Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using customized ablations for asymmetrical astigmatism showed encouraging results. This advanced corneal topography-assisted treatment improved visual acuity in both myopic and hyperopic patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Corneal Topography

Background:

  • Asymmetrical astigmatism presents unique challenges in refractive surgery.
  • Customized ablation profiles are essential for optimizing outcomes in complex corneal cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using customized ablations guided by corneal topography.
  • To assess outcomes in patients with asymmetrical corneas undergoing refractive correction.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 23 cases (17 myopia, 6 hyperopia) with asymmetrical corneas.
  • Preoperative and postoperative measurements included visual acuity, spherical equivalent (SE), cylinder change, keratometry, and corneal topography.

Main Results:

  • Myopic cases: Mean SE improved from -4.92 D to -0.38 D.
  • Hyperopic cases: Mean SE improved from +3.54 D to +0.33 D.
  • Evaluated cylinder vectorial change and visual acuity shifts in both groups.

Conclusions:

  • Corneal-topography-assisted customized ablations yielded encouraging results for asymmetrical astigmatism.
  • Algorithm modifications may further enhance treatment efficacy.
