At 12 months, 86% of sufferers achieved refractive cylinder inside 0.5 D. Moreover, 82% of sufferers achieved imaginative and prescient of 20/25 or higher.
“We predict that beveled arcuate incisions that use iris registration for correct placement with the Lensar femtosecond laser present actually sturdy astigmatism correction that’s strong and protracted via 1 yr and … probably past as properly,” De Rojas stated.
