Case report of a uniocular topography guided laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis enhancement following an incorrectly treated astigmatic axis

A 23-year-old male presented to us wanting spectacle removal for cosmetic purposes. He underwent bilateral wavefront optimized (WFO) laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the Alcon Wavelight(®) EX-500 excimer laser with an incorrectly treated astigmatism axis for left eye due to a manual...

description A 23-year-old male presented to us wanting spectacle removal for cosmetic purposes. He underwent bilateral wavefront optimized (WFO) laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the Alcon Wavelight(®) EX-500 excimer laser with an incorrectly treated astigmatism axis for left eye due to a manual data entry error in the laser. WFO LASIK treats the sphere and cylinder only. LASIK enhancement with topographic-guided ablation resulted in the elimination of all refractive errors and gave excellent results. Wavelight(®) topographic-guided treatment can perform two separate layers of correction in the same ablation: The first is to treat the corneal irregularities for the higher order aberration (HOA) removal, the second one meant to treat the sphere and cylinder if indicated.
