Enhancement using CIRCLE software post cornea lenticule extraction for advanced refractive correction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report visual outcomes of enhancement after corneal lenticular extraction for advanced refractive correction (CLEAR, Femto LDV) using the CIRCLE software (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany).

Methods

A prospective interventional study included eyes undergoing enhancement for under-correction or regression following CLEAR; at least three months after the primary procedure. CIRCLE software (pattern D) was used to convert the initial cap into a flap, which was subsequently raised and the stromal bed was ablated using an excimer laser (Zeiss Mel 90), with a Plano target in all eyes. Safety and visual outcomes at the three months postoperative visit were analyzed, with maximum follow-up till one year.

Results

Nine eyes of six patients were included in the data analysis
