Study of change in contrast sensitivity in relation to depth of ablation after wavefront optimized myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis

PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to study the change in contrast sensitivity (CS) in relation to depth of stromal ablation after wavefront-optimized (WFO) myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: This was as prospective, longitudinal, comparative study. The study participants were divi...

description PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to study the change in contrast sensitivity (CS) in relation to depth of stromal ablation after wavefront-optimized (WFO) myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: This was as prospective, longitudinal, comparative study. The study participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 ≤50 μ ablation depth; 60 eyes and group 2 >50 μ ablation depth; 60 eyes. All underwent WFO LASIK. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA) and CS were measured preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 2 and 6 months. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), Unpaired t test and one-way repeated measures ANOVA were used to test differences across time periods within each treatment group. A value of P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS: The mean ablation depths in groups 1 and 2 were 39.30 μ ± 7.22 μ and 69.90 μ ± 12.09 μ, respectively; the maximum depth was 94.62 μ. In group 1, the preoperative mean CS was 1.91 ± 0.07, which improved postoperatively at 1 week (1.93 ± 0.06) and remained stable in subsequent follow-ups (1.94 ± 0.05). In group 2, the mean CS preoperatively was 1.87 ± 0.12, which postoperatively at 1 week and 6 months were 1.93 ± 0.07 and 1.94 ± 0.03, respectively (P < 0.05). Between the groups, preoperative CS was significantly different (P = 0.04), but the change in CS post-LASIK was insignificant (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: There was a significant improvement in CS after WFO myopic LASIK in all patients irrespective of ablation depth (up to 94.62 μ).
