Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to compare the results of wavefront-guided LASIK surgery to topography-guided LASIK surgery in participants with nearsightedness with or without astigmatism
We are using three FDA-approved laser devices for the study.
We are using two excimer lasers for the study. The excimer laser is used to perform the reshaping of the cornea under a LASIK flap to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. We are using a Johnson and Johnson Visx CustomVue excimer laser and an Alcon Allegretto laser in the study. Both have received FDA-approval via a PMA pathway.
We are using one femtosecond laser for the study. The femtosecond laser is used to create the LASIK flap during the first part of the LASIK procedure. We are using an Intralase iFS150 femtosecond laser in the study. The femtosecond laser received FDA- approval via a 510k pathway.
All three lasers are being used according to their approved indications.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of eyes achieving uncorrected visual acuity [One year]
Percentage of eyes achieving an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40, 20/25 ,20/20, 20/16, 20/12.5 and 20/10 at post-operative month twelve
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of eyes with a change in two or more lines of corrected visual acuity [One year]
Percentage of eyes gaining or losing two or more lines of corrected visual acuity Percentage of eyes gaining or losing 2 or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity
- Predictability [One year]
Percentage of eyes within +/- 0.50 and +/- 1.00 diopters of the intended corrected
- Patient Quality of Vision [One year]
Percentage of patients preferring the eye that underwent either Wavefront-guided or Topography-guided LASIK
- Change in corneal epithelial thickness [One year]
We will be measuring the average change in central corneal epithelial thickness from preoperative to post-operative month12 in eyes undergoing Wavefront-guided LASIK and Topography-guided LASIK
