Abstract
PURPOSE To discuss factors influencing corneal aberrations that might influence the optical quality after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS PubMed and Scopus were the main resources used to search the medical literature. An extensive search was performed to identify relevant articles concerning factors influencing the level of corneal aberrations as of August 27, 2023. The following keywords were used in various combinations: corneal, aberrations, defocus, astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma, trefoil, quadrafoil, intraocular lens, and IOL. RESULTS Conclusive evidence is lacking regarding the correlation between age and changes in corneal aberrations. Patients with astigmatism have greater corneal higher-order aberrations than those with minimal astigmatism, particularly concerning trefoil and coma. Increased levels of corneal higher-order aberrations are noted following contact lens wear, in patients with dry eye disease, and with pterygium. Increased higher-order aberrations have been reported following corneal refractive surgery and for 3 months following trabeculectomy; regarding intraocular lens surgery, the results remain controversial. CONCLUSIONS Several factors influence the level of corneal higher-order aberrations. Multifocal and extended depth-of-focus IOLs can share similarities in their optical properties, and the main difference arises in their design and performance with respect to spherical aberration. Preoperative evaluation is critical for proper IOL choice, particularly in corneas with risk of high levels of aberrations. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(6):e420-e434.].

Abstract
Visual rehabilitation in keratoconus is a challenge, notably because of the significant irregular astigmatism and optical aberrations that it induces. Many surgical techniques have been developed in addition to, or in the case of failure of, spectacles and rigid gas permeable contact lenses: intracorneal ring segments, intraocular lenses, excimer laser and, as a last resort, keratoplasty. Excimer laser photoablates the cornea, allowing remodeling of its surface. There are various treatment modes (wavefront-optimized, wavefront-guided and topography-guided), allowing performance of a customized treatment if needed. Its use in keratoconus has been described since the 2000s, alone or in combination with other procedures. For example, the combination of photoablation and corneal cross linking, a technique that increases corneal rigidity and in so doing can slow or even stop the progression of keratoconus, proved its efficacy and safety in many studies, and various protocols have been described. A triple procedure, including intracorneal ring segments, excimer laser and cross linking, has also given some very promising results in progressive keratoconus, providing a significative improvement in visual acuity and topographic data. The combination of excimer laser and intraocular lenses remains a poorly explored lead that might provide some satisfactory results. The objective of this review is to summarize the recent data on excimer laser in keratoconus management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractive errors (conditions in which the eye fails to focus objects accurately on the retina due to defects in the refractive system), are the most common cause of visual impairment. Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are low-order aberrations, usually corrected with spectacles, contact lenses, or conventional refractive surgery. Higher-order aberrations (HOAs) can be quantified with wavefront aberration instruments and corrected using wavefront-guided or wavefront-optimized laser surgery. Wavefront-guided ablations are based on preoperative measurements of HOAs; wavefront-optimized ablations are designed to minimize induction of new HOAs while preserving naturally occurring aberrations. Two wavefront procedures are expected to produce better visual acuity than conventional procedures. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to compare effectiveness and safety of wavefront procedures, laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) versus corresponding conventional procedures, for correcting refractive errors in adults for postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, residual refractive errors, and residual HOAs. The secondary objective was to compare two wavefront procedures. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register; 2019, Issue 8); Ovid MEDLINE; Ovid Embase; Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS); the ISRCTN registry; ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO ICTRP. The date of the search was 6 August 2019. We imposed no restrictions by language or year of publication. We used the Science Citation Index (September 2013) and searched the reference lists of included trials to identify additional relevant trials. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing either wavefront modified with conventional refractive surgery or wavefront-optimized with wavefront-guided refractive surgery in participants aged ⪰ 18 years with refractive errors. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methodology. MAIN RESULTS We identified 33 RCTs conducted in Asia, Europe and United States, totaling 1499 participants (2797 eyes). Participants had refractive errors ranging from high myopia to low hyperopia. Studies reported at least one of the following review-specific outcomes based on proportions of eyes: with uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better, without loss of one or more lines of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), within ± 0.50 diopters (D) of target refraction, with HOAs and adverse events. Study characteristics and risk of bias Participants were mostly women, mean age 29 and 53 years, and without previous refractive surgery, ocular pathology or systemic comorbidity. We could not judge risks of bias for most domains of most studies. Most studies in which both eyes of a participant were analyzed failed to account for correlations between two eyes in the analysis and reporting of outcomes. Findings For the primary comparison between wavefront (PRK or LASIK or LASEK) and corresponding conventional procedures, 12-month outcome data