First Results: Munnerlyn Ablation Profile

• Early ablation profiles often induced:
– Night Vision disturbances
– Decreased contrast sensitivity
• Limited the range of treatable refractions
• PROBLEM: Induction of spherical aberration

Ablation Profile Design: Aspheric Profiles
• Barraquer 1980
– Suggested parabolic keratomileusis

• Seiler 1993 – PRK aspheric profiles
– Less starburst & halos
– Larger effective clear optical zone size

Why was spherical aberration
increasing?

Optimization: Fluence correction
• Fluence correction: Topography
– Beam reflection compensation
– Beam projection compensation

Free Lunch?

• Increasing ablation zone diameter
• Adding asphericity

• Increases central
ablation depth
• No “Free Lunch”

©DZ Reinstein 2009

550 µm Pachymetry: Forces Compromise
• Modern aspheric ablation profiles still induce spherical
aberration
• Problem: high myopic corrections may result in NVDs

Pre-Compensate for Spherical Aberration

• “Q-slider”
– (WaveLight)
• Wavefront-guided ablation
– Includes pre-op spherical aberration
– Effect dependent on pre-op spherical aberration

• Our Approach: Include an “artificial” wavefront
– Isolate spherical aberration: Z(4,0) as the only coefficient
– Z(4,0) coefficient proportional to expected induction
– Increase Z(4,0) coefficient: wavefront only 20% effective

New Profile for High Myopia

• Non-linear aspheric ablation profile:
– Increased peripheral ablation (not ↑ z(4,0))
– Reduced induction of spherical aberration
– Free lunch: some myopia corrected due to central
flattening

Extend this concept further to promote central flattening
Ability to correct high myopia without risk of NVDs

Femtosecond Lasers
• Femtosecond lasers have improved flap thickness
reproducibility (VisuMax SD: 8 µm)
• We can create thinner flaps (VisuMax: 80 µm)
• Thinner flaps extends the range of myopia in LASIK

New Profile for High Myopia

• Patients
– Myopia SEQ -9.51 ± 1.32 D -8.00 up to -14.50 D
– Myopia max merid -10.18 ± 1.48 D -8.00 up to -16.00 D
– Cylinder -1.32 ± 1.10 D up to -6.25 D
– 220 eyes
– 1 year follow up
• Retreatments
– 45% eyes treated as “two-stage”
– Enhancement rate (non two-stage): 35%

©DZ Reinstein 2009

Advantages of Two Stage Procedure
• Increased safety
– Greater RST for primary treatment
– Artemis measured RST to calculate retreatment
– Option to retreat using topography-guided profile
• More accurate result
• Patient has lower expectations

Take Home Message
• Know your spherical aberration induction per dioptre
• Measure pre-op spherical aberration
• Check whether spherical aberration is going to go
beyond the threshold
– Use SA pre-compensation
– Use a 2-stage procedure (wavefront / topography guided
repair if necessary as second treatment)
• Caution with predicted RST
– Reduce potential errors
– Measure pachymetry with high repeatability instrument
– Use high reproducibility flap creation technique
– Always include flap thickness bias
