Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new aspheric ablation profile for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism. METHODS This prospective, multicenter study included patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using a new aspheric ablation profile of the Technolas Teneo 317 (Model 2) excimer laser (version 1.28 US SW) by Technolas Perfect Vision, Bausch+Lomb, Inc. No nomogram adjustments were made, and the patient's manifest refraction was entered into the laser (for treatment). Postoperative assessments included visual and refractive outcomes. Patients were asked to complete the Patient-Reported Outcomes With LASIK (PROWL) questionnaire preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 333 eyes from 168 patients with a mean age of 33 ± 7 years were included. At postoperative 9 months, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities of 20/25 or better were seen in 97.8% and 100% of eyes, respectively. None of the eyes lost two or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity. The mean manifest spherical refraction improved from -5.67 ± 2.52 diopters (D) preoperatively to -0.04 ± 0.32 D postoperatively, with 92.7% of eyes achieving residual refractive error within ±0.50 D. Residual refractive cylinder within ±0.50 and ±1.00 D was seen in 93% and 99.4% eyes, respectively. The refractive outcomes were stable throughout the follow-up of 9 months. The proportion of patients satisfied with their vision rose from 27.7% preoperatively to 98.1% postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS LASIK performed using a new aspheric ablation profile of the Technolas Teneo 317 (Model 2) excimer laser is safe and effective for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism, yielding excellent visual and refractive outcomes that were stable over 9 months.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcomes of myopiacorrected with corneal-wavefront-guided (CWG) laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with AMARIS 1050S (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH & Co. KG) and corneal-topography-guided (CTG) LASIK with WaveLight EX500 (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX). METHODS In this prospective, pseudo-randomized expanded cohort study, a total of 266 patients were subjected to binocular LASIK surgery, either with WaveLight EX500 (WaveLight group) or Amaris 1050S (AMARIS group) platforms. Data related to right eyes were selected for analysis. Corneal higher-order aberration (HOA) was selected as the primary endpoint; while visual acuity and refraction were the secondary endpoints. All the endpoints were assessed at 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS There were 134 eyes in the AMARIS group and 132 eyes in the WaveLight group. After 3 months of postoperative follow-up, spherical and coma aberrations were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the WaveLight group (spherical aberration: - 0.104 ± 0.199 µm; coma aberration: - 0.117 ± 0.202 µm) in comparison with the AMARIS group (spherical aberrations: 0.254 ± 0.146 µm; coma aberrations: 0.316 ± 0.297 µm). In the AMARIS group, 96.3% of the eyes achieved an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/20 while in the WaveLight group, 96.2% of the eyes achieved an UDVA of 20/20. Furthermore, the mean postoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) was - 0.02 ± 0.28 in the AMARIS group and - 0.05 ± 0.21 in the WaveLight group (P = 0.34). CONCLUSIONS Both WaveLight EX500 and Amaris 1050S LASIK showed excellent refractive and visual outcomes. In addition, the WaveLight group showed minimal spherical and coma aberrations when compared to the AMARIS group.

Abstract
Purpose To compare visual outcomes of eyes that had laser refractive surgery with the Contoura Phorcides treatment plan and eyes that had laser refractive surgery with the wavefront-optimized treatment plan using the same laser. Methods Retrospective chart review of clinical outcomes of eyes that had either Contoura with Phorcides (CP) or wavefront-optimized (WFO) corneal refractive procedures using the Wavelight EX500 (Alcon Vision, LLC). Data were collected and compared for uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refraction, change in postoperative UDVA compared to preoperative CDVA, and change in postoperative CDVA compared to preoperative CDVA. Results Total eyes included were 348, with 227 in the CP Group and 121 in the WFO Group. Post-operatively, there was a significantly higher percentage of eyes in the CP Group that were 20/16 or better compared to the WFO Group (57%, 129 eyes, and 17%, 21 eyes, respectively; p < 0.001). The percentage of eyes that gained 1 or more Snellen lines of UDVA compared to preoperative CDVA was higher in the CP Group (47%; 107 eyes) compared to the WFO Group (12%; 14 eyes), which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Differences in refraction were statistically significant. Conclusion Topography-guided and wavefront-optimized treatment profiles both provided excellent refractive results. A higher percentage of eyes that were treated using Contoura with Phorcides achieved 20/16 or better unaided distance vision compared to eyes receiving a wavefront-optimized treatment plan.