were available from only one study of PRK with 70 participants. No evidence of more favorable outcomes of wavefront PRK on proportion of eyes: with UCVA of 20/20 or better (risk ratio [RR] 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86 to 1.24); without loss of one or more lines of BSCVA (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.09); within ± 0.5 D of target refraction (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.24); and mean spherical equivalent (mean difference [MD] 0.04, 95% CI -0.11 to 0.18). The evidence for each effect estimate was of low certainty. No study reported HOAs at 12 months. At six months, the findings of two to eight studies showed that overall effect estimates and estimates by subgroup of PRK or LASIK or LASEK were consistent with those for PRK at 12 month, and suggest no difference in all outcomes. The certainty of evidence for each outcome was low. For the comparison between wavefront-optimized and wavefront-guided procedures at 12 months, the overall effect estimates for proportion of eyes: with UCVA of 20/20 or better (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.02; 5 studies, 618 participants); without loss of one or more lines of BSCVA (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.02; I2 = 0%; 5 studies, 622 participants); within ± 0.5 diopters of target refraction (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.09; I2 = 33%; 4 studies, 480 participants) and mean HOAs (MD 0.03, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.07; I2 = 41%; 5 studies, 622 participants) showed no evidence of a difference between the two groups. Owing to substantial heterogeneity, we did not calculate an overall effect estimate for mean spherical equivalent at 12 months, but point estimates consistently suggested no difference between wavefront-optimized PRK versus wavefront-guided PRK. However, wavefront-optimized LASIK compared with wavefront-guided LASIK may improve mean spherical equivalent (MD -0.14 D, 95% CI -0.19 to -0.09; 4 studies, 472 participants). All effect estimates were of low certainty of evidence. At six months, the results were consistent with those at 12 months based on two to six studies. The findings suggest no difference between two wavefront procedures for any of the outcomes assessed, except for the subgroup of wavefront-optimized LASIK which showed probable improvement in mean spherical equivalent (MD -0.12 D, 95% CI -0.19 to -0.05; I2 = 0%; 3 studies, 280 participants; low certainty of evidence) relative to wavefront-guided LASIK. We found a single study comparing wavefront-guided LASIK versus wavefront-guided PRK at six and 12 months. At both time points, effect estimates consistently supported no difference between two procedures. The certain of evidence was very low for all estimates. Adverse events Significant visual loss or optical side effects that were reported were similar between groups. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This review suggests that at 12 months and six months postoperatively, there was no important difference between wavefront versus conventional refractive surgery or between wavefront-optimized versus wavefront-guided surgery in the clinical outcomes analyzed. The low certainty of the cumulative evidence reported to date suggests that further randomized comparisons of these surgical approaches would provide more precise estimates of effects but are unlikely to modify our conclusions. Future trials may elect to focus on participant-reported outcomes such as satisfaction with vision before and after surgery and effects of remaining visual aberrations, in addition to contrast sensitivity and clinical outcomes analyzed in this review.

Abstract
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) eye surgery is widely used for patients at risk for corneal ectasia to maintain an aspheric corneal shape. Wavefront-guided (WFG) ablation profile was designed to reduce pre-existing higher-order aberrations (HOA). We aimed to compare the corneal aberrations and visual outcomes between WFG and Wavefront Optimized (WFO) PRK in patients with myopia. Eight randomized clinical trials were included. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and CENTRAL at March 2020, and updated the search in September 2020 using relevant keywords, The data were extracted and pooled as Mean Difference (MD) with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI), using Review Manager software (version 5.4). Pooled results showed no significance between Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA) and Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) between both groups underwent WFG and WFO PPR after three months follow up (MD = - 0.03; 95% CI: [-0.06, 0.00]; P = 0.07), (MD = - 0.02; 95% CI: [-0.04, 0.01]; P = 0.22) respectively. Although, no significant difference between mean manifest cylinder after three and 12 months follow up, but the total MD for mean manifest cylinder difference was significantly lower with the WFG treatment method (MD = - 0.12, (95% CI: [0.23:-0.01], P = 0.03). This shows a slight advantage of the WFG over the WFO method. The visual performance showed similarity and excellent refractive outcomes in both WFO and WFG PRK. No significant statistical differences between the two approaches. On further comparison, there was a slight advantage of the WFG over the WFO method.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the refractive and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) outcomes after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in patients with significant astigmatism using aspheric versus wavefront-guided aspheric profiles. SETTING Ophthalmic Research Center and Department of Ophthalmology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Negah Eye Hospital, Tehran, Iran. DESIGN Prospective randomized case series. METHODS One eye of each patient with a refractive astigmatism more than 2.00 diopters (D) randomly received aspheric PRK. In the other eye, wavefront-guided and aspheric treatment was performed using a personalized treatment advanced algorithm. Visual acuity, refractive errors, and HOAs were compared between the 2 groups preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS The study comprised 32 patients (64 eyes). The mean preoperative refractive astigmatism was -4.07 D ± 1.64 (SD) and -4.02 ± 1.55 D in the aspheric group and wavefront-guided aspheric group, respectively (P = .2). The mean postoperative astigmatism was -0.46 ± 0.37 D and -0.82 ± 0.53 D in the aspheric group and wavefront-guided aspheric group, respectively (P = .02). Postoperatively, the root mean square of total HOAs was significantly increased in both groups. However, compared with wavefront-guided aspheric PRK, aspheric PRK induced fewer HOAs (P = .003). CONCLUSIONS In eyes with high astigmatism, post-PRK residual astigmatism was lower in the aspheric group than in the wavefront-guided aspheric group. The increase in HOAs was significantly higher in the wavefront-guided aspheric group than in the aspheric group.