| Abstract;We investigated the efficacy of the eye tracking system in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), evaluating pupillary center distance as recorded with an infrared camera during surgery, and results within 3 months after surgery. Subjects comprised 22 eyes of 11 patients who underwent LASIK and were available for follow-up at 3 months after surgery. One eye was randomly operated on using the eye tracking system; the fellow eye was operated on without it. The mean pupillary center distance during surgery using the eye tracking system was significantly smaller than that without it (p<0.001), but there was no significant difference between the two methods regarding the distance from the ablation zone center to the pupillary center, as measured by corneal topography; we obtained good results with both methods. We believe that the eye tracking system will come into wide use in LASIK, since it lessens the surgeon's burden in regard to centration. (author abst.) |
