Study Summary

This purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a topography-based custom ablation treatment using the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q 400 Hz laser system for treating myopia and hyperopia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older;

  • Signed Informed Consent;

  • Willingness and ability to comply with schedule for follow-up visits;

  • be a candidate for topography guided LASIK treatment of myopia or hyperopia in botheyes based on your doctors examination of your eyes;

  • Intended treatment is targeted for emmetropia;

  • Stable refraction (0.5 D or less change in manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) per year) for 12 months or longer, based on previous clinical records orprescription history (e.g., old glasses/contact lens prescriptions).

  • Able to obtain a reliable corneal topography that can be used to determine the T-CATtreatment plan;

  • Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) 20/25 or better in each eye;

  • Less than 0.75 D spherical equivalent (SE) difference between cycloplegic and manifestrefractions.

  • Is not a contact lens wearer or, if wearing contact lenses, has discontinued wearingcontact lenses for the required period of time and completed the contact lensstability check;

  • be able to maintain your eye position steady during the course of the treatment.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of prior refractive treatment;

  • Mixed astigmatism refractive error;

  • Lenticular astigmatism that, in the investigator's opinion, is clinically significant;

  • Corneal topography showing evidence of keratoconus, keratoconus suspect, forme frustekeratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or other topographic abnormality thatwould place the eye at risk for developing post-refractive corneal ectasia;

  • Treatment plan for T-CAT would predict a residual stromal bed thickness less than 250microns;

  • History or current evidence of corneal or other anterior segment disease that mightreasonably be expected to affect the outcome of treatment (e.g., herpes simplexkeratitis, herpes zoster keratitis, recurrent erosion syndrome, corneal melt, cornealdystrophy, etc.);

  • Evidence of retinal vascular disease;

  • Female patients who are pregnant or lactating or plan to become pregnant during thecourse of the study;

  • A known sensitivity to study medications;

  • Nystagmus or any other condition that would prevent a steady gaze during the LASIKtreatment or other diagnostic tests;

  • Corneal dystrophy or corneal guttae;

  • Pathology involving the iris (e.g., coloboma, tears, cuts, significant pigment loss,etc.);

  • Residual, recurrent or active ocular pathology;

  • Previous intraocular or corneal surgery that might confound the outcome or increasethe risk of the study;

  • Acute or chronic illness that might increase the risk or confound the outcome of thestudy (e.g., diagnosed autoimmune disease, systemic connective tissue disease,clinically significant atopic disease, diabetes mellitus, etc.)

  • The use of systemic medications that may confound the outcome or increase the risk ofthe study, including, but not limited to: corticosteroids and antimetabolites;

  • Intraocular pressure > 23 mm Hg, a history of glaucoma, or a glaucoma suspect;

  • An increased risk for developing strabismus after treatment (applicable only totreatment of hyperopic refractive errors);

  • Presence or history of any other condition or finding that, in the investigator'sopinion, makes the patient unsuitable as a candidate for LASIK or study participationor may confound the outcome of the study.
