| PURPOSE :
To compare CustomVue and conventional LASIK laser vision correction treatments to determine whether significa! nt visual quality improvement exists in CustomVue compared to conventional LASIK.
METHOD :
This retrospective, comparative study of 2 groups of 637 treated patients using either CustomVue or conventional LASIK treatments. In this investigation, 354 eyes of 182 patients received CustomVue LASIK, while 283 eyes of 145 patients received conventional. Patients from both groups were followed for three to six months to compare visual quality improvement results.
RESULTS
Data showing visual quality results achieved with CustomVue vs. conventional laser vision correction procedures will be presented. Measures used will include UCVA, BCVA, higher-order aberrations, patient subject night glare improvement and changes in contrast sensitivity.
CONCLUSION
CustomVue laser vision correction is a better treatment option than conventional LASIK because it not only improves lower-order aberrations, but also meas! ures and attempts to reduce preexisting higher-order aberrations.
