| Abstract |
PURPOSE
To compare satisfaction after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with satisfaction after wavefront guided customized LASIK. METHODS: One hundred fifty-nine patients were included in this randomized, comparative, clinical trial. A myopia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire was used to evaluate postoperative satisfaction. RESULTS: Overall questionnaire scores improved after both procedures. Wavefront LASIK showed higher satisfaction scores with respect to "Difficulty in visiting others", "Need a lot of help from others", and "Improvement of quality of life". But, most of the questionnaires did not show differences in actual visual satisfaction of daily living. CONCLUSIONS: Conventional and wavefront LASIK improved the visual satisfaction of patients. However, for the most part there was no difference in improvement of daily living between the two procedures. |