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes, including visual acuity, refractive errors, and aberrations, between aberration-free transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial PRK in eyes with myopic astigmatism. SETTING Yonsei University College of Medicine and Eyereum Eye Clinic, Seoul, South Korea. DESIGN Retrospective comparative case series. METHODS Patients with myopic astigmatism were treated with aberration-free transepithelial PRK or corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial PRK using a 1050 Hz high-repetition excimer laser. The safety, efficacy, predictability, and corneal aberrations were compared preoperatively and 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS The study comprised 188 patients (188 eyes); 91 eyes had aberration-free transepithelial PRK and 97 eyes corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial PRK. Six month after surgery, the mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was comparable (-0.06 logMAR ± 0.07 [SD] aberration-free group; -0.06 ± 0.06 logMAR wavefront-guided group). The safety, efficacy, and predictability of refractive and visual outcomes were also comparable between groups. Corneal total root-mean-square (RMS) higher-order aberrations (HOAs) increased after treatment in both groups, although fewer RMS HOAs were induced in the corneal wavefront-guided group than in the aberration-free group. Spherical aberration increased similarly after treatment in both groups. However, coma and trefoil increased only in the aberration-free group. CONCLUSIONS Aberration-free transepithelial PRK and corneal wavefront-guided transepithelial PRK were safe and effective for correction of myopic astigmatism without difference in visual acuity and refractive outcomes. However, the corneal wavefront-guided profile induced fewer corneal aberrations than the aberration-free profile.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) combined with corneal wavefront-guided ablation profiles and hyperaspheric ablation profiles on changes in higher-order aberrations (HOAs). SETTING Yonsei University College of Medicine and Eyereum Clinic, Seoul, South Korea. DESIGN Comparative observational case series. METHODS Medical records of patients who had corneal wavefront-guided hyperaspheric PRK, corneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK, or non-corneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK were analyzed. The logMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), and changes in corneal aberrations (root-mean-square [RMS] HOAs, spherical aberration, coma) were evaluated 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS The records of 61 patients (96 eyes) were reviewed. There was no statistically significant difference in logMAR UDVA or MRSE between the 3 groups at any timepoint. Corneal RMS HOAs were significantly smaller in the corneal wavefront-guided hyperaspheric group and the corneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric group than in the noncorneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric group at each timepoint. Corneal spherical aberration was significantly smaller for corneal wavefront-guided hyperaspheric PRK than for noncorneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK 6 months postoperatively. Changes in corneal spherical aberration (preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively) in corneal wavefront-guided hyperaspheric PRK were significantly smaller than in corneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK (P = .046). Corneal coma was significantly smaller with corneal wavefront-guided hyperaspheric PRK and corneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK than with noncorneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION Corneal wavefront-guided hyperaspheric PRK induced less corneal spherical aberration 6 months postoperatively than corneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK and noncorneal wavefront-guided mild-aspheric PRK.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine changes in stereoacuity in anisometropic myopic eyes after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). METHODS Myopic patients with at least 1 diopter (D) of anisometropia in sphere, astigmatism, or spherical equivalent who were referred to our hospital for excimer refractive surgery were enrolled as a prospective sequential interventional case series. All patients underwent wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (WFG-PRK) using the Technolas Perfect Vision (217z) Excimer laser machine. Changes in binocular stereoacuity were evaluated using the TNO and Butterfly stereoacuity tests before and at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after the operation. RESULTS Between January and November 2015, a total of 98 eyes of 49 patients (71.4% men) with a mean age of 28 ± 5.5 years, mean myopia of -3.32 ± 1.74 D, and mean astigmatism of 1.3 ± 1.3 D were enrolled in this study. Preoperative mean stereoacuity values were 102 ± 103.44 and 56.8 ± 41 seconds of arc (s/arc)as measured by the TNO and Butterfly stereoacuity tests. Mean stereoacuity improved to 90 ± 110.52 s/arc (P = 0.009) and 56.5 ± 41.3 s/arc (P = 0.80), respectively, 6 months after WFG-PRK. Overall improvement in stereoacuity was 10.2% and 6.12% according to the TNO and Butterfly stereoacuity tests, respectively. CONCLUSION Stereoacuity improves after WFG-PRK for treatment of anisometropic myopia. This improvement is more accurately detectable by the TNO than the Butterfly stereoacuity test.

