Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Epipolis laser in situ keratomileusis(Epi-LASIK)and laser in situ keratomileu- sis(LASIK)on high myopia patients.Design Prospective,case-controlled study.Participants 62 patients(123 eyes)with high myopia. Methods 62 patients(123 eyes)underwent Epi-LASIK or LASIK surgery for high myopia:28 patients(56 eyes)underwent Epi-LASIK and 34 patients(67 eyes)underwent LASIK.The differences in postoperative uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA),best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),refraction,and root mean square(RMS)of high-range wavefront aberration were compared one-week,one-month, three-months and six-months postoperatively.Main Outcome Measures UCVA,BCVA,refraction,and RMS of high-range wavefront aberration.Results There was no serious complication during and after the operation.The recovery of postoperative UCVA after Epi-LASIK was slower than that of LASIK.One week postoperatively,the proportion of UCVA≥0.8 of Epi-LASIK(46.4%)was less than that of LASIK(77.6%)(P=0.0003).No significant differences were found in those of Epi-LASIK(85.7%,94.6%,91.1%)and those of LASIK(92.5%,95.5%,94.0%)one-month,three-months and six-months postoperatively(P=0.590,0.822,0.530).BCVA was same after Epi-LASIK and LASIK.The proportion of mean spherical equivalents within?0.50D for Epi-LASIK(42.9%,51.8%,60.7%,64.3%)had no difference with those for LASIK(53.7%,59.7%,71.6%,73.1%)one-week,one-month,three-months and six-months postoperatively (P=0.230,0.378,0.200,0.290).The postoperative RMS increased after both surgeries,especially after LASIK.At postoperative one-month,three-months and six-months RMS of Epi-LASIK(1.51?0.77)?m,(1.32?0.76)?m,(1.18?0.71)?m were much higher than the (0.87?0.27)?m preoperative ones(P=0.016,0.019,0.026).At postoperative one-month,three-months and six-months RMS of LASIK (2.41?0.81)?m,(2.17?0.63)?m,(1.89?0.87)?m were also much higher than the preoperative(0.91?0.22)?m(P=0.011,0.008,0.006). There were significant differences between the RMS of Epi-LASIK and LASIK one-month,three-months and six-months postoperatively (P=0.039,0.035,0.033).The I grade haze was found in two eyes after Epi-LASIK.Conclusion Epi-LASIK has better visual quality re- sult than LASIK on correcting high myopia.(Ophthalmol CHN,2007,16:336-339)
