Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system for the correction of myopia with and without astigmatism using InnovEyes in conjunction with InnovEyes sightmap.

Detailed description

Qualified subjects will receive treatment in both eyes and be followed for 1 year. Subjects will be asked to attend a total of 9 visits (Screening, Day 0 Surgery, Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Year 1). The primary endpoints will be assessed at refractive stability, defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at 3 months after surgery when compared with the 1-month visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. Total expected duration of subject participation is approximately 1 year. This study will be conducted in the United States.

Interventions

DEVICEWaveLight EX500 excimer laser system with InnovEyes sightmap

FDA approved stationary scanning-spot excimer laser system used during refractive surgery for the treatment of myopia, myopic astigmatism, hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism, and mixed astigmatism. For this clinical study, the WaveLight EX500 software will be upgraded to include the InnovEyes treatment.

PROCEDURELASIK

Procedure that reshapes the front part of the eye (cornea) so that light traveling through it is properly focused on the back part of the eye (retina). The procedure will be performed using the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system and data obtained from the InnovEyes sightmap.

DEVICEInnovEyes sightmap

Non-contact ophthalmic diagnostic device that captures images of the eye and collects ocular data preoperatively to generate a patient-specific ablation profile for refractive correction surgery

Percentage of Eyes That Achieve Refractive Stability Assessed as Change From Baseline in MRSE of Equal to or Less Than 1.0 D

A manifest refraction (manual refraction) was performed using a phoropter. The spherical equivalent was calculated by adding the sum of the sphere power with half of the cylinder power and reported in diopters. Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at Month 3 after surgery when compared with the Month 1 visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. Refractive stability was considered to be achieved at the Month 3 visit. A higher percentage indicates a better outcome. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis. No hypothesis testing was pre-specified for this endpoint. This is a co-primary endpoint.
