Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the early visual quality, specifically low contrast acuity (LCVA), between two types of eye surgery: SMILE and LASIK.
- The analysis involved military personnel who underwent either SMILE or two types of LASIK (wavefront-guided and wavefront-optimized), evaluating their night vision and LCVA up to three months after surgery.
- Results showed that LASIK patients had better night vision and photopic LCVA at one month compared to SMILE patients, while WFO LASIK had mixed results at three months, indicating that LASIK might lead to faster recovery of visual quality than SMILE.
Purpose: To assess early visual outcomes and military task performance after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) among U.S. military service members.

Setting: Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program and Research Center, Fort Belvoir, VA.
Design: Retrospective study.
Background: This study evaluated the VIsion PERformance (VIPER) simulator's ability to assess the functional visual performance in warfighters conducting civilian and military tasks.
Methods: Thirty service members, aged 25-35 years old with a best corrected distance visual acuity (VA) better than or equal to 20/20 or logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) 0.00, were randomized to locate and identify road signs and mock improvised explosive devices (IEDs) under either daytime conditions or with infrared imagery, with (cc) and without (sc) wearing their habitual correction.
Purpose: To assess vision-related quality of life and military readiness and capabilities among active duty U.S. military service members undergoing refractive surgery.

Methods: In a prospective, randomized clinical trial, 215 participants with myopia ranging from -0.50 to -7.
Purpose: To compare visual outcomes following Visx Star S4 Customvue wavefront-guided and Allegretto Wave Eye-Q 400 Hz wavefront-optimized photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Setting: Warfighter Refractive Eye Surgery Program and Research Center, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Design: Prospective randomized clinical trial.
Purpose: To report the results of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in patients with pigment dispersion syndrome.
Methods: The pre- and postoperative records of patients with pigment dispersion syndrome who underwent PRK between January 2002 and March 2009 were reviewed. Data for analysis included gender, age, ablation depth, surgical complications, manifest refraction spherical equivalent, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), cup-to-disc (c/d) ratio, and postoperative complications.
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of oral gabapentin versus placebo for the control of severe pain after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Setting: Center for Refractive Surgery, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA.
Design: Randomized masked clinical trial.
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative healing between bandage contact lenses with high and low oxygen permeability in patients having photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Setting: Center for Refractive Surgery, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA.
Methods: This retrospective study compared patients receiving a high-oxygen-transmission bandage contact lens (Focus Night & Day [N&D], Ciba Vision; n = 92) and those receiving a low-oxygen-transmission lens (Proclear, Cooper Vision; n = 114) after PRK.