Effectiveness of Technolas torsional eye tracking system on visual outcomes after photorefractive keratectomy. J Curr Ophthalmol 2016; 27:82-6. [PMID: 27239583 PMCID: PMC4881233 DOI: 10.1016/j.joco.2015.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2015] [Revised: 11/06/2015] [Accepted: 11/06/2015] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the efficacy of Technolas 217Z eye tracking system (torsional component) in corneal surface irregularity and high order aberrations (HOAs) after photorefractive keratectomy Methods Patients with compound myopic astigmatism among persons demanding refractive surgery in Khatam-al-Anbia Eye Hospital with the mean age of 29 years were enrolled in this double-blind randomized interventional study. The mean spherical equivalent (SE) of refractive error was −4.75 diopters(D) (range: −1.5 to −7.0), and the mean astigmatism was 3 D (range:1.0–4). Many studies were performed for each patient including: A complete eye examination, visual acuity and Monocular contrast sensitivity evaluation, and refraction. Corneal topography, Orbscan II, and wavefront aberrometry were conducted. One eye was randomly assigned for aspheric treatment and applying eye tracking system. The other eye was treated without torsional eye tracking system. The outcome measures were uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, corneal irregularity index in 3 mm and 5 mm optical zones in Orbscan II, and mean total HOAs at the 6-monthvisit. Results Fifty eyes of 25 patients were enrolled. Mean UCVA was improved significantly in both the study and control groups in the 6-month post-operative follow-up. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in UCVA and BCVA (P = 0.185 and P = 0.176, respectively). Total HOAs increased in both groups after PRK. However, they were lower in eyes treated with the eye tracking system (P < 0.001). Corneal irregularity index in 3 mm and 5 mm central zones in Orbscan II was significantly lower in the study group (P = 0.045 and P = 0.031 respectively). Contrast sensitivity function was not different in the 2 groups (P = 0.15). Conclusion Our study findings suggest that applying ‘Technolas 217z’ eye tracker system (Bausch and Lomb Advanced) results in a more regular anterior surface of cornea. Therefore, we recommend it for surface laser refractive surgery.

