Hög- och lågkontrast visus skillnad med clariti® 1day och clariti® 1day toric vid -0,75 DCPllashniku, Altina January 2016 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om en sfärisk endagars silikonhydrogel lins (clariti® 1day) vid sporadiska tillfällen kan ordineras istället för en torisk endagars silikonhydrogel lins (clariti® 1day toric) vid -0,75 DC i astigmatism. Metod: I studien undersöktes 26 personer varav 14 kunde delta. Deltagarnas ålder var mellan 18-40 år. Mätningarna genomfördes på 14 vänster ögon med astigmatism på -0,75 DC. Kontaktlinserna som testades var clariti® 1day och clariti® 1day toric. Ett biomikroskop användes för att mäta inklinationen på linserna, undersöka central och korneal täckning samt passform och rörelse i olika led. Även undersökning med flouresecin och blått ljus utfördes på mätögat för att se om signifikanta stainings fanns(≥ grad 2). En ETDRS logMAR syntavla på 4 meters avstånd användes för att mäta hög (100%) – och lågkontrast (10%). Resultat: Resultatet av denna studie visar ingen klinisk signifikant skillnad i visus dock blev det visusförändringar vid både hög – och lågkontrast mätningar. En förbättring med 0,08 logMAR (4 optotyper) påträffades med de toriska linserna jämfört med de sfäriska vid högkontrast visusmätningar samt 0,03 logMAR (1,5 optotyp) bättre med de toriska vid lågkontrast visusmätningar. Slutsats: Denna studie visar ingen klinisk signifikant skillnad i visus mellan clariti® 1day och clariti® 1day toric. Dock blev det visusförändringar med de toriska linserna vid både hög – och lågkontrast mätningar med 1,5-4 optotyper mer. / The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a significant difference in visual acuity or not between a spherical one day silicone hydrogel lenses (clariti® 1day) and a toric one day silicone hydrogel lenses (clariti® 1day toric). The study was conducted with the help of an ETDRS logMAR chart, with a testing distance of 4 meters. Both high and low contrast visual acuity was examined. If no statistical significant difference is showed between these two lenses then clariti® 1day may be prescribed instead of clariti® 1day toric, in some infrequently occasion as short vacations. Toric lenses could be harder to find in stores then the spherical lenses, if needed right away. The toric lenses could also be more expensive than the spherical lenses. If clariti® 1day could be prescribed for some occasions and still be able to maintain a good visual acuity when using them, then it might be possible to prescribe them when needed right away. In this study overall 26 eyes were tested, out of which 12 were excluded in the inclusion criteria due to that the participants had more or less astigmatism than what was needed or they had the astigmatism in the right eye. A total of 14 left eyes were examined. Two of the participants were men and 12 were women. All the participants had a cylinder of -0.75 D in the left eye. The participant were first corrected with a clariti® 1day spherical lens using their spherical eqvivalent power and after that with a torical lens (clariti® 1day toric). Both high and low contrast visual acuity were measured monoculary with both lenses in a photopic lightning. The study showed that the visual acuity in both high and low contrast was 1,5-4 letters better with the torical lenses than with the spherical lenses, even with -0.75 D astigmatism. However in this study there is no statistical significant improvement in visual acuity at a cylinder of -0,75D in either high or low contrast visual acuity measurements. That could be due to a small amount of participants in this study.

