PURPOSE：To measure quality of life(QOL)outcome in myopic patients having LASIK surgery using the the Reforming-Translating Quality of Life Impact of Refractive Correction(Chinese version QIRC)questionnaire and measures self-reported satisfaction(S)with refractive error.

METHODS：The QIRC was completed by 115 consecutive patients treated by LASIK.Information on refraction，uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity was obtained from physicians records.

RESULTS：Overall QOL improved after LASIK from a Mean±SD of 39.15±4.23 to 41.78±4.76(t1，114=-4.63，P<0.001).Specially，12 of the 20 subscales showed significantly improved scores(P<0.05).Greater improvements S occurred in mild myopia than severe myopia（F(1，115)=1.48，P=0.03）.Postoperative people’s satisfaction(S)was more associated with QOL than with changes of refractive error or with visual acuity.

CONCLUSIONS：Large improvements in QOL outcome and S were found after LASIK for myopia in the majority of patients，with greater improvements in mild myopia.