Abstract
Objective To examine the causes and factors that lead to high order aberration (HOA) during the treatment of myopia using small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), as well as the differences between SMILE and other corneal refractive surgeries through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods A systematic search was conducted from January 2015 to February 2023 in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases to gather relevant studies on SMILE and HOA. Studies meeting specific criteria were chosen, and clinical data was retrieved for analysis. Results This meta-analysis resulted in the inclusion of 19 studies involving 1,503 eyes. Pooled results showed significant induction of total HOA (tHOA, d = -0.21, p < 0.001), spherical aberration (SA, d = -0.11, p < 0.001) and coma aberration (CA, d = -0.18, p < 0.001) after SMILE compared to pre-SMILE, while no significant change in trefoil aberration (TA) was observed (d = -0.00, p = 0.91). There was a significantly lower induction of tHOA after SMILE compared to femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK, d = 0.04, p < 0.001), and no significant difference was observed compared to wavefront aberration-guided (WFG) refractive surgery (d = 0.00, p = 0.75). There was also a significant association between different levels of myopia and astigmatism, duration of follow-up, lenticule thickness, and preoperative central corneal thickness (CCT) on the induction of tHOA after SMILE (p < 0.05), while the higher preoperative myopia group (sphere > -5D), lower preoperative astigmatism group (cylinder ≤ -1D), larger lenticule thickness group (lenticule thickness > 100 μm), shorter follow-up group (follow-up 1 month postoperatively) and the thicker CCT group (CCT > 550 μm) brought a significant induction of tHOA compared to the opposite comparison group (p < 0.001). Conclusion While SMILE can induce HOA significantly, it induces less HOA than FS-LASIK. Postoperative HOA following SMILE can be affected by factors such as myopia, astigmatism, lenticule thickness, CCT, and duration of follow-up. Future research should continue to explore techniques to decrease the induction of HOA by using this methodology. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate refractive results, corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs), and epithelial remodeling in the preoperative and postoperative period of regular corneas that had topography-guided femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) (Contoura WaveLight; Alcon Laboratories, Inc) and compare them with the contralateral eye that underwent ablation customized by asphericity (Custom-Q WaveLight; Alcon Laboratories, Inc) in myopic eyes with or without astigmatism. METHODS A prospective, randomized, and double-blind study was conducted. Patients underwent preoperative and postoperative epithelial mapping and corneal tomography to assess the epithelial thickness map, HOAs of the corneal anterior surface, visual acuity, and refractive evaluation. RESULTS This study enrolled 96 normal eyes of 48 patients. Uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better was achieved in 97% of patients and gains in corrected distance visual acuity and effectiveness in correcting refractive astigmatism were similar in both techniques. Seventeen sectors of the corneal epithelium map were assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and no significant differences were found between techniques preoperatively and postoperatively (P > .05). HOA root mean square, coma Z3±1, trefoil Z3-3, and tissue consumption exhibited statistically significant between-technique differences (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The Contoura and Custom-Q techniques were similar with respect to refractive and visual outcomes after 3 months, as well as in epithelial remodeling. The Contoura provides lower postoperative HOA root mean square, coma Z3±1, and trefoil Z3-3 values, but the techniques showed no differences in the correction of the corneal astigmatic wavefront component and in the spherical aberration after 3 months.

Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are rare central demyelinating diseases that may affect refractive surgery outcomes. Optic neuritis and brainstem syndromes affecting cranial nerves are particularly relevant to corneal refractive surgery (CRS), such as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy, or small incision lenticule extraction. There is currently no existing literature concerning the outcomes of CRS in patients with MOGAD or NMOSD. This article reports the clinical outcome of a MOGAD patient who underwent LASIK.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Currently, the most commonly performed corneal refractive surgery is laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Customized forms of LASIK have been developed, which have allowed for improved outcomes and the enhanced correction of higher order aberrations (HOAs). This review discusses one form of custom LASIK, topography-guided LASIK, including factors involved in preoperative planning, and advantages and disadvantages compared with other forms of keratorefractive surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Various treatment-planning approaches addressing discrepancies between the refractive and topographic astigmatic magnitude and axis have been used successfully, although there is debate regarding a superior method in the literature. SUMMARY There are many forms of custom LASIK, which provide excellent outcomes. Topography-guided LASIK may be of particular use in highly aberrated corneas and may also provide outstanding outcomes in healthy eyes given its emphasis on treating the primary refractive surface of the eye.

Abstract
Background Wavefront-optimized laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ablation is the most commonly performed procedure in refractive surgery, but new technologies have become available. Our goal was to compare topography-guided (Contoura) and asphericity-guided (Custom-Q) customized ablation treatments for the correction of myopia with or without astigmatism. Methods This prospective, randomized, double-blind, contralateral eye study included 60 eyes of 30 patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism requiring femtosecond LASIK (FemtoLASIK) treatment. For each patient, one eye was randomized to undergo Contoura treatment, and the other underwent Custom-Q abaltion. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE), sphere (SPH), cylinder (CYL), 6.0-mm total corneal aberration root mean square (RMS), coma (COMA), trefoil (TREF), and spherical aberration (SA) were measured and analysed after a 1-year follow-up. Results The UDVA was − 0.08 ± 0.06 logMAR in Contoura eyes and − 0.08 ± 0.05 logMAR in Custom-Q eyes (p = 0.309) after 12 months. Twenty-five eyes (83%) in the Contoura group and twenty-six eyes (87%) in the Custom-Q group had a UDVA of 20/16 at the end of 12 months, and 100% of eyes in both groups reached a UDVA of 20/25 or better. Ninety and 100% of eyes in the Contoura and Custom-Q groups, respectively, achieved a residual CYL ≤0.50 D (p = 0.237). No statistically significant difference was observed between the surgical techniques in the preoperative to 1-year postoperative changes for any of the parameters evaluated (MRSE, CYL, RMS, DEF, COMA, TREF, and SA). Conclusions The Contoura and Custom-Q techniques yielded excellent visual and refractive results, but the evidence did not reveal any clear differences between these two methods after 1 year of follow-up.

Abstract
AIM To compare the clinical outcomes of wavefront guided femtosecond LASIK (WFG LASIK) and conventional femtosecond LASIK (NWFG LASIK) in eyes with myopia and myopia astigmatism. METHODS This was a retrospective, nonrandomized, comparative investigation enrolling 236 eyes of 122 patients (18-50y) with low & moderate and high myopia. The WFG group including 97 eyes (50 patients) undergone WFG LASIK and the NWFG group including 139 eyes (72 patients) undergone conventional LASIK. Mean efficacy index, high order aberrations (HOAs), pupil size and the quality of visual questionnaire were evaluated 6mo postoperatively. RESULTS There is no difference between WFG group (-0.054±0.049 in logMAR) and NWFG group (-0.040±0.056) in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) postoperatively. The myopia astigmatism is higher in WFG group than that in NWFG group (P<0.05). However, the mean efficacy index (MEI) in the WFG group (1.09±0.106) is better than that in the NWFG group (1.036±0.124; P<0.001). Increased HOAs were observed in NWFG group (0.30±0.196) than that in WFG group (0.146±0.188; P<0.001). The pupil size is larger in WFG group (5.15±0.76 mm) than that in NWFG group (4.32±0.52 mm). The patients are satisfied with the clinical surgery, yet WFG group showed better visual quality using the questionnaire survey. Meanwhile, high myopia would result in worse MEI, HOAs and visual quality than low & moderate myopia. CONCLUSION WFG and NWFG FS-LASIK are both effective and safe procedures to correct low & moderate and high myopia, but WFG FS-LASIK gives a better postoperative MEI, aberrometric control and predictable outcome. Meanwhile, WFG FS-LASIK is better than NWFG FS-LASIK in correction of myopia astigmatism. Low & moderate myopia allow better clinical outcomes than high myopia using any surgical method.

