Abstract
To assess the safety and effectiveness of wavefront guided LASIK surgery using the Visx WaveScan system for correction of low to moderate myopia with astigmatism. Multicenter study at 6 sites in the United States. In this prospective nonrandomized clinical trial, treatments were performed at 6 sites in the United States using the WaveScan (CustomVue) guided excimer laser. A total of 351 eyes were enrolled, and 277 eyes were analyzed at 6 months. At 6 months, 94% of eyes achieved an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better and 74% achieved a UCVA of 20/16 or better. Sixty-nine percent of eyes had the same or better postoperative UCVA than their preoperative best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA). Ninety percent of eyes were within +/-0.5 diopter of intended correction. No eye lost more than 1 line of BSCVA. Total higher-order root-mean square (RMS), coma, and spherical aberration values were stable (P<.05). The data support the safety and effectiveness of the WaveScan-guided customized laser ablation using the Visx Star S4 system for correction of low to moderate myopia with astigmatism.Keywords