Wavefront-Guided Photorefractive Keratectomy with the Use of a New Hartmann-Shack Aberrometer in Patients with Myopia and Compound Myopic Astigmatism. J Ophthalmol 2015; 2015:514837. [PMID: 26504595 PMCID: PMC4609463 DOI: 10.1155/2015/514837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2015] [Revised: 07/12/2015] [Accepted: 07/21/2015] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose. To assess refractive and visual outcomes and patient satisfaction of wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in eyes with myopia and compound myopic astigmatism, with the ablation profile derived from a new Hartmann-Shack aberrometer. Methods. In this retrospective study, 662 eyes that underwent wavefront-guided PRK with a treatment profile derived from a new generation Hartmann-Shack aberrometer (iDesign aberrometer, Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Ana, CA) were analyzed. The preoperative manifest sphere ranged from −0.25 to −10.75 D, and preoperative manifest cylinder was between 0.00 and −5.25 D. Refractive and visual outcomes, vector analysis of the change in refractive cylinder, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Results. At 3 months, 91.1% of eyes had manifest spherical equivalent within 0.50 D. The percentage of eyes achieving uncorrected distance visual acuity 20/20 or better was 89.4% monocularly and 96.5% binocularly. The mean correction ratio of refractive cylinder was 1.02 ± 0.43, and the mean error of angle was 0.00 ± 14.86° at 3 months postoperatively. Self-reported scores for optical side effects, such as starburst, glare, halo, ghosting, and double vision, were low. Conclusion. The use of a new Hartmann-Shack aberrometer for wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy resulted in high predictability, efficacy, and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the refractive, visual, and aberrometric outcomes between wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and aspheric PRK in myopic patients. SETTING Khatam-al-Anbia Eye Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. DESIGN Prospective randomized clinical trial. METHODS One eye of each patient was randomly assigned to excimer laser wavefront-guided PRK (Zyoptix) and the other eye to excimer laser aspheric PRK (Technolas 217z). The preoperative and 3-month and 6-month postoperative refractive errors, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were compared between the groups. RESULTS Ninety-six eyes (48 patients) were enrolled. At the last postoperative visit, there were no between-group differences in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) (P = .987) or corrected distance visual acuity (P = .416). The mean spherical equivalent was -0.076 diopter (D) ± 0.029 (SD) in the wavefront-guided group and -0.077 ± 0.075 D in the aspheric PRK group (P = .684). Postoperatively, the mean area under the log of contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) with and without glare testing improved over preoperative values (both P < .001). There was no statistically significant between-group difference in the AULCSF with glare (P = .903) or without glare (P = .978). Total HOAs increased after PRK in both groups, although aspheric PRK induced fewer HOAs than wavefront-guided PRK (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Both PRK methods equally improved postoperative UDVA and contrast sensitivity. The HOAs increased after treatment with both methods; however, aspheric ablation induced statistically fewer HOAs than wavefront-guided ablation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare visual outcome and higher order aberrations (HOA) between wavefront-guided LASIK (WF-LASIK) and wavefront guided PRK (WF-PRK) in patients with high preoperative HOA. METHODS Randomized prospective interventional study. Conducted at Guru Nanak Eye Centre, Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi, India. Eighty myopic eyes of forty patients were included. INCLUSION CRITERIA age more than 21 years, best corrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better, a stable refraction, to be off soft contact lens for minimum 14 days prior to preoperative examination, preoperative RMS HOA more than 0.35 μ, preoperative central corneal thickness at least 500 μm, estimated residual stromal bed thickness of at least 275 μm in patients undergoing WF-LASIK and 350 μm in patients undergoing WF-PRK. Exclusion criteria were severe dry eye, blepharitis, corneal disease and warpage, uveitis, posterior segment abnormalities involving the macula or optic nerve and systemic diseases. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. They underwent either WF-LASIK (group A) or WF-PRK (group B) over 2 years (40 eyes each). Patients were followed up for 6 months. Main outcome measures were efficacy, safety, stability, predictability and HOA. RESULTS At 6 months mean uncorrected visual acuity (logMAR) in group A was -0.01 ± 0.04 and group B was 0.00 ± 0.07 (P = 0.23). HOA RMS (6mm pupil) in group A was 0.61 ± 0.24 μm and group B was 0.55 ± 0.25 μm. The increase was statistically significant in both the groups (P < 0.05). Both the groups showed similar efficacy, predictability and safety. CONCLUSION WF-LASIK and WF-PRK have similar efficacy, safety and predictability, though WF-PRK induces less HOA.