Contralateral Study of WaveLight® Femtosecond Laser Devices for Corneal Flap Creation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the WaveLight Ultraviolet Femtosecond Laser System, Model 1026 (UV fs-Laser) corneal flap creation accuracy as compared to the already marketed WaveLight FS200 Infrared Femtosecond Laser, Model 1025 (IR fs-Laser).

Detailed Description
Subjects who qualify to participate will have both eyes treated in the study (one eye with the UV fs-Laser and the other eye with the IR fs-Laser) and will attend a total of 5 study visits over a period of approximately 2 months. This study will be conducted outside the United States.
