研究目的
To compare the postoperative one-year outcomes of asphericity (Q) and high order aberration (HOA) values of 9.0 and 9.2 mm diameter flap groups in hypermetropia and hypermetropic astigmatism subjects who underwent femtosecond laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
研究成果
Both the 9.0 and 9.2 mm diameter flap options in femtosecond LASIK are equally safe and effective. Many of the HOA values are similar in both options, and better results were provided in terms of total HOA and Q values with the 9.2 mm diameter flap option.
研究不足
The Topolyzer system evaluates in the 6.0-mm-diameter central area of the cornea and does not measure the areas between 6.0 and 9.0 mm or 6.0 and 9.2 mm. Therefore, the system provides limited information about the corneal topographic evaluation. There was no investigation of the clinical importance of the statistically significant different results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study was a nonrandomized, comparative study conducted between January 2016 and June
2:A femtosecond laser platform was used for flap cutting, and corneal stroma was ablated using Wavelight EX500 with wavefront-optimized profile. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
20 The study included 68 eyes of 34 patients who underwent femtosecond LASIK. Inclusion criteria included ages between 18 and 46 years, positive spherical refractive error <6 diopter (D) and cylindrical refractive error <4 D, stable refractive error for the previous year, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥
3:00 log MAR. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Allegrato Wave laser platform (Wavelight AG, Erlangen, Germany), Wavelight EX500 excimer laser (WaveLight GmbH, Erlangen, Germany), WaveLight?Oculyzer II (Pentacam, Germany), Placido-based Allegrato Topolyzer (version
4:59, Alcon Laboratories, Inc). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
All surgeries were performed by a single experienced refractive surgeon. Topical anesthesia was applied, and the right eye was operated on first. The Allegrato Wave laser platform was used to create a flap thickness of 120 μm with a 70° angled side cut. One of the
5:0 mm and 2 mm flap diameters were determined randomly for one eye, and the other diameter was then applied to the fellow eye of each subject. Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 24.0 software. Descriptive statistics were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The non-parametric tests were used in analysis as the numerical data did not conform to normal distribution.