PURPOSE To evaluate the differences in efficacy, predictability, safety, and visual quality between topography-guided customized ablation treatment (TCAT) and wavefront-optimized (WFO) laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of myopia with and without astigmatism. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials was used to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TCAT-LASIK with WFO-LASIK for myopia with and without astigmatism up to September 2020. The references of all searched literature were checked as supplements. Literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and relative data were extracted. RevMan software version 5.3.0 (Cochrane Collaboration) was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of seven RCTs (1,168 eyes) were included. There were no statistically significant differences in the ratio of uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better (relative risk [RR] = 1.01, 95% CI [0.97 to 1.06], P = .64) and 20/16 or better (RR = 0.96, 95% CI [0.80 to 1.16], P = .69). Compared with WFO-LASIK, TCAT-LASIK achieved a higher proportion of postoperative manifest refractive spherical equivalent within ±0.50 diopters of the target (RR = 1.06, 95% CI [1.02 to 1.11], P = .003) and less surgically induced higher order aberrations (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -0.11, 95% CI [-0.15 to -0.0], P < .00001), spherical aberrations (WMD = -0.04, 95% CI [-0.05 to -0.03], P < .00001), and coma (WMD = -0.15, 95% CI [-0.28 to -0.01], P = .03). No patient lost two or more lines of distance-corrected visual acuity postoperatively in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that both TCATLASIK and WFO-LASIK show excellent efficacy, predictability, and safety for myopia. TCAT-LASIK exhibited more accurate postoperative refraction predictability and less surgically induced higher order aberrations, spherical aberrations, and coma. More randomized, prospective, and large sample-sized studies are needed to confirm these conclusions in the long term. [J Refract Surg. 2021;37(10):707-714.].

Abstract
AIM To investigate the potential differences between topography-guided (TG) and wavefront-optimized (WFO) laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of myopia. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed to determine relevant trials comparing LASIK with TG and WFO from the time of library construction to August 2020, and The PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, EMBASE and Chinese databases (i.e. CNKI, CBM, WAN FANG and VIP) were accessed. The data on visual acuity, refractive status and wavefront aberration were retrieved and evaluated from three to six months after surgery. STATA (version 14.0) software was used for statistical analysis. A cumulative Meta-analysis was simultaneously performed. RESULTS Eleven studies with a total of 1425 eyes were incorporated. No statistically significant differences were evident between TG and WFO ablation in the proportion of eyes achieving an uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better (P=0.377), gaining one line or more (P=0.05), postoperative cylinder (P=0.40), vertical coma (P=0.593) and horizontal coma (P=0.957). After TG ablation, the proportion of the patients' eyes of which postoperative refraction is within ±0.5 diopter of the target refraction was significantly higher than that undergoes WFO (P=0.003). As opposed to the WFO group, manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE; P=0.000) was lower, and UCVA (P=0.005) was better in the TG group. The higher-order aberrations (HOAs; P=0.000), spherical aberration (P=0.000) and coma (P=0.000) were significantly lower in TG group. The cumulative Meta-analysis illustrated that the proportion of eyes achieving UCVA of 20/20 or better, postoperative refraction within ±0.5 diopter, and MRSE has steady between the two groups. CONCLUSION Both TG-LASIK and WFO-LASIK are safe, effective, and predictable for correcting myopia. TG-LASIK may produce fewer aberration and is more precise than WFO-LASIK.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of coma on manifest refractive cylinder (MRC) in eyes with coma-dominated corneal optics and suggest alternative guidelines for surgical planning of astigmatism correction in topography-guided ablation and toric intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery. METHODS Twelve eyes with coma-dominant corneal optics and low lenticular astigmatism were selected. The astigmatism remaining after subtraction of total corneal astigmatism (TCA) and lenticular astigmatism from MRC, termed discrepant astigmatism, was calculated and correlated to corneal coma at the anterior surface. Refractive and topography data were then used to simulate topography-guided refractive surgery (topography-guided group) in 7 eyes and lenticular exchange surgery with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (toric IOL group) in 5 eyes. The estimated postoperative MRC after correction of TCA or MRC for each group was compared. RESULTS The axis and amplitude of discrepant astigmatism correlated strongly with the axis and amplitude of coma. In the topography-guided group, where topography-guided ablation eliminated corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs), TCA-based correction led to less estimated postoperative manifest astigmatism than MRC-based correction. In the toric IOL group, where removal of the crystalline lens did not affect corneal HOAs, MRC-based correction via toric IOL implantation led to less estimated postoperative astigmatism than TCA-based correction. CONCLUSIONS Discrepant astigmatism in eyes with coma-dominant corneal optics correlates with coma. In such eyes, treating TCA, along with corneal HOAs, instead of MRC, seems appropriate in topography-guided treatments, whereas treating MRC may be a better choice in lenticular exchange surgery with toric IOL implantation, where corneal HOAs are not treated.

