The retrospective study included 85 eyes of 59 patients who underwent
LASIK after receiving the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL (Alcon). Mean patient age
was 61 years. The mean period between IOL implantation and LASIK
correction was 7.8 months.
Surgeons used the IntraLase FS 60 kHz femtosecond laser (Abbott
Medical Optics) to create LASIK flaps and the Visx STAR S4 excimer
laser (AMO) to perform ablation. Thirty-six eyes underwent myopic
correction, 35 eyes underwent mixed astigmatic correction and 14 eyes
had hyperopic correction; 72 eyes had conventional ablation and 13 eyes
had wavefront-guided ablation with iris registration.
Forty-five eyes also underwent nd:YAG capsulotomy. Investigators conducted follow-up exams at 1, 3 and 6 months.
Study data showed that at 6-months postop, 91.8% of eyes had
uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better; 92.9% had
uncorrected near visual acuity of J1 or better; 85.9% had uncorrected
distance visual acuity of 20/25 or better and near UCVA of J1 or
better. Results also showed that 99% of eyes were within 1 D of
emmetropia, the authors said.