Ceractomia fotorrefrativa (PRK) com mitomicina C baseada na análise de frentes de onda corneanas para o tratamento da hipermetropia consecutiva à ceratotomia radial / Corneal wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with adjunctive mitomycin C (MMC) for the treatment of hyperopia after radial keratotomyGhanem, Ramon Coral 12 November 2010 (has links)
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia, estabilidade, previsibilidade e segurança da ceratectomia fotorrefrativa (PRK) guiada pelas frentes de onda corneana para o tratamento da hipermetropia secundária à ceratotomia radial (CR). MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados prospectivamente 61 olhos de 39 pacientes consecutivos, submetidos a PRK personalizado com o laser Esiris-Schwind. A técnica constou de desepitelização mecânica, fotoablação, e utilização de mitomicina C (MMC) 0,02% por 20 ou 40 segundos. A MMC foi aplicada por 40 segundos em 17 olhos (27,9%) que haviam sido submetidos a ablações mais profundas do que 100 ?m ou apresentavam córneas previamente suturadas. As avaliações pós-operatórias foram realizadas após sete dias, um, seis, 12 e 24 meses. Todos os olhos foram avaliados após um ano e dois anos. RESULTADOS: O intervalo médio entre a CR e o PRK foi de 18,8 anos ± 3,8 (DP); o equivalente esférico (EE) médio antes da ceratotomia radial era -4,10 dioptrias (D) ± 1,44. As medidas prévias ao PRK mostraram EE médio de +4,17 D ± 1,97; astigmatismo médio de -1,39 D ± 1,04; AV com correção (AVcc) média de 0,161 ± 0,137 (logMAR); e curvatura corneana média de 35,85 ± 3,60 D. Os resultados encontrados dois anos após a cirurgia foram: EE médio de 0,14 ± 0,99 D (p < 0,001); astigmatismo médio de -1,19 ± 1,02 D (p = 0,627); AV sem correção (AVsc) média de 0,265 ± 0,196 (p < 0,001); AVcc média de 0,072 ± 0,094 (p < 0,001); e curvatura corneana média de 39,01 ± 3,18 D (p < 0,001). AVsc igual ou melhor a 20/25 foi observada em 38% dos olhos e igual ou melhor a 20/40 em 69%. A AVcc melhorou em 62,3% dos olhos, sendo que 21 olhos (34,4%) melhoraram uma linha e outros 17 olhos (27,9%), duas ou mais linhas. Um olho (1,6%) perdeu duas linhas devido ao astigmatismo irregular ocasionado por opacificação corneana periférica. Outro olho perdeu três linhas pelo desenvolvimento de ectasia corneana entre seis e 24 meses, devido ao alargamento progressivo de uma incisão radial inferior, e foi posteriormente submetido à sutura da incisão. Houve 30 olhos (49,2%) entre ± 0,50 D do EE planejado e 45 (73,8%) entre ± 1,00 D. Entre seis e 24 meses, a regressão média do EE foi de +0,39 D (p < 0,05) e cinco olhos (8,3%) sofreram desvio hipermetrópico > 1,00 D. Ocorreu redução estatisticamente significante do coma (p = 0,001), trefoil (p = 0,008), aberração esférica (p < 0,001), astigmatismo secundário (p = 0,001) e quatrefoil (p < 0,001). Não houve mudança estatisticamente significativa da contagem endotelial (p = 0,161). Dois olhos (3,3%) desenvolveram opacificação corneana periférica grau 2 e um, grau 3. CONCLUSÃO: O PRK personalizado pelas frentes de onda corneana coadjuvado pela MMC foi eficaz, previsível e seguro pelo período de dois anos para a redução da hipermetropia após a CR. No pós-operatório observou-se melhora significativa da AVsc, AVcc e das aberrações corneanas. Constatou-se, entretanto, que a hipermetropia consecutiva à CR continua a progredir após o tratamento com o excimer laser. / PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy, stability, predictability and safety of corneal wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correcting hyperopia after radial keratotomy (RK). METHODS: In a prospective study, 61 eyes of 39 consecutive patients were treated with PRK using an Esiris-Schwind excimer laser. Corneal epithelium was mechanically removed, followed by photoablation and use of 0.02% mitomycin C (MMC) for 20 or 40 seconds. MMC was used for 40 seconds in 18 eyes (27.9%) which underwent ablations deeper than 100 micron or had previous corneal sutures. Postoperative evaluations were performed after seven days, six, 12 and 24 months. All patients were followed up for two years. RESULTS: The mean time between RK and PRK was 18.8 years ± 3.8 (SD); mean spherical equivalent (SE) before RK was -4.10 diopters (D) ± 1.44. Before PRK, the mean SE was +4.17 D ± 1.97, mean astigmatism was -1.39 D ± 1.04, the mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.161 ± 0.137 (logMAR) and the mean corneal curvature was 35.85 ± 3.60 D. At 24 months, mean SE was 0.14 ± 0.99 D (p < 0.001), mean astigmatism was -1.19 ± 1.02 D (p = 0.627), mean UCVA was 0.265 ± 0.196 (p < 0.001), mean BSCVA was 0.072 ± 0.094 (p < 0.001) and the mean corneal curvature was 39.01 ± 3.18 D (p < 0.001). UCVA was 20/25 or better in 38% of eyes and 20/40 or better in 69%. BCVA improved in 62.3% of eyes, with 21 (34.4%) gaining one line and 17 (27.9%), two or more lines. One eye (1.6%) lost two lines due to irregular astigmatism and peripheral haze. Another eye lost three lines due to keratectasia occurring between six and 24 months resulting from widening of an inferior radial incision that was later sutured. Thirty eyes (49.2%) were within ± 0.50 D of intended SE and 45 (73.8%) were within ± 1.00 D. From six to 24 months, the mean SE regression was +0.39 D (p < 0.05) and five eyes (8.3%) had a hyperopic shift > 1.00 D. A significant decrease in coma (p = 0.001), trefoil (p = 0.008), spherical aberration (p < 0.001), secondary astigmatism (p = 0.001) and quatrefoil (p < 0.001) was observed. Endothelial cell counts did not show a statistically significant decrease (p = 0.161). Two eyes (3.3%) developed peripheral haze grade 2 and one, grade 3. CONCLUSION: Corneal wavefront-guided PRK with MMC was effective, predictable and safe after two years for the treatment of hyperopia after RK. A significant improvement in UCVA, BSCVA and corneal aberrations was obtained. However, hyperopic shift after RK continued to progress after excimer laser surgery.