Abstract
AIM To compare the quality outcomes of vision at early phase after topography-guided femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK-CV) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism. METHODS Retrospective comparative analysis of 49 patients that underwent FS-LASIK (n=23) or SMILE (n=26) procedure for myopia and myopic astigmatism between April and September in 2019. Pre- and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ), cylindrical refraction, contrast sensitivity function (CSF), and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were evaluated. Independent t-test was used for inter-group comparison, while repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze changes at different time points. RESULTS In both groups, 100% of the eyes obtained a UCVA of 20/20 or better at 1wk, 1, and 3mo postoperatively. At 1d and 3mo postoperatively, UCVA was better in FS-LASIK-CV group than in SMILE group. At 1wk postoperatively, SEQ was lower in SMILE group than in FS-LASIK-CV group (P=0.006). At 3mo postoperatively, the SEQ reached target refraction in both groups. The residual astigmatism was reduced in both groups without intergroup difference (P>0.05). At 3mo postoperatively, the spherical aberration and coma under 6 mm pupil size were higher than preoperative levels in both groups (P<0.05). However, the increase in the corneal HOAs in the FS-LASIK-CV group was less than the SMILE group (P<0.05). At 3mo postoperatively, the logCS were better than preoperative levels under scotopic conditions without glare and scotopic conditions with glare in both groups (P<0.05). At 1 and 3mo postoperatively, under scotopic conditions without glare and scotopic conditions with glare, FS-LASIK-CV group showed more improvement in logCS at two spatial frequencies (12.0 c/d and 18.0 c/d; P<0.05). CONCLUSION Both FS-LASIK-CV and SMILE demonstrate to be safe, effective, and predictable in treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism. Early postoperative improvement in UCVA and CSF at high spatial frequency under scotopic conditions were better after FS-LASIK-CV than SMILE.

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 This study investigated the characteristics of corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) of the anterior surface, posterior surface, and total cornea in adolescents with mild to moderate myopia. Methods A total of 183 patients with myopia (183 eyes) aged 8 to 18 years were enrolled in this study. The axial length (AL) of the eyes was measured by an IOL-Master, and corneal curvatures (K-values) and HOAs were measured by a Pentacam anterior segment diagnostic analyzer. Results Results of this study showed that the anterior, posterior and total corneal horizontal coma Z31 were − 0.1249 ± 0.105 μm, 0.0009 ± 0.001 μm, and − 0.1331 ± 0.116 μm, respectively; the anterior, posterior and total corneal vertical coma Z3− 1 were − 0.0212 ± 0.164 μm, 0.0003 ± 0.043 μm, and − 0.0216 ± 0.168 μm, respectively; and spherical aberration (SA) Z40 values were 0.2244 ± 0.091 μm, 0.1437 ± 0.029 um, and 0.1889 ± 0.090 μm, respectively. Total corneal Z31 was statistically correlated with posterior corneal astigmatism (K2b − K1b) (p = 0.038). Total corneal Z3− 1 was correlated with anterior corneal astigmatism (K2f − K1f) (p = 0.027). Anterior, posterior, and total corneal Z40 were correlated with anterior and posterior corneal curvature (K1f, K2f, K1b, K2b) (p = 0.001). Posterior corneal Z40b was also significantly correlated with AL. Conclusions In adolescents with mild to moderate myopia, the posterior corneal surface shape may play a compensatory role in the balance of corneal aberrations, and the posterior corneal SA tended to become less negative as the AL increased. The corneal coma may also play a compensatory role in posterior corneal surface astigmatism, which was valuable for the treatment for improving visual quality. This conclusion still needs to be verified.

