Purpose: To compare the safety and efficacy of individualized ray-tracing-guided femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind, contralateral eye study included 68 eyes of 34 patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism requiring FS-LASIK treatment. For each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to receive the ray-tracing-guided treatment, whereas the contralateral eye underwent Q-value-adjusted ablation.
Purpose: To present the outcomes and detail the surgical procedure employed in the initial 102 eyes treated with keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) using the FEMTO LDV Z8 platform (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 102 eyes of 53 patients treated with KLEx at the American University of Beirut Medical Center. Visual, refractive, topographic, and aberrometric parameters were evaluated 1 week and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
Efficacy of gabapentin and pregabalin for treatment of post refractive surgery pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Eye discomfort is a significant issue for patients after refractive eye surgeries, and a systematic review evaluated the pain relief effectiveness of pregabalin and gabapentin for this purpose.
- Six studies involving 391 patients highlighted that pregabalin was more effective than a placebo on the first two postoperative days, while gabapentin had notable effectiveness by the second day only.
- Both medications were found to safely reduce pain without increasing adverse events, suggesting the need for more research for improved long-term pain management strategies in ophthalmic care.
Clinical safety and efficacy of elliptical thin-flap LASIK using a low-pulse energy femtosecond laser.

Universal Eye Center, Da'an Dist., Taipei City, 106021, Taiwan (R.O.C.).
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of elliptical thin-flap LASIK surgery using a low-pulse energy femtosecond laser across three different corneal flap thicknesses (85, 90, and 100 μm).
- A total of 80 patients who received bilateral LASIK surgery in Taiwan showed impressive results, with 96% achieving 20/20 vision or better at one month post-surgery.
- The procedure was deemed safe, with no complications reported, and the flap thickness was predictably achieved across all thickness subgroups.

Background: To evaluate clinical outcomes and visual quality 3 months after mini-monovision (spherical equivalent [SE] between - 0.25 D and - 0.50 D) femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for correction of high myopia in patients with presbyopia.