Corneal topography and the morphology of the palpebral fissureRead, Scott A. January 2006 (has links)
The notion that forces from the eyelids can alter the shape of the cornea has been proposed for many years. In recent times, there has been a marked improvement in our ability to measure and define the corneal shape, allowing subtle changes in the cornea to be measured. These improvements have led to the findings that pressure from the eyelids can cause alterations in corneal shape following everyday visual tasks such as reading. There are also theories to suggest that pressure from the eyelids may be involved in the aetiology of corneal astigmatism. In this program of research, a series of experiments were undertaken to investigate the influence of the eyelids on the shape of the cornea. In the first experiment, an investigation into the diurnal variation of corneal shape was carried out by measuring corneal topography at three different times (approximately 9 am, 1 pm and 5 pm) during the day over three days of the week (Monday, Tuesday and Friday). Highly significant diurnal changes were found to occur in the corneal topography of 15 of the 17 subjects. This change typically consisted of horizontal bands of distortion in the superior, and to a lesser extent, inferior cornea, increasing throughout the day (and returning to baseline the next morning). These changes appeared to be related to forces from the eyelids on the anterior cornea. Some changes were also found in corneal astigmatism. Corneal astigmatism power vector J0 (astigmatism 90/180°) was found to increase slightly over the course of the week. Whilst the changes in astigmatism were small in magnitude, this result leaves open the possibility that pressure from the eyelid may cause changes in corneal astigmatism. If pressure from the eyelids is involved in the aetiology of corneal astigmatism, then one may expect associations to exist between certain characteristics of the eyelids and corneal shape. An experiment was then undertaken to explore these possible associations. We defined the average morphology of the palpebral fissure in different angles of vertical gaze for 100 young normal subjects. This was achieved through analysis of digital images that were captured in primary gaze, 20° downgaze and 40° downgaze. Parameters defining the size, position, angle and contour of the eyelids were determined. Highly significant changes were found to occur in the palpebral fissure with downward gaze. The palpebral aperture narrows in downward gaze, and the angle of the eyelids changes from being slightly upward slanted in primary gaze, to being slightly downward slanted in downward gaze. The eyelid margin contour also flattens significantly in downward gaze. The average topography of the central and peripheral cornea was also defined for this same population. A technique was used that allowed the capture and subsequent combination of topography data from both the central and the peripheral cornea. The use of this technique provided a large corneal topography map, with data extending close to the limbus for each subject. Marked flattening was found to occur in the peripheral cornea and a conic section was found to be a poor descriptor of corneal contour in the periphery (i.e. greater than 6 mm diameter). Corneal astigmatism was also found on average to reduce in the periphery. However a number of distinct patterns of peripheral corneal astigmatism were noted in the population. Corneal astigmatism in the peripheral cornea was either found to remain stable (59% of subjects), increase (10% of subjects) or reduce (31% of subjects) in magnitude in comparison to the amount of central corneal astigmatism. We also investigated associations between the parameters defining the palpebral fissure and parameters describing corneal shape in this population of subjects. A number of highly significant associations were found between the morphology of the palpebral fissure in primary gaze and the shape of the cornea. A general tendency was found for subjects with wider horizontal palpebral fissure widths to exhibit larger corneas and also flatter central corneal powers. There were also highly significant associations found between the angle of the eyelids and the axis of corneal astigmatism, but not the magnitude of corneal astigmatism. The associations found between corneal astigmatism and palpebral fissure morphology is further evidence supporting the hypothesis that pressure from the eyelids is involved in the aetiology of corneal astigmatism. The results of these investigations have shown that corneal changes as a result of eyelid forces occur in the majority of young subjects tested over the course of a normal working day. The average morphology of the palpebral fissure and topography of the central and peripheral cornea has also been defined in detail for a large population of young subjects. Significant associations were found between corneal astigmatism and the morphology of the palpebral fissure. Whilst these results support a model of corneal astigmatism development based on eyelid morphology, they do not prove causation. Further research including measurement of eyelid pressure and corneal rigidity may aid in understanding the exact aetiology of the magnitude and axis of corneal astigmatism.

