectacle lenses on the control of binocular vision and the risk of strabismus decompensation, which
is most often associated with double vision. The described cases are people with problems with binocular vision. The article includes methods of treatment (contact lens test, vision therapy) to check and eliminate the above-mentioned problem.
