Fixing the eye - iVis approach

Purpose: To evaluate the necessity of performing customized
topographic
ablation in eyes with irregular corneal profile.
Methods: Fifty eyes with BSCVA less than 20/25 but with pinhole
visual acuity of 20/20 were enroller in this study. We performed CIPTA
transepithelial PRK in all eyes, using iVis platform (pupillometer
pMetrix, Ires 1000 Hz excimer laser). UCVA, BSCVA,
predictability and stability of refraction, contrast sensitivity (CSV
1000 VectorVision) were analysed.
Results: UCVA improved in all patients. All the eyes had 20/20 of
BSCVA. Contrast sensitivity test revealed a good quality of vision in
all cases. We did not observe any complication.
Conclusion: Customized topographic PRK is a realistic approach in
eyes in which corneal shape causes loss in BSCVA.

Sorry for the double post. I was not able to view the first one last
night and thought it had not successfully posted.
