Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male and female subjects age 22 years of age and older either active duty or dependents who are eligible for care;
  • Myopia from ≥ 0 D to ≤ -10.00 D with ≤ -3.00 D cylinder and MRSE ≥ -1.00 D to
  • ≤ -11.50 D in the eye(s) to be treated;
  • A stable refraction for the past year, as demonstrated by a change in MRSE of ≤ 0.50 D in the eyes to be treated;
  • A difference between cycloplegic and manifest refractions of
  • ≤ 0.75 D spherical equivalent in both eye(s);
  • UCVA 2 lines worse than BCVA in the treated eye(s);
  • BSCVA at least 20/20 in the treated eye(s);
  • Discontinue use of contact lenses for at least 4 weeks (for hard lenses) or 2 weeks (for soft lenses) prior to the preoperative examination, and through entire study. The subject shall not be considered a contact lens wearer if they are not wearing hard contact lenses for 4 weeks or soft contact lenses for 2 weeks.
  • All contact lens wearers must demonstrate a stable refraction (within ±0.5 D), as determined by MRSE, on two consecutive examinations at least 7 days apart, in the eye(s) to be treated;
  • Central corneal thickness of at least 500 microns in the both eye(s);
  • Willing and able to return for scheduled follow-up examinations;
  • Able to provide written informed consent and follow study instructions in English.
  • Permission of the Commanding Officer for active duty subjects to receive refractive surgery and participate in the study.

Exclusion

  • Manifest cylinder of more than -3.00 D;
  • Estimated treatment depth is less than 250 microns from the corneal endothelium;
  • Eye to be treated is targeted for monovision;
  • Keratometry readings via Sim-K values less than 40.00 D;
  • Abnormal corneal topographic findings, e.g. keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration in either eye;
  • History of or current anterior segment pathology, including cataracts in the eye to be treated;
  • Clinically significant dry eye syndrome unresolved by treatment in either eye;
  • Residual, recurrent, active ocular or uncontrolled eyelid disease, corneal scars or other corneal abnormality such as recurrent corneal erosion or severe basement membrane disease in the either eye;
  • Ophthalmoscopic signs of progressive or unstable myopia or keratoconus (or keratoconus suspect) in either eye;
  • Irregular or unstable (distorted/not clear) corneal mires on central keratometry images in either eye;
  • History of ocular herpes zoster or herpes simplex keratitis;
  • Deep orbits, strong blink, anxiety, pterygium, or any other finding suggesting difficulty in achieving or maintaining suction;
  • Difficulty following directions or unable to fixate;
  • Previous intraocular or corneal surgery of any kind in the eye to be treated, including any type of surgery for either refractive or therapeutic purposes;
  • History of steroid-responsive rise in intraocular pressure, glaucoma, or preoperative IOP \> 21 mmHg in either eye;
  • History of diabetes, diagnosed autoimmune disease, connective tissue disease or clinically significant atopic syndrome;
  • Immunocompromised or requires chronic systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapy that may affect wound healing;
  • History of known sensitivity to planned study medications;
  • Participating in any other ophthalmic drug or device clinical trial during the time of this clinical investigation;
  • Pregnant or lactating;
  • Anyone who has the potential to deploy or relocate during the follow-up period.
  • Systemic Medications that may confound the outcome of the study or increase risk to the subject, including but not limited to steroids, antimetabolites, etc.
  • Evidence of retinal vascular disease.
  • Glaucoma suspects by exam findings or family history.
