NCT04426175

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that OCT-guided 110 µm targeted flaps will result in accurate, predictable, and precise thickness flaps, with low complication rates when performed and compared using both 2D and 3D flap geometry applications and how it correlated to visual experience and quality of life responses during the early postoperative period.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Predictability of central flap thickness in OCT-controlled 110 µm LASIK

    Analyze central flap thickness in OCT-controlled 110 µm LASIK and to report on intended versus achieved flap thickness of one group with a 2D flap geometry in one eye and another group with a 3D flap geometry in the contralateral eye. All OCT measurements will be done in micron metres (µm).

    1 month postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Comparison of intraoperative flap thickness with pre- and postoperative results

    1 week, 1 month

  • Postoperative planarity

    1 week, 1 month

  • Intraoperative flap morphology

    During surgery

  • Postoperative flap properties

    1 week, 1 month

  • Visual outcomes

    1 day, 1 week, 1 month

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

2D LASIK

EXPERIMENTAL

With the 2D method, the flap resection is created in a planar mode (xy-plane), without vertical cut, at the requested depth.

Device: 2D and 3D cutting method using a low energy Femtosecond laser LDV Z8 for LASIK flap cutting

3D LASIK

EXPERIMENTAL

With the 3D method, the flap resection is done in a three-dimensional mode, at the requested depth, with the requested diameter and the desired border (side cut) angle

Device: 2D and 3D cutting method using a low energy Femtosecond laser LDV Z8 for LASIK flap cutting

Interventions

2D and 3D cutting methods were randomly used in same subjects

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The recommended range of application for the correction of myopia is up to -8.00 D and for the correction of astigmatism up to 5.00 D.
  • The limited for LASIK correction of myopia is up to -10.00 D and correction of astigmatism up to 6.00 D. If myopic astigmatism is to be corrected, the values for myopia and astigmatism must be added together.
  • The recommended range for correction of hyperopia is up to 3.00 D. Up to 4.00 D is the range of limited application for hyperopia.
  • Age ≥18 years with stable eyesight for over 12 months.

You may not qualify if:

  • preoperative corneal thickness less than 480 μm
  • predicted stromal thickness under the flap after ablation of less than 250 μm
  • chronic progressive corneal disease and forme fruste keratoconus
  • surgery before the age of 18 years
  • symptomatic cataract
  • Glaucoma with a marked loss of visual field
  • Exudative macular degeneration.
  • Concurrent participation in another ophthalmological clinical study
  • Undergone former eye surgery
  • Contact lens wear within the two weeks prior to commencement of preoperative measurements
