Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes of a new procedure of topo-integrated wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in eyes with myopic astigmatism.

Setting:

Optilase Eye Clinic, Dublin, Ireland and Department of Optics, Pharmacology and Anatomy of the University of Alicante

Methods:

Seventy-six eyes of 38 subjects (age range, 19 to 49 years) with a mean myopic were included having wavefront-guided LASIK with a mean spherical equivalent of -3.75 ± 1.05 D (range, -1.50 to -8.12 D) were included. All eyes underwent topo-integrated wavefront-guided LASIK using the IntraLase FS femtosecond laser and the Star S4 IR excimer laser (Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision). All treatment were planned using the iDesign System (Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision). Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up

Results:

All eyes achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/25 or better, with 88% of eyes achieving 20/15 3-month postoperative UDVA. Mean postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) was 0.12±0.29 D. A total of 88% and 100% of eyes had a postoperative SE within ±0.50 and 1.00 D, respectively. No losses of lines of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were found, whereas 14% of eyes gained 1 line of CDVA. The percentages of eyes with CDVA of 20/15 and 20/12 or better were 96% and 15%, respectively

Conclusions:

Topo-integrated wavefront-guided LASIK is a safe and highly effective surgical procedure for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism
