RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate refractive outcomes of myopic femtosecond LASIK at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective study of patients who underwent femtosecond LASIK at SiLASIK center Siriraj hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand,from April 2009 to April 2010 was conducted. All patients had completely normal preoperative eye examination. All LASIK procedures were performed using Intralase femtosecond laser (Abbott Medical Optics Inc (AMO)) and VISX star S4 excimer laser (AMO). Postoperative follow-up included visual acuity (ETDRS chart) and manifest refraction at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. The flap thickness was evaluated at 3 months using Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT Carl Zeiss Meditec). RESULTS: One hundred and twenty eight eyes of 64 patients were included in the study. Mean preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) was -5.47 +/- 2.28 diopters (range, -1.88 to -12.63 diopters). At 3 months post-operation, the MRSE was -0.26 +/- 0.39 diopters (range, + 0.25 to -2.00 diopters) and 95.31% were within + 1.00 diopter of intended correction. There was 98% of eyes achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) 20/40 or better and 73% achieved UD VA 20/20 or better There was 31% of eyes gained one line and 15% lost 1 line of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA). The mean error of flap thickness (difference between actual and intended central flap thickness) was + 0.23 +/- 1.77 microm for 120 microm flap setting and + 0.22 +/- 0.97 microm for 110 microm flap setting. The flap morphology was planar configuration. CONCLUSION: Myopic femtosecond LASIK at Siriraj Hospital provided satisfactory refractive outcomes and high accuracy of the flap thickness.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of posterior corneal curvature and posterior corneal elevation best-fit sphere (BFS) obtained with the Visante Omni (Carl Zeiss Meditec) and to compare the results with the Orbscan II (Bausch & Lomb). METHODS: Thirty eyes from 30 healthy volunteers were included in this study. All patients were examined 5 times with the Visante Omni and Orbscan II by 2 independent operators. The posterior corneal curvature (3- and 6-mm zone) and posterior corneal elevation BFS (5- and 8-mm zone) were generated for each system. Intraoperator repeatability and interoperator reproducibility and agreement between the systems were evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman method. RESULTS: The repeatability of posterior corneal curvature and posterior corneal elevation BFS measured by the Visante Omni was high for all analysis zones (ICC, 0.99 to 1.00). The reproducibility also showed similar results (ICC, 0.99 to 1.00). Agreement between the Visante Omni and Orbscan II was high for posterior corneal curvature (ICC, 0.94 to 0.97) and posterior corneal elevation BFS (ICC, 0.96 to 0.98) with 95% limits of agreement at -0.26 to 0.22 diopters for posterior corneal curvature and 0.11 to 0.69 mm for posterior corneal elevation BFS. CONCLUSIONS: The Visante Omni provides good repeatability and reproducibility of posterior corneal topography. Overall agreement with the Orbscan II system was high.
