Purpose
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new femtosecond laser platform Elita (Johonson & Johnson, Irvine, California, United States) in performing a novel intrastromal lenticular procedure SILK on European patients.
Setting
Eye Clinic Svjetlost, Zagreb
Methods
Prospective, open-label, single-arm, clinical trial. The main outcome parameters were corrected and uncorrected visual acuity for distance (CDVA/UDVA). Secondary outcome parameters are mean refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE), contrast sensitivity curve, ocular wavefront, and tomographic changes. Patient satisfaction and quality of vision was measured by means of questionnaires. All contrast and visual acuity testing was performed using the industry standard Automated ETDRS CTS suite (M&S Technologies, Niles, USA).
Results
We analysed 60 eyes from 30 patients. All eye achieved 20/25 or better UCVA. At all intervals checked no patients reported satisfactory vision and no need for glasses or contacts. Contrast sensitivity was excellent in all cases during photopic and mesopic conditions. Corneal thickness analysis showed great corelation to predicted values.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest great promise for Elita and Silk, with good efficacy and safety profiles, as well as high rates of patient satisfaction. Given that this is an interim analysis, updated results with larger cohorts and longer follow-up data will be presented at a more advanced stage of the study.
