Topography-Guided Customized PRK Versus Q-value Adjusted PRK in Correction of Myopia With or Without Astigmatism

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Myopia
Interventions
Procedure: PRK
Registration Number
NCT03291873
Lead Sponsor
Kasr El Aini Hospital
Brief Summary

This study will include patients who will undergo PRK in both eyes, for each patient each eye will be randomly allocated to one of 2 procedures:

topography-guided ablation in one eye (group I) and Q-factor customized ablation in the other eye (group II).

Alcon/Wavelight Light Laser Technolo¬gie (GmbH, Erlangen, Germany) will be used for photoablation.

The wavelight Topolyzer (Wavelight AG, Erlan¬gen, Germany)and CSO Sirius scheimpflug camera combined with Placido corneal topography (CSO, Florence,Italy) will be used before and 1, 3 and 6 months after PRK. Refrac¬tive visual outcomes and corneal aberration changes will be compared between the two treatment modalities.
