ond poster, "Wavefront-optimized LASIK Retreatment for Residual Refractive Errors," the authors sought to know how predictable and safe the wavefront-optimized LASIK was in the cases of retreatment. The wavefront-optimized LASIK has the advantage of keeping the corneal surface prolate, which decreases the spherical aberrations. The researchers concluded that wavefront-optimized LASIK is safe, predictable, and efficient in retreating residual refractive errors.

Palo Alto, San Jose and San Francisco Bay Area LASIK surgery expert Dr. Edward Manche, Director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery at the Stanford Eye Laser Center and Professor of Ophthalmology at the Stanford University School of Medicine made two presentations and served on two panels, one as a moderator and one as a panelist. In the first study, Dr. Manche looked at the effect of preoperative pupil size on postoperative quality of vision and night vision effects such as glare, halos in eyes undergoing wavefront-guided LASIK surgery. His study showed that preoperative pupil size was not correlated with an increase in glare and halos one year postoperatively. A second study compared dry eye findings in eyes undergoing wavefront-LASIK with either a mechanical keratome vs. a femtosecond laser. According to Dr. Manche, this study showed that there was no difference in dry eye symptoms between the two groups and there was a return to pre-operative levels of dryness by postoperative month three.
