Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes of cross-cylinder ablation in Laser in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) for eyes with high astigmatic refractive errors and low spherical component. Methods: We prospectively evaluated cross cylinder LASIK in patients with high astigmatic refractive error but low spherical component over a period of 2 years. All procedures were performed with the Nidek EC- 5000 excimer laser. Main outcome measures included uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectade corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, and complications.Results: Thirty-four eyes of 22 patients were included. Patients were followed for 21.8±3.6 months. At the last examination, UCVA of 20/ 40 or better was observed in 33 eyes (97.1%). BSCVA after LASIK improved significantly in comparison to BSCVA before surgery (p<0.005).The mean preoperative cylinder was -4.73±0.89D (-4.00 to -7.00 D) which was reduced to -.29±0.47 D (0.00 to -1.50 D) at the last follow up visit (P<0.001). No cases of postoperative astigmatic regression or corneal haze were observed. Conclusion: Cross cylinder LASIK with the Nidek EC-5000 is a successful procedure for correction of high ASTIGMATISM. It seems to be clinically safe, effective and predictable.