Abstract
Over the last decade, refractive surgery has been revolutionized by advancements in ablation profiles, available for the treatment of both regular and irregular corneas. Advances in corneal imaging have helped highlight the presence of higher-order aberrations, the correction of which could result in a better quality of vision. Topographic measurements being static are more repeatable and pupil independent and therefore provide the ideal platform for correction of both lower and higher-order aberrations and could result in improved visual quality even in patients with seemingly regular corneas. The combination of topography-guided treatment with collagen cross-linking has further increased the scope of treating irregular corneas like keratoconus, post-laser in-situ keratomileusis ectasia, and pellucid marginal degeneration. This review delves into the current literature and guidelines available for the topographic treatment of regular and irregular corneas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the contribution of anterior corneal higher-order aberration ablation depth (HOA-AD) to topography-guided outcomes. METHODS This was a retrospective comparative analysis of 9,722 consecutive eyes undergoing laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treated on the clinically measured refractive cylinder with Contoura software (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Outcomes of the 3,246 eyes with the shallowest HOA-AD (first tercile: 5.4 ± 0.9 µm) were compared to the 3,362 eyes with the deepest HOA-AD (last tercile: 11.0 ± 1.7 µm). RESULTS The HOA-AD followed a left-skewed normal distribution (R2 = 0.98) with a mean ± standard deviation of 8.02 ± 3.00 µm, with 1.8% of eyes greater than 15 µm. The efficacy index of shallow versus deep HOA-AD eyes was identical (0.98 ± 0.07 vs 0.98 ± 0.09; P = .99), with a similar percentage having spherical equivalent within ±0.50 diopters (D) (95.2% vs 95.0%; P = .71) and within ±0.75 D (98.9% vs 98.7%; P = .46) of intended target. The safety index (1.00 ± 0.03 vs 1.00 ± 0.04; P = .19) and Alpins correction index (1.00 ± 0.39 vs 1.01 ± 0.43; P = .53) were also identical. The mean postoperative refractive astigmatism difference between the shallow (0.15 D) and deep (0.20 D) groups was 0.05 D. The 3-month laser re-treatment rate was greater in the deep group (0.83% vs 0.37%; P = .02), but less than 1% for both groups. CONCLUSIONS The contribution of topography-guided HOA-AD to clinical outcomes in most virgin eyes is negligible, with excellent efficacy, accuracy, and safety in both the deep and shallow ablation groups. Eyes with deep HOA-AD greater than 15 µm trend to lesser outcomes, but should not be excluded from topography-guided surgery. [J Refract Surg. 2019;35(12):754-762].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Attention is usually given to inferior steepening on corneal topography in the evaluation of a patient's suitability for LASIK surgery. The aim of this study is to investigate long-term refractive results with superior steepening. METHODS Patients who underwent LASIK surgery between 2015 and 2019 in our refractive surgery department were retrospectively reviewed. The patients with a ≥ 1.0 D superior-inferior (S-I) quadrant difference in the tangential map, using a Scheimpflug camera with a Placido disc topographer (Sirius), were included in the study. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (Snellen), cylindrical refraction values, and spherical equivalent (SE) values were compared. Adverse events were recorded. RESULTS Fifty eyes of 28 patients participated in the study. The mean age of the patients was 27.5 ± 8.0 (19-59). Sixteen patients were female (57.1%), and 12 (42.8%) patients were male. The average follow-up time was 29.8 ± 11.1 months (12-61). Average central corneal thickness was 549.4 ± 26.0 (498-602) μm. Average minimal corneal thickness was 549.1 ± 26.9 (497-598) μm. Preoperative S-I quadrant difference (D) was 1.87 ± 0.7 (1.0-3.99). Posterior elevation (Kvb) was 11.2 ± 1.9 (9-17) μm. The preoperative SE value was - 1.7 ± 2.1 (- 6.25-3.25) and improved to - 0.3 ± 0.44 D (- 1.25-0.75) (p < 0.001). Preoperative cylindrical refraction values were - 2.04 ± 1.7 (- 6.25-0), and postoperative values were - 0.47 ± 0.4 (- 2-0) D (p < 0.001). Uncorrected visual acuity was median 1.0 (0.4-1.0) with 38 eyes (76%) having 20/20 postoperative uncorrected visual acuity. No sight threatening complications or ectasia findings were observed during the 2 years postoperative follow-up time. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal corneal topographies with (S-I) asymmetry result in predictable results after LASIK.

