These eyes were followed for six-months. Outcomes included: measurements of vision, refraction, residual higher-order aberrations, residual lower-order and higher-order aberrations, as well as loss or gains of lines of best-corrected visual acuity.Results: All eyes had decreased corneal irregularity as evidenced by topographic analysis and reduction in manifest astigmatism, Contoura-measured astigmatism, higher-order aberrations, and higher-order aberrations grouped with lower-order aberrations excluding tilt (Grouped). The eyes of 5 sample patients are included in this manuscript to demonstrate the procedure, protocol, and outcomes.Conclusion: Treatment with WaveLight Contoura whether as LASIK or PRK appears to be an effective treatment for corneal irregularity associated with radial/astigmatic keratotomy.Keywords: WaveLight Contoura, topographic-guided ablation, LASIK, PRK, uniform cornea, measured astigmatism, radial keratotomy |
