Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of LASIK and Femtosecond sub-Bowmann Keratomileusis (FSBK) in the correction of myopic astigmatism Methods Prospective, masked study of consecutive eyes, with myopic astigmatism higher than -1.5D. LASIK was performed using the M2 microkeratome, Intralase® was used in FSBK. Visual results were evaluated 3 months post op Results 228 eyes were analyzed, 105 LASIK and 123 FSBK. Preoperative sphere and cylinder was similar in both groups (p=0.2). Safety and Efficacy indexes were 1.01 vs 1.01 and 1.02 vs 0.91 in LASEK and FSBK groups, respectively (p=0.8 and 0.3) Conclusion LASIK and FSBK achieve comparable visual results when used to correct myopic astigmatism at 3 months follow-up |
