Summary

Wavefront-guided LASIK accurately corrects low to moderate myopia. Higher myopia levels may experience over- or undercorrections, with visual acuity stabilizing quickly post-procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Corneal Surgery

Background:

  • Wavefront-guided LASIK offers customized corneal treatments.
  • Utilizes computer ablation profiles to correct refractive errors and aberrations.
  • Treatments can address spherical and cylindrical refractive errors up to the fifth order.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the predictability, efficacy, stability, and safety of wavefront-guided LASIK.
  • Assess outcomes for patients undergoing refractive correction.
  • Analyze refractive results and visual acuity changes post-procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Performed wavefront-guided LASIK on 62 patients using the Keracor 217 Z.
  • Treated patients with an average spherical equivalent of -6.11 +/- 2.29 D.
  • Collected and evaluated data for 3 months postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • Good predictability observed for myopia correction between -1 D and -6 D.
  • Over- and undercorrections of +/- 2 D occurred in 10% of procedures for myopia exceeding -7 D.
  • 3 months postoperatively, 53% achieved uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 0.8 or better, and 75% achieved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.8 or better.

Conclusions:

  • Wavefront technology accurately corrects low to moderate myopia.
  • Higher myopia degrees are associated with under- and overcorrections.
  • Refractive stability is achieved rapidly, though visual acuity may change up to 6 months postoperatively.
