STANDARD AND CUSTOMIZED WAVEFRONT-GUIDED FEMTO-LASIK RESULTS COMPARISON
Abstract
The results of standard and customized wavefront-guided femto-LASIK evaluation in comparable groups formed with propensity score matching method are presented in this article. No statistically significant postoperative difference in achieved refraction, visual acuity and visual life quality improvement was registered, nevertheless customized operation showed lower values of higher- order aberrations induction and amount of patients with vision quality deterioration and physical ocular discomfort occurrence postoperatively. Performing customized femto-LASIK nevertheless did not guarantee 100 % postoperative patient satisfaction with achieved results.