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the efficacy, predictability, safety, and induced higher-order aberrations (HOAs) between wavefront-guided and non-wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Methods The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMED, and EMBASE were searched for randomized controlled trials. Trials meeting the selection criteria were quality appraised, and data was extracted by 2 independent authors. Measures of association were pooled quantitatively using meta-analytical methods. Comparisons between wavefront-guided and non-wavefront-guided ablations were made as pooled odds ratios (ORs) or weighted mean differences. The pooled ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed for efficacy, safety, and predictability. The weighted mean differences and 95% CIs were used to compare induced HOAs. Results The study covered five trials involving 298 eyes. After wavefront-guided PRK, the pooled OR of achieving an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 (efficacy) was 1.18 (95% CI, 0.53–2.60; p = 0.69), the pooled OR of achieving a result within ±0.50 diopter of the intended target (predictability) was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.40–1.84; p = 0.70). No study reported a loss of 2 or more lines of Snellen acuity (safety) with either modality. In eyes with wavefront-guided PRK, the postoperative trefoil aberrations (mean difference −0.02; 95% CI, −0.03 to −0.00; p = 0.03) were significantly lower. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the postoperative total HOAs (mean difference −0.04; 95% CI, −0.23 to 0.14; p = 0.63), spherical (mean difference 0.00; 95% CI, −0.08 to 0.09; p = 0.93), and coma (mean difference −0.06; 95% CI, −0.14 to 0.03; p = 0.20) aberrations. Conclusions According to the meta-analysis, wavefront-guided PRK offered no advantage in efficacy, predictability, or safety measures over non-wavefront-guided PRK, although it may have induced fewer trefoil aberrations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effect of wavefront-guided (WFG) and wavefront-optimized (WFO) photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) on patient perceived quality of vision. METHODS Seventy-one patients (142 eyes) were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, fellow eye controlled study. One eye was randomized to undergo WFG PRK treatment by the AMO Visx CustomVue S4 IR excimer laser system (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Clara, CA) and the fellow eye received WFO PRK treatment by the Alcon Allegretto Wave Eye-Q 400 Hz excimer laser system (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Patients answered questionnaires on their visual symptoms and quality of vision preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS Patients in both groups reported better vision compared to baseline from 3 months onward (mean change in score of 1.56 to 2.51 in the WFO group and 1.54 to 2.28 in the WFG group, P ⩽ .003). Both groups experienced less nighttime glare from 6 months onward (P ⩽ .030). Halos, double vision, and visual clarity were initially worse (P ⩽ .025) but not significantly different after 1 month. Haze and fluctuating vision resolved after 3 months. Visual symptoms were similar between the two groups at all times (P ⩾ .059) except at 6 months, when patients felt their WFG eyes had more excellent vision (P = .029). A composite of all symptoms was also similar between the groups until 12 months when patients had fewer symptoms in their WFO eye (P = .044). CONCLUSIONS One year after surgery, patient self-reported visual symptoms were not significantly different in eyes receiving WFG or WFO PRK. However, the average of all symptoms was lower in eyes receiving wavefront-optimized treatment.

Ocular higher-order aberration features 10 years after photorefractive keratectomy. Int Ophthalmol 2013; 33:651-7.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to re-evaluate the original cohort of patients who participated in the first photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) trial in the 1990s, especially their optical performance. Forty-four eyes (24 patients) of the original cohort who underwent PRK using the NIDK EC-5000 excimer laser platform returned 10 years (range 9-14 years) postoperatively to have higher-order aberrations (HOAs) recorded. Wavefront aberrations were measured using Wavescan (VISX, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and calculated for 3- and 6-mm pupil size. The total RMS (the square root of the sum of squared Zernike coefficients) of higher-order wavefront error (3rd-6th radial order) and the Zernike coefficients, as well as the third-order (S 3) and fourth-order (S 4) aberrations, spherical aberrations and coma aberration values were analyzed. An independent sample t test was used for comparisons and a P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean RMS of higher-order wavefront values showed an increase but no significant difference in postoperative eyes compared to the control-matched normal level with the 6-mm pupil (HOA RMS: control group 0.31 ± 0.12 μm; 10-year post-PRK group 0.56 ± 0.15 μm; P = 0.141). The main contribution was the increase of spherical aberrations (Z 12) and spherical-like aberrations (S 4), which increased by fourfold and 2.5-fold, respectively, in the 10-year post-PRK group (control group Z 12 0.08 ± 0.11 μm, S 4 0.14 ± 0.05 μm; 10-year post-PRK group Z 12 0.35 ± 0.15 μm, S 4 0.37 ± 0.14 μm; P = 0.010*). Most increases of ocular HOAs induced by corneal refractive surgery are becoming extremely minor at 10 years postoperatively, closer to the corresponding preoperative amount. The largest increase was spherical and spherical-like aberrations, especially with a larger pupil size.