3 3 LASIK Quality of Life Collaboration Project Phase Objective Location Pilot Phase I To compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of subjects using web-based questionnaires versus paper versions of the same validated questionnaires. To design a web-based instrument for assessing PROs appropriate for the evaluation of HRQOL issues in LASIK patients. Conducted at NEI Conducted by EMMES (NEI CRO) Phase IA To conduct cognitive interviews to ensure ease of question understanding, user-friendly format, and comprehensive coverage of issues related to LASIK Conducted by RAND through EMMES Phase II (PROWL-1) To determine an initial estimate of the prevalence of post- LASIK PROs in a select patient population of naval LASIK patients as well as a step in the validation of the questionnaire Conducted at Navy site, San Diego Phase III (PROWL-2) To further validate the newly developed questionnaire in the general population Conducted as a national multicenter NEI Intramural clinical study

6 6 Phase I Questionnaire Development Literature, media, and citizen reports used to identify concepts and potential questionnaires Published questionnaires were assessed for measures of interpretability (validity) and reliability and incorporated as appropriate» Obtained permission to use copyrighted items Concepts for which there were no available questionnaires, empiric questions and illustrative images were developed and tested in an informal and formal group of clinicians and patients
7 Questionnaire Components Vision quality Symptoms of aberration (glare, halos, starbursts, ghosting)* Work productivity Dry eye symptoms Depressive/anxiety symptoms Optimism Coping Expectations prior to surgery Satisfaction after surgery Social Desirability * PROWL-2 wording slightly modified based on PROWL-1 7
8 Example of Visual Symptom Aberration Item INSTRUCTIONS: The next few questions are about starbursts. By starbursts, we mean seeing rays of light coming out from lighted objects, such as in the car headlights in the images below. These images may not represent exactly what you see and your symptoms may be more or less severe than what is shown. No starbursts Severe starbursts In the last 7 days, have you seen any starbursts? 1. Yes, but ONLY when NOT wearing glasses or contact lenses 2. Yes, but ONLY when wearing glasses or contact lenses 3. Yes, when wearing AND when not wearing glasses or contact lenses 4. No, not at all 8
9 9 PROWL-1 Conducted at Navy Refractive Surgery Center San Diego» Active duty military patients» No cost to patients» Standardized approach
10 10 PROWL-2 Sites selected using criteria listed in NEI Request for Proposals (RFP)» Infrastructure for clinical research (facilities and personnel)» Certified on their laser platforms and perform at least 50 LASIK surgeries/month» Experience recruiting and retaining subjects Conducted at 5 clinical sites across U.S.» 20/20 Institute (Indiana)» Durrie Vision (Kansas)» Johns Hopkins University (Maryland)» Stanford University (California)» Vance Thompson Vision (South Dakota)
11 Technology utilized Excimer laser brands used in the study represented those with the largest market share*» Wave-front guided» Wave-front optimized» Conventional (PROWL 2 only) *Market share estimates provided by Market Scope, LLC based upon 2nd quarter 2014 survey data 11