Abstract
Background To compare the outcomes of myopia and myopic astigmatism corrected with topography-modified refraction laser in situ keratomileusis (TMR-LASIK), wavefront-optimized (WFO) LASIK, and topography-guided (TG) LASIK with a correction target based on the manifest refraction (manifest TG-LASIK). Methods This observational, retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent LASIK using the WaveLight® EX500 excimer laser to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism between August 2016 and July 2017. Patients who underwent TMR-LASIK (85 patients), WFO-LASIK (70 patients), or manifest TG-LASIK (40 patients) were enrolled, and only one eye from each patient was analyzed. All participants underwent measurement of the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA), manifest refraction, vector analysis of astigmatic change, corneal topography, and corneal wavefront analysis at baseline and at every posttreatment visit. Results Three months postoperatively, a UDVA of 0.0 logMAR or better and manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) within ±0.5 diopters (D) did not differ across the TMR-, WFO-, and manifest TG-LASIK groups. However, the residual cylinder in the TMR group was significantly larger than that in the WFO and manifest TG groups. The magnitude of error in the TMR group measured using astigmatism vector analysis was significantly higher than that in the WFO and manifest TG groups. Conclusions Although these three LASIK platforms achieved the predicted surgical outcomes, TMR-LASIK overcorrected astigmatism and showed a higher residual postoperative astigmatism compared with WFO- and manifest TG-LASIK.

Status of Residual Refractive Error, Ocular Aberrations, and Accommodation After Myopic LASIK, SMILE, and TransPRK. J Refract Surg 2019; 35:624-631. [PMID: 31610003 DOI: 10.3928/1081597x-20190916-02] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze residual refractive error, ocular aberrations, and visual acuity (VA) during accommodation simultaneously with ocular aberrometry in eyes after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK). METHODS Ocular aberrometry (Tracey Technologies, Houston, TX) was performed 3 months after LASIK (n = 95), SMILE (n = 73), and TransPRK (n = 35). While measuring the aberrations, VA was measured at distance (20 ft), intermediate (60 cm), and near (40 cm) targets. The examinations were done monocularly. A parallel group of age-matched normal eyes (n = 50) with 20/20 Snellen distance VA also underwent aberrometry. RESULTS Distribution of residual spherical error of LASIK eyes matched the normal eyes the best, followed by SMILE and TransPRK. However, the distribution of cylindrical error of the SMILE eyes was distinctly different from the rest (P < .05). The SMILE eyes tended to be undercorrected by approximately 0.25 diopters (D) on average at all reading targets compared to LASIK eyes (P < .05). The undercorrection was greater when the magnitude of the preoperative cylinder exceeded 0.75 D (P < .05). The VA of LASIK and SMILE eyes was similar to normal eyes at all targets, but the TransPRK eyes were marginally inferior (P < .05). Only the ocular defocus changed differentially between the study groups during accommodation and the magnitude of change was least for TransPRK eyes (P < .05). However, postoperative near and intermediate accommodation of LASIK eyes were similar to normal eyes, followed by SMILE eyes and then TransPRK eyes. CONCLUSIONS The refractive and aberrometric status of the LASIK eyes was closest to the normal eyes. The SMILE procedure may benefit from slight overcorrection of the preoperative refractive cylinder. [J Refract Surg. 2019;35(10):624-631.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the refractive outcomes and aberration data analysis of wavefront-optimized (WFO) ablation and topography-guided Contoura ablation (TGCA) (Contoura on the WaveLight laser; WaveLight GmbH, Erlangen, Germany) in patients who had laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia or myopic astigmatism. METHODS In this comparative contralateral eye study, patients who underwent LASIK with TGCA in one eye and with WFO ablation in the fellow eye were analyzed. Aberration measurements and corneal topography were analyzed using the WaveLight Oculyzer II diagnostic device (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Total corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs) including