PURPOSE: To compare differences in visual outcomes and induced spherical aberration
after conventional and wavefront-optimized LASIK for the treatment of hyperopia.
METHODS: In a prospective, randomized, single-center clinical trial, 51 consecutive eyes
underwent LASIK for the treatment of hyperopia. Eyes were divided between groups treated
with conventional LASIK with the Alcon LADAR4000 excimer laser (n= 25) and wavefront-
optimized LASIK with the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO excimer laser (n= 26). Refractive and …

Purpose:: To compare the differences in subjective and objective visual outcomes after
conventional and wavefront-optimized (WFO) laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the
treatment of hyperopia. Methods:: In a prospective, randomized, single-center clinical trial,
fifty-one consecutive eyes underwent LASIK for the treatment of hyperopia. Patients were
divided evenly between groups treated with conventional Alcon LADAR4000 and wavefront-
optimized Allegretto Wavelight. The refractive and visual outcomes, induced spherical …
