Comparison of Predicted Versus Actual Corneal Ablation Depth in Wavefront-guided LASIK and Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction
Corneal ablations were deeper than predicted after WFG LASIK and shallower than predicted after KLEx. WFG LASIK was independently associated with greater ablation depth inaccuracy, but there was no difference in postoperative spherical equivalent between WFG LASIK and KLEx.
