About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of femtosecond laser arcuate corneal relaxing incisions (AK) combined with Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) implantation for correcting pre-existing corneal astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery. Postoperative assessments will focus on residual refractive astigmatism, visual outcomes, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of adverse events. Arcuate keratotomy and toric IOLs are well-established methods for astigmatism correction, and this study will compare their combined effectiveness using advanced femtosecond laser technology.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Subject must be aged ≥ 21 years at the time of eligibility visit.
Subject must have a vector difference of 0.50 D or less in magnitude of pre-operative anterior corneal astigmatism as measured by the Pentacam AXL and the Zeiss IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec).
Subject must be able and willing to comply with the study examination procedures.
Astigmatic treatment must require paired arcs <45mm in length.
Disqualifiers
Subject who has undergone previous corneal or intraocular surgery in the eye to be treated.
Subject with a history, signs or symptoms of ocular disease or atypical findings that would be contraindicated under standard of care for lens extraction surgery.
Subject with neuro-ophthalmic disease.
Diabetic or hypertensive subject with clinical evidence of retinal pathology that the investigator believes will significantly affect visual outcomes.
