NOTE: You do not need to scan your badge at Sub-specialty
Day meetings, AAOE coding sessions or
at any ticketed event.
Badge Scanning and CME
Getting your badge scanned does not automati-cally
grant CME. You still need to record your own
educational activities. You can do so either in
Chicago, at designated CME Reporting stations, or
online after the meeting. Please note: You should
claim only the credit commensurate with the
extent of your participation in the activity.

Important Safety Information about the WaveLight®
Excimer Laser Systems
This information pertains to all WaveLight® Excimer Laser Systems,
including the WaveLight® ALLEGRETTO WAVE®, the ALLEGRETTO
WAVE® Eye-Q , and the WaveLight® EX500.
Caution: Federal (U.S.) law restricts the WaveLight® Excimer Laser
Systems to sale by or on the order of a physician. Only practitioners
who are experienced in the medical mangement and surgical
treatment of the cornea, who have been trained in laser refractive
surgery (including laser calibration and operation) should use a
WaveLight® Excimer Laser System.
Indications: FDA has approved the WaveLight® Excimer Laser for
use in laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatments for:
• the reduction or elimination of myopia of up to - 12.0 DS and
up to 6.0 D of astigmatism at the spectacle plane;
• the reduction or elimination of hyperopia up to + 6.0 DS
with and without astigmatic refractive errors up to 5.0 D at
the spectacle plane, with a maximum manifest refraction
spherical equivalent of + 6.0 D;
• the reduction or elimination of naturally occurring mixed
astigmatism of up to 6.0 D at the spectacle plane; and
• the wavefront-guided reduction or elimination of myopia
of up to -7.0 DS and up to 3.0 D of astigmatism at the
spectacle plane.
In addition, FDA has approved the WaveLight® ALLEGRETTO WAVE®
Eye-Q Excimer Laser System, when used with the WaveLight®
ALLEGRO Topolyzer® and topography-guided treatment planning
software for topography-guided LASIK treatments for the reduction
or elimination of up to -9.00 D of myopia, or for the reduction or
elimination of myopia with astigmatism, with up to -8.00 D of
myopia and up to 3.00 D of astigmatism.
The WaveLight® Excimer Laser Systems are only indicated for use in
patients who are 18 years of age or older (21 years of age or older
for mixed astigmatism) with documentation of a stable manifest
refraction dened as 0.50 D of preoperative spherical equivalent
shift over one year prior to surgery, exclusive of changes due to
unmasking latent hyperopia.
Contraindications: The WaveLight® Excimer Laser Systems are
contraindicated for use with patients who:
• are pregnant or nursing;
• have a diagnosed collagen vascular, autoimmune or
immunodeciency disease;
• have been diagnosed keratoconus or if there are any clinical
pictures suggestive of keratoconus; or
• are taking isotretinoin (Accutane*) and/or amiodarone
hydrochloride (Cordarone*).
Warnings: The WaveLight® Excimer Laser Systems are not
recommended for use with patients who have:
• systemic diseases likely to aect wound healing, such as
connective tissue disease, insulin dependent diabetes, severe
atopic disease or an immunocompromised status;
• a history of Herpes simplex or Herpes zoster keratitis;
• signicant dry eye that is unresponsive to treatment;
• severe allergies; or
• an unreliable preoperative wavefront examination that
precludes wavefront-guided treatment.
• a poor quality preoperative topography map that precludes
topography-guided LASIK treatment.
The wavefront-guided LASIK procedure requires accurate and
reliable data from the wavefront examination. Every step of every
wavefront measurement that may be used as the basis for a
wavefront-guided LASIK procedure must be validated by the user.
Inaccurate or unreliable data from the wavefront examination will
lead to an inaccurate treatment.
Topography-guided LASIK requires preoperative topography maps
of sucient quality to use for planning a topography-guided LASIK
treatment. Poor quality topography maps may aect the accuracy
of the topography-guided LASIK treatment and may result in poor
vision after topography-guided LASIK.
Precautions: The safety and eectiveness of the WaveLight®
Excimer Laser Systems have not been established for patients with:
• progressive myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and/or mixed
astigmatism, ocular disease, previous corneal or intraocular
surgery, or trauma in the ablation zone;
• corneal abnormalities including, but not limited to, scars,
irregular astigmatism and corneal warpage;
• residual corneal thickness after ablation of less than 250
microns due to the increased risk for corneal ectasia;
• pupil size below 7.0 mm after mydriatics where applied for
wavefront-guided ablation planning;
• history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension of 23 mmHg;
• taking the medication sumatriptan succinate (Imitrex*);
• corneal, lens and/or vitreous opacities including, but not
limited to cataract;
• iris problems including , but not limited to, coloboma and
previous iris surgery compromising proper eye tracking; or
• taking medications likely to aect wound healing including
(but not limited to) antimetabolites.