vertical and oblique astigmatism (Z2 2, Z2 -2), coma (Z3 1, Z3 -1), trefoil (Z3 3, Z3 -3), spherical aberration, and Q value were analyzed. These measurements were taken preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS This study comprised 32 patients. There were no significant differences between both procedures according to postoperative uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity values, refractive errors, and manifest refraction spherical equivalents within ±0.50 diopters (D) of emmetropia (P > .05). The preoperative corneal HOAs and Q values were also similar between the groups (P > .05). At 3 months postoperatively, the vertical and horizontal coma values in the WFO ablation group were statistically significantly higher compared to the TGCA group (P = .013 and .020, respectively). Less stromal tissue was ablated in the TGCA group compared to the WFO ablation group (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Although WFO ablation and TGCA protocols had statistically similar visual outcomes, the TGCA protocol was associated with a significantly lower induction in vertical and horizontal coma and smaller amount of tissue ablation compared to WFO ablation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of topography-guided and wavefront-optimized surgery in patients having laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. SETTING Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, and BALGEUN-EYE21 Operation Center, Gwangju, South Korea. DESIGN Prospective case study. METHODS Patients had topography-guided LASIK in 1 eye and wavefront-optimized LASIK in the contralateral eye using Contoura Vision software and the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser. Refractive and visual outcomes were analyzed 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS The study comprised 43 patients. In both groups, the postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 0.0 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution or better in 90.7% of eyes and the residual spherical equivalent (SE) refractive error was ±0.75 diopter (D) in 81.4% of eyes. The UDVA, residual SE refractive error, and astigmatism did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. There was significant induction of higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in both groups, although corneal coma and trefoil did not increase and ocular trefoil decreased significantly in the topography-guided group (P = .038). However, in the wavefront-optimized group, corneal coma and trefoil increased significantly (P < .001 and P = .046, respectively) and ocular trefoil did not change significantly. In addition, topography-guided LASIK induced significantly fewer corneal total HOAs (P < .001), coma (P < .001), and trefoil (P = .020) than wavefront-optimized LASIK. CONCLUSION Although both topography-guided LASIK and wavefront-optimized LASIK safely and effectively achieved the predicted refractive and visual outcomes, topography-guided LASIK induced fewer HOAs and significantly decreased ocular trefoil, corneal total HOAs, and coma.

Abstract
Introduction We wanted to assess the efficacy, predictability, and stability of topography-guided, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (TGL) on normal untreated eyes with a preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/20. Methods This was a retrospective, non-randomized, and single arm study evaluating the outcomes of TGL in eyes with a preoperative BCVA of 20/20. We included 50 eyes of 50 patients who presented to the Hashmanis Hospital, Pakistan and were followed for six months postoperatively. All eyes underwent treatment using the Alcon Wavelight Allegro Topolyzer (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., TX, USA). Results The mean preoperative sphere, cylinder, and spherical equivalent (SE) values were -4.3 ± 1.6 dioptres (D), -1.0 ± 0.8 D, and -4.8 ± 1.8 D. On day one these values were 0.2 ± 0.8 D, -0.5 ± 0.3, and 0.3 ± 0.8, respectively, and on month six they were -0.1 ± 0.6, -0.5 ± 0.3, and -0.4 ± 0.6 D, respectively. On postoperative day one and month six, 86% and 94% of eyes had a UCVA of 20/20 or better, respectively. Two eyes (4%) had an SE change of greater than 0.5 D from three to six months. Conclusion Our study demonstrates good efficacy, predictability, and stability of eyes undergoing TGL with a follow-up of six months.
