Comparison Between the SBK Microkeratome Versus Femtosecond Laser in Flap

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive surgery worldwide. It has been shown to be safe and effective procedure with predictable results over long term follow ups. With the advancement of technology, sub-Bowman keratomileusis allows thin flap of approximately 100 microns thickness thus preserving thicker stromal bed as compared to conventional LASIK. The femtosecond laser corneal flap has th advantage of producing a flap of uniform thickness, adjustable flap diameter, relatively few complications. The disadvantages of this procedure is the high cost of surgery, development of bubbles in the corneal layer and anterior chamber which may affect pupil trackingduring the procedure. Despite the emergence of femtosecond laser-assisted flap creation, mechanical microkeratomes remain the preferred choice in the majority of developing countries. Recent studies have shown that SBK corneal flap has the same advantages as femtosecond laser flap regarding flap uniformity, regularity, and accuracy with less suction time and cost, but with its specific complications as well.

Clinical Trial Description

It is a prospective comparative non randomized interventional clinical study Primary outcomes of this study include: 1. Comparison between the SBK microkeratome versus Femtosecond laser in flap creation during LASIK surgery for myopia using anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) 1 month after surgery in each group of patients. 2. Measuring corneal flap diameter using (AS-OCT) Secondary outcomes: 1. Measuring uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month postoperative. 2. Recording any related complications in each group. ;
