Abstract:

Laser refractive surgery, such as in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), has been shown to be affected by factors including eye movement and poor fixation, and cyclotorsional misalignment between the ablation beam and the eye has been linked to postoperative symptoms due to residual under correction. Refractive defects may be corrected via laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Astigmatism, an irregularity in the curvature of the eye that produces impaired distant and near vision, is rather common and can usually be corrected. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and evident refraction were the primary outcome measurements. Data from patients with myopia who had primary LASIK using the VISX STAR S4 CustomVue laser with or without Iris Registration technology was analyzed. There was a total of 130 eyes from 65 individuals that were myopic or myopic with astigmatism. Results from our research indicate that wavefront-guided LASIK using the VISX CustomVue technology is successful, safe, and predictable, regardless of iris registration status. In our research, we found that FEMTOLASIK, both with and without iris registration, was equally successful in treating myopia with and without astigmatism.
