Purpose:
To assess the visual results obtained when treating myopic and myopic astigmatic patients using a corneal wavefront ablation pattern. The treatment pattern was based on the Scout placido topography system and performed by the new Schwind Amaris 750S excimer laser under a flap created by the Ziemer LDV CristalLine femtosecond laser
Setting:
Brussels Eye Doctors, Private practice, Brussels, Belgium
Methods:
Retrospective study involving 330 virgin eyes, that were treated to correct their myopia and myopic astigmatism, using a corneal wavefront ablation pattern. A follow-up was made of BCVA, UCVA, refraction, per-and post-operative data and topography.
Results:
250 out of 330 eyes were available for follow up at 2 months. In 91% of the eyes an UCVA of 0.8 or better was obtained, in 92 % of the eyes the residual spherical equivalent was within ± 0.5 Dioptre. For so far safety is concerned 15 eyes lost 2 lines or more, essentially due to dryness. Post-op topography showed regular and large ablation zones in most eyes.
Conclusions:
Treating myopic and myopic astigmatic patients using corneal wavefront guided treatments by the new Schwind Amaris 750S excimer laser resulted in excellent visual results with a high predictability as to the refractive outcome. Patient and surgeon satisfaction was high. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