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the efficacy and predictability of wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatments using the iris registration (IR) technology for the correction of refractive errors in patients with large pupils. Setting Horus Vision Correction Center, Alexandria, Egypt. Methods Prospective noncomparative study including a total of 52 eyes of 30 consecutive laser refractive correction candidates with large mesopic pupil diameters and myopia or myopic astigmatism. Wavefront-guided LASIK was performed in all cases using the VISX STAR S4 IR excimer laser platform. Visual, refractive, aberrometric and mesopic contrast sensitivity (CS) outcomes were evaluated during a 6-month follow-up. Results Mean mesopic pupil diameter ranged from 8.0 mm to 9.4 mm. A significant improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) (P < 0.01) was found postoperatively, which was consistent with a significant refractive correction (P < 0.01). No significant change was detected in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) (P = 0.11). Efficacy index (the ratio of postoperative UCDVA to preoperative CDVA) and safety index (the ratio of postoperative CDVA to preoperative CDVA) were calculated. Mean efficacy and safety indices were 1.06 ± 0.33 and 1.05 ± 0.18, respectively, and 92.31% of eyes had a postoperative spherical equivalent within ±0.50 diopters (D). Manifest refractive spherical equivalent improved significantly (P < 0.05) from a preoperative level of −3.1 ± 1.6 D (range −6.6 to 0 D) to −0.1 ± 0.2 D (range −1.3 to 0.1 D) at 6 months postoperative. No significant changes were found in mesopic CS (P ≥ 0.08), except CS for three cycles/degree, which improved significantly (P = 0.02). Magnitudes of primary coma and trefoil did not change significantly (P ≥ 0.34), with a small but statistically significant increase in primary spherical aberration. Conclusion Wavefront-guided LASIK provides an effective correction of low to moderate myopia or myopic astigmatism in large pupil patients without deterioration of visual quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the intrasession and intersession precision of higher-order aberrations (HOAs) measured using a commercial Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor (Zywave; Bausch & Lomb) in refractive surgery candidates. DESIGN Prospective, experimental study of a device. METHODS To analyze intrasession repeatability, 1 experienced examiner measured 30 healthy eyes 5 times successively. To study intersession reproducibility, the same clinician obtained measurements from another 30 eyes in 2 consecutive sessions at the same time of day 1 week apart. RESULTS For intrasession repeatability, excellent intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were obtained for total ocular aberrations, total HOAs, and second-order terms (ICC, > 0.94). The ICCs for third-order terms also were high (ICCs, > 0.87); however, fourth-order ICCs varied from 0.71 to 0.90 (Z(4)(0) = 0.90); and fifth-order ICCs were less than 0.85. For intersession reproducibility, only total ocular aberrations, total ocular HOAs, second-order terms, Z(4)(0), Z(3)(1), and Z(3-)(3) had ICCs of 0.90 or more. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the limits of agreement (were clinically too wide for most higher-order Zernike terms, especially for the third-order terms (> 0.21 μm). CONCLUSIONS Total ocular aberrations, total HOAs, and second-order terms can be measured reliably by Zywave aberrometry without anatomic recognition. Third-order terms and Z(4)(0) are repeatable, but not as reproducible between visits. Fourth-order terms, except for Z(4)(0), and fifth-order terms are not sufficiently reliable for clinical decision making or treatment. Because the variability of Zywave can be a major limitation of a truly successful wavefront-guided excimer laser procedure, surgeons should consider treating HOA magnitudes that are more than the intrasession repeatability values (2.77 × S(w)) as those presented in this study.

[PMID: 22330308 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2011.11.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2011] [Revised: 11/11/2011] [Accepted: 11/09/2011] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcome and change in higher-order aberrations (HOAs) 1 year post simultaneous wavefront-guided and aspheric photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). DESIGN Prospective interventional case series. METHODS Consecutive myopic patients undergoing PRK (38 eyes of 23 patients) and LASIK (42 eyes of 25 patients) using the Technolas 217z100 excimer laser (Technolas Perfect Vision) in a private laser clinic were included. Main outcome measures were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction (MRSE), HOAs, and spherical aberration (Z(4)(0)). RESULTS At 1 year, 87% (32/37) of PRK eyes and 81% (30/37) of LASIK eyes had UDVA of 20/20 or better (P = .75). Mean ± SD MRSE was -0.26 ± 0.31 diopters (D) in the PRK and -0.16 ± 0.34 D in the LASIK group (P = .222). There was no significant increase in total HOA root mean square (RMS) in the PRK group. Mean ± SD total HOA RMS increased from 0.402 ± 0.14 μm to 0.496 ± 0.17 μm (P = .013) in the LASIK group at 1 year. Z(4)(0) increased from mean ± SD -0.045 ± 0.12 μm to -0.109 ± 0.15 μm (P = .006, factor 2.42) in the PRK group and did not significantly increase in the LASIK group (mean ± SD -0.16 ± 0.17 μm