This was a randomized, reading center-masked, exploratory study. Forty-five patients (myopic without significant anisometropia) scheduled for bilateral PRK (9-mm epithelial defect) were randomized post-PRK to treatment with OBG 8 times daily for 3 days, followed by 4 times daily for 11 days (Group 1); OBG 4 times daily for 14 days (Group 2); or BCL and artificial tears (Control).

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To compare and analyze the differences in visual outcomes between Visx iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio™ System, Alcon Wavelight Allegro Topolyzer and Nidek EC-5000 using Final Fit™ Custom Ablation Treatment Software from the submitted summary of safety and effectiveness of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) data.
Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 334 eyes from Visx iDesign, 212 eyes from Alcon Contour, and 135 eyes from Nidek CATz platforms were analyzed for primary and secondary visual outcomes. These outcomes were compared via side-by-side graphical and tabular representation of the FDA data.
Purpose: To report the short-term results of simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and small-aperture cornea inlay implantation (KAMRA) surgery in treating presbyopia.
Methods: Simultaneous PRK and KAMRA inlay surgery was performed on 21 patients from July 2015 to March 2016. Follow-up exams were conducted at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.
Purpose: To assess patient satisfaction and perceived outcomes with different methods of refractive error correction through annual surveys administered over a 3-year period.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal, parallel-group, multicenter survey.
Participants: A total of 1800 subjects, aged 18 to 60 years, who had LASIK or continued using contact lenses.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of topography-guided custom ablation treatment (T-CAT) to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Setting: Nine clinical sites in the USA.
Design: Prospective observational nonrandomized unmasked study.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety of the corneal inlay removal procedure and the reversibility of visual acuities, corneal topography, and corneal biomicroscopy changes in a series of cases.
Methods: Ten cases implanted with one of three versions of the AcuFocus Kamra Inlay (ACI 7000, 7000T, and 7000PDT; AcuFocus, Inc., Irvine, CA) were followed for a minimum of 6 months after corneal inlay removal.
Purpose: To investigate whether dilute brimonidine (0.025%) reduces patient discomfort, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and injection after LASIK without a significant increase in the rate of flap complications or surgical enhancements.
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, prospective study enrolled 180 patients (360 eyes) in a contralateral eye comparison of topical dilute brimonidine, naphazoline/pheniramine, or Systane Ultra (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.
Purpose: To investigate the speed of visual recovery following myopic thin-flap LASIK with a femtosecond laser.
Methods: This pilot study prospectively evaluated 20 eyes from 10 patients who underwent bilateral simultaneous LASIK with the Femto LDV Crystal Line femtosecond laser (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG) used to create a circular flap of 9.0-mm diameter and 110-μm thickness followed by photoablation with the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q (WaveLight AG) excimer laser.
Purpose: To evaluate the endothelial cell density (ECD) change after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using IntraLase FS30® and the influence of anterior chamber gas bubbles (AC gas bubbles) produced during flap creation on the corneal endothelium during the excimer laser ablation.
Methods: Myopic LASIK was performed in 436 eyes of 252 patients at Shinagawa LASIK Center. Average age was 32.

Methods: In a prospective, randomized, single-center clinical trial, 51 consecutive eyes underwent LASIK for the treatment of hyperopia. Eyes were divided between groups treated with conventional LASIK with the Alcon LADAR4000 excimer laser (n=25) and wavefront-optimized LASIK with the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO excimer laser (n=26).

Methods: In a prospective, randomized, contralateral, single-center clinical trial, 25 patients (mean age: 30+/-5 years [range: 21 to 38 years]) underwent PRK in one eye and thin-flap LASIK in the fellow eye for the correction of myopia using a wavefront-guided platform. The central corneal endothelial cell density was measured using the NIDEK Confoscan 4 preoperatively, and at 1 and 3 months postoperatively.