Dizziness and falls rate changes after routine cataract surgery and the influence of visual and refractive factorsSupuk, Elvira January 2015 (has links)
Purpose: To determine whether symptoms of dizziness and fall rates change due to routine cataract surgery and to determine the influence of visual and refractive factors on these common problems in older adults. Methods: Self-reported dizziness and falls were determined in 287 subjects (mean age of 76.5±6.3 years, 55% females) before and after routine cataract surgery for the first (81, 28%), second (109, 38%) and both eyes (97, 34%). Six-month falls rates were determined using self-reported retrospective data. Dizziness was determined using the short-form of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory. Results: The number of patients with dizziness reduced significantly after cataract surgery (52% vs. 38%; χ2 = 19.14 , p < 0.001), but the reduction in number of patients who fell in the 6-months post surgery was not significant (23% vs. 20%; χ2= 0.87, p=0.35). Multivariate logistic regression analyses found significant links between post-operative falls and change in spectacle type (increased risk if switched into multifocal spectacles). Post-operative dizziness was associated with changes in best eye visual acuity and changes in oblique astigmatic correction. Conclusions: Dizziness is significantly reduced by cataract surgery and this is linked with improvements in best eye visual acuity, although changes in oblique astigmatic correction increased dizziness. The lack of improvement in falls rate may be associated with switching into multifocal spectacle wear after surgery.

Estudo comparativo entre a ceratectomia fotorrefrativa e a ceratomileusis in situ a laser guiadas pela análise de frente de onda / Comparative study between wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)Barreto Júnior, Jackson 11 June 2010 (has links)
OBJETIVO: Comparar os resultados de duas técnicas cirúrgicas guiadas pela análise de frente de onda, a ceratectomia fotorrefrativa (PRK) e a ceratomileusis in situ a laser (LASIK), para correção da miopia baixa a moderada, associada ou não ao astigmatismo. LOCAL: Setor de Cirurgia Refrativa da Clínica Oftalmológica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo randomizado envolvendo 70 olhos (35 pacientes) submetidos ao LASIK personalizado em um olho e PRK personalizado no olho contralateral para correção de miopia até 5 dioptrias (D) e astigmatismo até 1,5D. Avaliou-se acuidade visual não-corrigida (AVNC), melhor acuidade visual corrigida (MAVC), resultados refratométricos, aberrometria, sensibilidade ao contraste fotópico e mesópico, acuidade visual de baixo contraste (AVBC), qualidade da imagem retiniana (Função de Transferência Modular e Strehl ratio) e espalhamento intraocular de luz (EIL) no período pré-operatório e no 1o, 3o, 6o e 12o mês pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: O equivalente esférico (EE) médio pré-operatório foi -2,57 ± 0,95D no grupo LASIK e, no grupo PRK, -2,52 ± 0,90D (p = 0,722). No 12o mês pósoperatório (PO), EE foi -0,06 ± 0,33D e -0,12 ± 0,41D, respectivamente (p = 0,438). No grupo LASIK, 60,0% dos olhos apresentaram AVNC 20/16 e 96,7% 20/20, e no grupo PRK, 66,6% e 96,7%, respectivamente (p = 0,667). No período pré-operatório, o total das aberrações de alta ordem (HOAs) foi 0,37 ± 0,09 m no grupo LASIK e 0,36 ± 0,11m no grupo PRK (p = 0,752). No 12o mês PO, o total das HOAs foi 0,46 ± 0,21m no grupo LASIK e 0,42 ± 0,14m no grupo PRK (p = 0,438). Tanto o teste de sensibilidade ao contraste fotópico como o mesópico apresentaram resultados semelhantes entre as técnicas, exceto pela freqüência 1,5 ciclos por grau (cpg) do teste mesópico no 12o mês PO, a favor do grupo PRK. Os índices de qualidade da imagem retiniana mostraram comportamento similar entre as técnicas ao longo do seguimento. Não houve aumento significativo do espalhamento intraocular da luz em ambos os grupos, quatro olhos cursaram com aumento transitório. CONCLUSÃO: Dentro das condições deste estudo, ambas as técnicas apresentaram excelentes resultados refratométricos e função visual semelhante. Apesar do tratamento personalizado guiado pela análise de frentes de onda, houve indução das HOAs, de forma similar, tanto no LASIK como no PRK. / PURPOSE: To compare clinical results of two wavefront-guided