Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the size of the pupil has an effect on quality of vision in patients undergoing LASIK surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate the effect of preoperative pupil size on quality of vision after wavefront-guided LASIK.

Methods: Fifty-one patients underwent LASIK for low myopia and completed questionnaires regarding specific visual symptoms before and after surgery. Each eye was evaluated postoperatively at 1-week, 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-months. Pupils were stratified according to size: small (\<5.5mm), medium (5.5 to 6.0mm) and large (\>6.0mm). Mesopic pupil size and preoperative and postoperative variables were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). A regression model was also performed to determine the correlation between mean spherical equivalent and cylinder and visual symptoms.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. no more than 6.00 D of spherical myopia
2. no more than 3.00 D of refractive astigmatism
3. a stable refraction (less than 0.50D per year of sphere or cylinder)
4. a corneal diameter of less than 11.0 mm to allow for suction ring fixation
5. discontinuation of soft contact wear at least 7 days prior to preoperative evaluation
6. visual acuity correctable to at least 20/20
7. age older than 21 years
8. ability to participate in follow-up examinations for 12 months after LASIK surgery

Exclusion Criteria

1. use of rigid gas permeable contact lens
2. severe dry eye symptoms
3. severe blepharitis
4. anterior segment abnormalities (i.e. cataracts, corneal scarring, or neovascularization within 1 mm of intended ablation zone)
5. recurrent corneal erosion
6. severe basement membrane disease
7. progressive or unstable myopia or keratoconus
8. unstable corneal mires on central keratometry
9. corneal thickness in which LASIK procedure would result in less than 250 microns of remaining posterior corneal thickness below the flap postoperatively
10. baseline standard manifest refraction of more than 0.75 D in sphere power
11. or a difference of greater than 0.50 D in cylinder power compared with baseline standard cycloplegic refraction
12. a baseline standard cycloplegic refraction differing more than 0.75 in sphere, 0.50 D in cylinder
13. have a different type of astigmatism (i.e. with-the-rule) when the cylinder is greater than 0.50D compared to baseline standard cycloplegic refraction
14. preoperative assessment of ocular topography and/or aberrations indicates that either eye is not suitable candidate for LASIK vision correction procedure (i.e. forme fruste keratoconus
15. corneal warpage, or pellucid marginal degeneration)
16. previous intraocular or corneal surgery
17. history of herpes zoster or simplex keratitis
18. patients on systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy
19. immunocompromised subjects or clinically significant atopic disease
20. connective tissue disease
21. diabetes
22. steroid responder
23. macular pathology
24. pregnant or lactating patients
25. patients with sensitivity to planned study concomitant medications
26. patients participating in another ophthalmic drug or device clinical trial
