Purpose
To evaluate changes in corneal measured keratometry values 3-months after myopic lenticule extraction on the Johnson & Johnson Elita femtosecond platform and their relation to change in manifest refraction from the attempted myopic correction.
Setting
University Eye Clinic Svjetlot, Zagreb
Methods
Case series of 60 eyes undergoing uneventful Silk lenticule extraction all performed by the same experienced surgeon was analyzed using the CSO MS39 AS-OCT with Placido topography and Pentacam. Data were assessed for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk test
Results
The 60 analyzed eyes were followed up for a minimum of 3 months. At 3M, the scattergram of achieved change in keratometry readings vs. attempted refractive correction of the SEQ showed a very good correlation.
Conclusions
Novel extraction treatment using Elita laser is safe and efficacious in the first 3-months postoperatively. The post-operative outcomes indicate improvements in vision. There is a clear correlation between the keratometry changes and the achieved refractive outcomes.