treatments, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), for low to moderate myopia correction, with or without astigmatism. SETTING: Refractive Surgery Service, General Hospital, University Of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: Prospective randomized study of 70 eyes (35 patients) submitted to custom LASIK and custom PRK (contralateral eye) for myopia up to 5D and astigmatism up to 1,5D. Uncorrected visual acuity (AVNC), best-corrected visual acuity (MAVC), refractive results, wavefront analysis, photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity, low contrast visual acuity (AVBC), retinal image quality (Modulation Transfer Function and Strehl ratio) and intraocular straylight (EIL) were performed preoperatively and at one, three, six and twelve months postoperatively. RESULTS: The mean preoperative spherical equivalent (EE) was -2,57 ± 0,95D in the LASIK group and -2,52 ± 0,90D in the PRK group (p = 0,722). At twelve months postoperatively (PO), the mean EE was -0,06 ± 0,33D and -0,12 ± 0,41D, respectively (p = 0,438). In the LASIK group, 60,0% had AVNC 20/16 and 96,7% 20/20, and in the PRK group, 66,6% e 96,7%, respectively (p = 0,667). The mean pre-treatment total high-order aberrations (HOAs) was 0,37 ± 0,09 m in the LASIK group and 0,36 ± 0,11m in the PRK group (p = 0,752). At twelve months PO, the mean total HOAs was 0,46 ± 0,21m in the LASIK group and 0,42 ± 0,14 m in the PRK group (p = 0,438). No significant difference in photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity between groups was noted, apart from the 1,5 cpg frequency of the mesopic test, favoring PRK, at the 12th month PO. Similar results were found for retinal image quality metrics during the follow-up. No significant increase of the intraocular straylight was found for both techniques, four eyes presented transitory elevations. CONCLUSION: In the conditions of this study, both techniques had excellent refractive results and similar visual function. In spite of the wavefront-guided treatments, HOAs were induced similarly after LASIK and PRK

Visual performance in pseudophakia : the effect of meridional blur in pseudoaccommodationSerra, Pedro Miguel Fernandes Nave January 2013 (has links)
The main aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of meridional blur, using refractive induced astigmatism, on visual performance at far and close distances. Visual performance was evaluated using letter discrimination tasks at distance and near (visual acuity, VA) and a reading task at near on subjects with pharmacologically blocked (young) or absent accommodation (presbyopic and pseudophakic). The effect of astigmatism was tested using positive cylindrical lenses oriented at 180 and 90 degrees, these simulating with- (WTR) and against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism. Other refractive status were also evaluated, namely, in-focus and spherical defocus. The visual performance data were correlated with biometric measurements (pupil size, anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal and ocular aberrations, corneal multifocality, patient age, axial length). Further, the functionality of meridional blur was evaluated for alphabets in addition to the standard Roman alphabet using a VA task. The results confirm that myopic astigmatism contributes to a better visual performance at closer distances, with ATR astigmatism providing higher performance for reading tasks compared to other forms of astigmatism. Anatomical factors such as pupil size, corneal multifocality and ACD were significantly correlated visual performance, while other ocular characteristics were not. Ray tracing modelling using wavefront data was a moderate predictor of VA and reading acuity. The results of the effect of meridional blur orientation on alphabets other than the Roman alphabet, suggest that visual performance is dependent on the interaction between blur orientation and letter's spatial characteristics. In conclusion, pseudoaccommodation is a multifactorial phenomenon with pupil size being the major contributor for the improvement in visual performance. Against-the-rule shows advantages over WTR astigmatism, by providing higher reading performance, however extending the present and previous findings for clinical application will require further investigation on the effect of meridional blur in common and socio-culturally adapted tasks.

