3AIM
- To develop the technology for correction of
spheric aberration appearing during excimer laser
cornea ablation for myopia correction -
- To compare refraction, visual acuity, and
spheric aberration after wavefront-guided and
combined excimer laser surgery
4PATIENTS AND METHODS
- Aberrometry with 6 mm diameter - WASCA
aberrometer (Carl Zeiss Meditec) - Keratotopography ATLASTM 995 (Carl Zeiss
Meditec) - Flap formation - Hansatome Excellus microkeratome
(BL) - Excimer laser ablation with 6 mm diameter -
MEL-80 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec) -
- Wavefront-guided ablation was performed with the
use of CRS-Master (Carl Zeiss Meditec) - Combined ablation was performed in 2 steps
during one operation - Myopic ablation with the depth corresponding to
the degree of myopia increased by 2.0 D for mild
myopia and by 2.5 D for moderate myopia. - Hyperopic ablation with the depth corresponding
to 1.0 D for mild myopia and 1.5 D for moderate
myopia.

WAVEFRONT- GUIDED LASIK OD
COMBINED LASIK OS
Numerical keratotopographic map 6 months after
surgery. A significant increase of corneal
refraction (marked with red oval) from cornea
center (0 mm) to the periphery (6 mm) is seen in
wavefront guided LASIK group (? 0,94 D) while
it is almost absent in combined LASIK group (?
0,17 D).

COMBINED LASIK OS
The value of spheric aberration 6 months after
surgery (red arrow indicates the numeric value of
spheric aberration). A significant increase of
negative spheric aberration in wavefront guided
group (Z(4,0) - 0.674 µm, Malacara notation)
compared to combined LASIK (Z(4,0) 0.000 µm,
Malacara notation).
12 CONCLUSIONS
- During customized correction of higher order
aberrations it is necessary to take into
consideration not only preoperative wavefront
aberration data, but also biomechanical changes
of the cornea taking place during ablation - Combination of myopic and hyperopic ablation
during correction of myopia is able to correct
spheric aberration appearing due to
ablation-induced biomechanical changes of the
cornea