to -0.17 ± 0.15 μm (P = .469, factor 1.08) at 6 mm pupil. CONCLUSIONS Visual outcome was excellent in both treatment groups. HOAs were still increased following LASIK by a factor of 1.23 but not PRK. Z(4)(0) was not induced by LASIK with the treatment algorithm but was negatively induced in PRK eyes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether VISX S4 (VISX Inc) custom photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) results in better visual outcomes than VISX S4 conventional PRK. METHODS Photorefractive keratectomy was performed on 80 eyes from 40 patients in this randomized, prospective, contralateral eye study. Dominant eyes were randomized to one group with the fellow eye receiving the alternate treatment. Primary outcome measures included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), contrast sensitivity, and root-mean-square (RMS) higher order aberrations. RESULTS Mean UDVA was -0.023±0.099 (20/19) in the custom group and -0.044±0.080 (20/18) in the conventional group 6 months after surgery (P=.293). Mean CDVA was -0.073±0.067 (20/17) in the custom group and -0.079±0.071 (20/17) in the conventional group 6 months after surgery (P=.659). Total higher order aberration RMS and spherical aberration increased in both groups compared to preoperative values (P<.05). Coma increased in the conventional group (P<.05) whereas it was similar to preoperative values in the custom group. No significant differences were noted in induction of trefoil. CONCLUSIONS Custom and conventional PRK were shown to be safe and effective with excellent visual acuity and contrast sensitivity performance at 6 and 12 months. Conventional PRK induced more coma than custom PRK; however, this did not seem to correlate with clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare visual outcomes and contrast sensitivity after wavefront-optimized or conventional photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in myopic patients with or without astigmatism. SETTING Vanak Eye Surgery Center, Tehran, Iran. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS Patients with low to moderate myopia with or without astigmatism were allocated into 2 groups. The study group was treated with wavefront-optimized PRK (Allegretto Wave Eye-Q software version 2.020 default treatment) and the control group, with conventional PRK (Technolas 217z). In all cases, treatments were bilateral and performed with the same device. Baseline and 3-month postoperative measures were uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities, manifest refraction, and contrast sensitivity. RESULTS Each group comprised 66 eyes. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction improved from -2.99 diopters (D) ± 1.02 (SD) preoperatively to -0.08 ± 0.26 D 3 months postoperatively in the study group and from -2.66 ± 0.95 D to 0.01 ± 0.30 D, respectively, in the control group. In both groups, the postoperative mesopic and photopic contrast sensitivity decreased significantly at most spatial frequencies. The postoperative decrease in contrast sensitivity in both groups was comparable except at spatial frequencies of 3 cycles per degree (cpd) under mesopic conditions and 12 cpd under photopic conditions, frequencies at which the control group had a greater reduction. CONCLUSIONS Visual acuity and refractive error outcomes were similar in both treatment groups. After 3 months, mesopic and photopic contrast sensitivity were significantly decreased in both groups; the reduction in the 2 groups was almost comparable.

J Cataract Refract Surg 2011; 37:1655-66. [PMID: 21782383 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrs.2011.03.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2011] [Revised: 03/08/2011] [Accepted: 03/10/2011] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the higher-order corneal wavefront aberration during an 8-year follow-up after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). SETTING IRCCS Fondazione G.B. Bietti, Rome, Italy. DESIGN Case series. METHODS Patients having PRK using the Technolas 217C excimer laser platform were divided into 3 groups according to the preoperative refraction as follows: low myopia, high myopia, and astigmatism. The preoperative and 1-, 4-, 6-, and 8-year postoperative root mean square (RMS) values of coma, spherical aberration, and total higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were calculated with 3.5 mm and 6.0 mm simulated pupils. The mean preoperative and postoperative higher-order corneal wavefront aberration maps, point-spread functions, and radial modulation transfer functions (MTFs) were represented to describe the impact of PRK on the optical quality of the anterior cornea. RESULTS The study enrolled 33 patients (66 eyes). Corneal spherical aberration was statistically significantly higher after PRK for simple myopia with 3.5 mm and 6.0 mm pupils (P<.05). The postoperative increase in coma was statistically significant in the high-myopia group with both pupil sizes (P<.05). Total RMS HOAs increased postoperatively with a 6.0 mm pupil in all groups (P<.05). The mean radial MTF was almost stable in all groups between preoperatively and postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Higher-order corneal wavefront aberrations stabilized 1 year after PRK to treat myopia or myopic astigmatism. The effect of induced corneal HOAs tended to increase after correction of high myopia with large pupils, although without degrading the image optical quality of the cornea over the long term.
