Induced IOP < 50 mmhg
PURPOSE Prospective study on 60 patients (120 eyes) who underwent LASIK procedure with flap creation either with Moria One Use-PlusSBKmechanical microkeratome or Ziemer FEMTO LDV laser for evaluation of flap and stromal bed quality, visual and refractive outcome and patients satisfaction.
PATIENTS 60 patients (120 eyes) divided in two groups First group underwent LASIK surgery with Moria One- Use PlusSBK, and the other group underwent LASIK surgery using LDV Femtolaser for flap creation Mean age in both groups was 35 ±15 years Mean SE was -6.00 D (ranging from -9.00 to +3.00 D) Mean corneal thickness was 540±40μm Mean keratometry values were 44±4D. All curvature and elevation maps were normal. Patients denied any previous ocular or sistemic conditions and slit lamp biomicroscopy was unremarkable.
METHODS Evaluation of flap profile with Pentacam and Anterior Visante OCT in several axis Complication rate (intraoperative and postoperative) Time of procedure Quality of resection, flap and stromal bed quality Visual outcome at Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, and Month 3 after the surgery Patients pain/discomfort during the surgery and in first hours and days after the surgery Postoperative dry eye (Schirmer test, patients questionaire)

CONCLUSION Visual and refractive results in myopic cases were the same in both groups ONE USE-PLUS SBK slightly results in flap and corneal bed quality, intraoperative visibility, easier handling and less patients discomfort during the surgery sligthly weaker results in hyperopic cases due to dependency of ring and ablation zone sizing according to K values and nasal flap orientation
CONCLUSION 1 FEMTO LDV Better result in hyperopic cases due to wider corneal bed and ablation zone independent on K values The bigest disadvantage is too long blackout phenomena (55 sec vs 8 sec), poor intraoperative visibility and patients discomfort
