NCT02550353

Brief Summary

The aim is to evaluate the short-term changes in ocular surface measures and tear inflammatory mediators after lenticule extraction (FLEx) and femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) procedures.

lenticule extraction

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in this group chose to receive the lenticule extraction surgery

Procedure: lenticule extraction

FS assisted laser in situ keratomileusis

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in this group chose to receive the femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis surgery.

Procedure: femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis

Interventions

Four femtosecond incisions were created in succession: the posterior surface of the refractive lenticule (spiral in), the lenticule border, the anterior surface of the refractive lenticule (spiral out), and the corneal flap in the superior region. After the suction was released, the flap was opened using a thin, blunt spatula and the free refractive lenticule was subsequently grasped with a forceps and extracted, after which the flap was repositioned carefully.

lenticule extraction

track distance and spot distance were 3.0 μm during flap creation and 1.5 μm during flap side-cutting. The flap diameter was 8.0 mm, and flap thickness was set to 105 μm. Side-cut angle and hinge angle were 90°and 50° respectively. The flaps were created by laser scanning in spirals from the periphery to the center of the pupil. An excimer laser system was used in the subsequent ablation of the stromal bed with a 6.0 mm optical zone. Once the excimer ablation was completed, the flap was repositioned in a similar fashion as in routine LASIK.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 30 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • minimum age of 18 years(range from 18 year to 25 years)
  • corneal thickness 500 μm with calculated residual stromal bed after treatment greater than 300 μm
  • preoperative spherical equivalent refraction between- 2.00 diopter (D) and -6.50 D.preoperative cylindrical equivalent refraction between -0.25 D and -1.50 D.
  • preoperative corneal curvature from 41.0 D to 46.0 D with a regular topographic pattern monocular best corrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better and stable refractive error (less than 0.5 D change) for 24 months before surgery。

You may not qualify if:
