PURPOSE: To evaluate safety, efficacy, ergonomy, and refractive and keratometric stability in high myopia LASIK procedures using a novel femtosecond and excimer laser surgery platform.METHODS: One hundred sixteen eyes in consecutive cases of high myopic LASIK (>= -6.00 diopters [D]) with the Alcon-WaveLight FS200 femtosecond and EX500 excimer lasers (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX) were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively for the following parameters: refractive error, corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected distance visual acuity, spherical equivalent correction, keratometry (with Placido topography and Scheimpflug tomography), and refractive astigmatism. Average follow-up time was 6.2 months (range: 3 to 12 months).RESULTS: Postoperative average refractive error was -0.37, -0.43, and -0.25 D for the 3-, 6-, and 12-month period, compared to -7.67 +/- 1.55 D preoperatively. At 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively 94%, 96.3%, and 100% of eyes, respectively, were within 1.0 D defocus equivalent. Postoperative refractive astigmatism was -0.21, -0.21, -0.13 D for the 3-, 6-, and 12-month period compared to -1.07 +/- 1.91 D preoperatively. The proportion of eyes with postoperative astigmatism within 0.25 D was 85.3%, 81.5%, and 100%, for the 3-, 6-, and 12-month visit, respectively. Keratometric stability was within 0.22 D after the 12-month visit. There was no epithelial ingrowth or diffuse lamellar keratitis in any case.CONCLUSIONS: Clinical outcomes with this technique and technology appear to be promising in high level uncorrected visual rehabilitation of high myopia. There was small regression potential in the sample evaluated.
