- W1970219689 abstract "Background: The predictability of LASIK refractive surgery is important both to the patient and the surgeon in obtaining an optimal result and in reducing the need for enhancement surgery. Some instruments, large ablation zones and possibly other variables may increase hyperopic overcorrection. Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken of 345 myopic LASIK eyes (175 patients) treated with a Nidek EC‐5000. The need for additional surgery in the form of an enhancement was determined after the patient had a stable refraction. The variables measured in the study were the patient's refractive correction, corneal curvature using an Alcon EH‐290 topographer, the patient's age and Nidek excimer laser ablation optic and transition zone size. The same nomogram was used for all eyes and where possible bilateral surgery was conducted on all patients. The effect of ablation sizes, refractive errors, patient age and corneal curvature on the enhancement surgeries was evaluated using SPSS 6.0. Results: The most significant variable that precipitated a LASIK enhancement was an optic zone of 6.5 mm with a transition zone of 7.5 mm (paired t‐test, p < 0.0025). Multivariate analysis indicates that the older the patient and the larger the refractive error, the greater the risk of not achieving a residual refractive error of ± 0.50 D at three months. The steeper pre‐operative corneas have a greater chance of enhancement (mean of sample 44.48 ± 1.47 D and mean of enhancements 45.30 ± 1.65 D, p = 0.01, independent sample test). The smaller optic zone was associated with a smaller refractive over‐refraction after LASIK surgery (mean for 5.5 mm optic zone, +0.71 ± 0.29 D; mean, for 6.5 mm optic +1.27 ± 0.50 D, paired t‐test p < 0.0001). Conclusions: In this study, the 5.5 mm optic zone appears to dampen or reduce the undesirable refractive results. The optic zone size of choice with the Nidek EC‐5000 laser should be 5.5 mm if the patient has small pupils and steep corneas. In this sample, the targeted emmetropic refractive state (range piano to +0.50 D sphere and piano to ‐0.50 D cylinder) was achieved in 93.3 per cent of cases after three months." @default.