Estudo comparativo entre a ceratectomia fotorrefrativa e a ceratomileusis in situ a laser guiadas pela análise de frente de onda / Comparative study between wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)Jackson Barreto Júnior 11 June 2010 (has links)
OBJETIVO: Comparar os resultados de duas técnicas cirúrgicas guiadas pela análise de frente de onda, a ceratectomia fotorrefrativa (PRK) e a ceratomileusis in situ a laser (LASIK), para correção da miopia baixa a moderada, associada ou não ao astigmatismo. LOCAL: Setor de Cirurgia Refrativa da Clínica Oftalmológica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo randomizado envolvendo 70 olhos (35 pacientes) submetidos ao LASIK personalizado em um olho e PRK personalizado no olho contralateral para correção de miopia até 5 dioptrias (D) e astigmatismo até 1,5D. Avaliou-se acuidade visual não-corrigida (AVNC), melhor acuidade visual corrigida (MAVC), resultados refratométricos, aberrometria, sensibilidade ao contraste fotópico e mesópico, acuidade visual de baixo contraste (AVBC), qualidade da imagem retiniana (Função de Transferência Modular e Strehl ratio) e espalhamento intraocular de luz (EIL) no período pré-operatório e no 1o, 3o, 6o e 12o mês pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: O equivalente esférico (EE) médio pré-operatório foi -2,57 ± 0,95D no grupo LASIK e, no grupo PRK, -2,52 ± 0,90D (p = 0,722). No 12o mês pósoperatório (PO), EE foi -0,06 ± 0,33D e -0,12 ± 0,41D, respectivamente (p = 0,438). No grupo LASIK, 60,0% dos olhos apresentaram AVNC 20/16 e 96,7% 20/20, e no grupo PRK, 66,6% e 96,7%, respectivamente (p = 0,667). No período pré-operatório, o total das aberrações de alta ordem (HOAs) foi 0,37 ± 0,09 m no grupo LASIK e 0,36 ± 0,11m no grupo PRK (p = 0,752). No 12o mês PO, o total das HOAs foi 0,46 ± 0,21m no grupo LASIK e 0,42 ± 0,14m no grupo PRK (p = 0,438). Tanto o teste de sensibilidade ao contraste fotópico como o mesópico apresentaram resultados semelhantes entre as técnicas, exceto pela freqüência 1,5 ciclos por grau (cpg) do teste mesópico no 12o mês PO, a favor do grupo PRK. Os índices de qualidade da imagem retiniana mostraram comportamento similar entre as técnicas ao longo do seguimento. Não houve aumento significativo do espalhamento intraocular da luz em ambos os grupos, quatro olhos cursaram com aumento transitório. CONCLUSÃO: Dentro das condições deste estudo, ambas as técnicas apresentaram excelentes resultados refratométricos e função visual semelhante. Apesar do tratamento personalizado guiado pela análise de frentes de onda, houve indução das HOAs, de forma similar, tanto no LASIK como no PRK. / PURPOSE: To compare clinical results of two wavefront-guided treatments, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), for low to moderate myopia correction, with or without astigmatism. SETTING: Refractive Surgery Service, General Hospital, University Of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: Prospective randomized study of 70 eyes (35 patients) submitted to custom LASIK and custom PRK (contralateral eye) for myopia up to 5D and astigmatism up to 1,5D. Uncorrected visual acuity (AVNC), best-corrected visual acuity (MAVC), refractive results, wavefront analysis, photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity, low contrast visual acuity (AVBC), retinal image quality (Modulation Transfer Function and Strehl ratio) and intraocular straylight (EIL) were performed preoperatively and at one, three, six and twelve months postoperatively. RESULTS: The mean preoperative spherical equivalent (EE) was -2,57 ± 0,95D in the LASIK group and -2,52 ± 0,90D in the PRK group (p = 0,722). At twelve months postoperatively (PO), the mean EE was -0,06 ± 0,33D and -0,12 ± 0,41D, respectively (p = 0,438). In the LASIK group, 60,0% had AVNC 20/16 and 96,7% 20/20, and in the PRK group, 66,6% e 96,7%, respectively (p = 0,667). The mean pre-treatment total high-order aberrations (HOAs) was 0,37 ± 0,09 m in the LASIK group and 0,36 ± 0,11m in the PRK group (p = 0,752). At twelve months PO, the mean total HOAs was 0,46 ± 0,21m in the LASIK group and 0,42 ± 0,14 m in the PRK group (p = 0,438). No significant difference in photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity between groups was noted, apart from the 1,5 cpg frequency of the mesopic test, favoring PRK, at the 12th month PO. Similar results were found for retinal image quality metrics during the follow-up.
