Corneal Aberrations and Visual Acuity After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis: Femtosecond Laser Versus Mechanical Microkeratome
● PURPOSE: To compare corneal high-order aberrations and visual acuity after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with the flap created by a femtosecond laser (bladeless) to LASIK with the flap created by a mechanical microkeratome.
● DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, paired-eye study.
●CONCLUSIONS: The planar configuration of the femtosecond laser flap did not offer any advantage in corneal high-order aberrations or visual acuity through 3 years after LASIK. Corneal high-order aberrations remain stable through 3 years after LASIK.
