Abstract
Purpose: To assess and compare the visual acuity and refractive outcomes of topography-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) based on the fitting-shape-based refractive compensated and Phorcides software strategies.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent topography-guided LASIK were included in this study. Through double-masked simple randomization, patients were assigned to the Zhang & Zheng Auto-compensate Refraction (ZZ AR) group (the fitting-shape-based refractive compensated strategy using the ZZ AR calculator was used) or the Phorcides group (the topography analysis algorithm in Phorcides software [Phorcides LLC] was used). Only one eye per patient with binocular correction was randomly enrolled. The preoperative and postoperative visual acuities and refraction were analyzed at the 6-month follow-up visit.
Results: The ZZ AR and Phorcides groups comprised 156 and 147 eyes, respectively. At the 6-month postoperative follow-up visit, the median (range) absolute residual cylindrical refraction was 0.35 (1.01) and 0.47 (1.63) diopters (D) for the ZZ AR and Phorcides groups, respectively (P < .001). The percentages of patients with residual cylindrical power within 0.25 D were 29.49% and 13.61% for the ZZ AR and Phorcides groups, respectively (P = .001). Based on the percentages of patients with residual cylindrical powers within 0.50 and 1.00 D, the ZZ AR group showed better outcomes (P = .02 and .01). The percentage of patients with visual acuity better than 20/16 was significantly higher for the ZZ AR group than for the Phorcides group (P = .03).
Conclusions: The fitting-shape-based refractive compensated strategy for topography-guided LASIK procedures can better optimize the visual acuity and astigmatic refraction than the Phorcides software strategy. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(5):e336-e343.].
