Active Comparator: Visumax device for FS-SMILE group
(FS-SMILE )femtosecond small incision lenticule extraction procedure using Visumax laser device as a surgical intervention for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism will be done for 30 eyes of patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism.
|
Procedure: FS-SMILE
The procedure will be performed using an established technique. the patient's eye will be centered and docked with the curved interface cone before application of suction fixation.The laser will be activated for photo-dissection in the following sequence: first the posterior surface of the refractive lenticule then the lenticule border then The anterior surface of the refractive lenticule which extended beyond the posterior lenticule diameter by 0.5 mm to form the anterior flap and is followed by a rim cut. After the suction is released, a Siebel spatula is inserted under the cap near the hinge before the cap is separated. The edge of the refractive lenticule is separated from the stromal bed with a sinsky hook and the posterior border of the lenticule gently separated with the Siebel spatula. The lenticule is then grasped with forceps through the small incision. Device: Visumax device |
Active Comparator: FS 200 device for FS-LASIK group
(FS-LASIK)femtosecond assisted LASIK procedure using Fs200 laser device as a surgical intervention for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism will be done for 30 eyes of patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism.
|
Procedure: FS- LASIK
LASIK procedure Each LASIK procedure will be performed using a standard, established technique. Under topical anesthesia and standard draping, a lid speculum is used to retract the eyelids. A superiorly hinged 100 μm thick flap will be created using the WaveLight FS200 (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) With inverted side cut (115 ̊) .Excimer laser ablation is then performed using WaveLight EX500 excimer laser (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.).After ablation, the flap will be carefully repositioned, and postoperative medications are commenced. Device: FS 200 device |
- refractive predictability(manifest refraction spherical equivalent using autorefractometer) [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]• Refractive predictability, which is defined as the proportion number of eyes achieving a postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) within ±0.50 D of the intended target.
- efficacy(Unaided distance visual acuity using snellen chart) [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]Efficacy: defined as the proportion number of eyes achieving an unaided visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/20 or better postoperatively (efficacy= postoperative UCVA/preoperative BCVA %).
- safety( Corrected distance visual acuity using snellen chart) [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]Safety: defined as the proportion number of eyes that lost or gained one or more lines of postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) relative to the preoperative BCVA (Safety= Postoperative BCVA/preoperative BCVA %)
- corneal hysteresis [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]corneal hysteresis will be measured by ORA device and the investigators will compare between the preoperative and postoperative results in both groups.
- schirmer test [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]schirmer test and tear breack up time test will be tested pre and postoperatively and the investigators will compare between the preoperative and postoperative results in both groups.
- corneal higher order aberrations.( total RMS) [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]corneal higher order aberrations( total RMS) will be measured and comparison between the preoperative and postoperative value will be conducted.
- corneal resistance factor [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]corneal resistance factor will be measured by ORA device and the investigators will compare between the preoperative and postoperative results in both groups.
- tear break up time test. [ Time Frame: change from baseline at 3 months postoperative. ]tear breack up time test will be tested pre and postoperatively and the investigators will compare between the preoperative and postoperative results in both groups.