In addition, safety and eectiveness of the WaveLight® Excimer
Laser Systems have not been established for:
• treatments with an optical zone 6.0 mm or 6.5 mm in
diameter, or an ablation zone 9.0 mm in diameter; or
• wavefront-guided treatment targets dierent from
emmetropia (plano) in which the wavefront calculated
defocus (spherical term) has been adjusted;
In the WaveLight® Excimer Laser System clinical studies, there
were few subjects with cylinder amounts 4 D and 6 D. Not all
complications, adverse events, and levels of eectiveness may have
been determined for this population.
Pupil sizes should be evaluated under mesopic illumination
conditions. Eects of treatment on vision under poor illumination
cannot be predicted prior to surgery.
Adverse Events and Complications
Myopia: In the myopia clinical study, 0.2% (2/876) of the eyes
had a lost, misplaced, or misaligned ap reported at the 1 month
examination.
The following complications were reported 6 months after LASIK:
0.9% (7/818) had ghosting or double images in the operative eye;
0.1% (1/818) of the eyes had a corneal epithelial defect.
Hyperopia: In the hyperopia clinical study, 0.4% (1/276) of the eyes
had a retinal detachment or retinal vascular accident reported at
the 3 month examination.
0.8% (2/262) of the eyes had a corneal epithelial defect and 0.8%
(2/262) had any epithelium in the interface.
Mixed Astigmatism: In the mixed astigmatism clinical study, two
adverse events were reported. The rst event involved a patient
who postoperatively was subject to blunt trauma to the treatment
eye 6 days after surgery. The patient was found to have an intact
globe with no rupture, inammation or any dislodgement of the
ap. UCVA was decreased due to this event. The second event
involved the treatment of an incorrect axis of astigmatism. The axis
was treated at 60 degrees instead of 160 degrees.
1.8% (2/111) of the eyes had ghosting or double images in the
operative eye.
Wavefront-Guided Myopia: No adverse events occurred during the
postoperative period of the wavefront-guided LASIK procedures.
In the Control Cohort (traditional LASIK treatment) one subject
undergoing traditional LASIK had the axis of astigmatism
programmed as 115 degrees instead of the actual 155 degree axis.
This led to cylinder in the left eye.
The following complications were reported 6 months after
wavefront-guided LASIK in the Study Cohort: 1.2% (2/166) of the
eyes had a corneal epithelial defect; 1.2% (2/166) had foreign body
sensation; and 0.6% (1/166) had pain. No complications were
reported in the Control Cohort.
Topography-Guided Myopia: There were six adverse events
reported in the topography-guided myopia study. Four of the eyes
experienced transient or temporary decreases in vision prior to the
nal 12 month follow-up visit, all of which were resolved by the
nal follow-up visit. One subject suered from decreased vision in
the treated eye, following blunt force trauma 4 days after surgery.
One subject experienced retinal detachment, which was concluded
to be unrelated to the surgical procedure.
Clinical Data
Myopia: The myopia clinical study included 901 eyes treated,
of which 813 of 866 eligible eyes were followed for 12 months.
Accountability at 3 months was 93.8%, at 6 months was 91.9%,
and at 12 months was 93.9%. Of the 782 eyes eligible for the
uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) analysis of eectiveness at the
6-month stability time point, 98.3% were corrected to 20/40 or
better, and 87.7% were corrected to 20/20 or better. Subjects who
responded to a patient satisfaction questionnaire before and after
LASIK reported the following visual symptoms at a “moderate” or
“severe” level at least 1% higaher at 3 months post-treatment than
at baseline: visual uctuations (28.6% vs. 12.8% at baseline).
Long term risks of LASIK for myopia with and without astigmatism
have not been studied beyond 12 months.
Hyperopia: The hyperopia clinical study included 290 eyes treated,
of which 100 of 290 eligible eyes were followed for 12 months.
Accountability at 3 months was 95.2%, at 6 months was 93.9%,
and at 12 months was 69.9%. Of the 212 eyes eligible for the UCVA
analysis of eectiveness at the 6-month stability time point, 95.3%
were corrected to 20/40 or better, and 69.4% were corrected to
20/20 or better. Subjects who responded to a patient satisfaction
questionnaire before and after LASIK reported the following visual
symptoms as “much worse” at 6 months post-treatment: halos
(6.4%); visual uctuations (6.1%); light sensitivity (4.9%); night
driving glare (4.2%); and glare from bright lights (3.0%).
Long term risks of LASIK for hyperopia with and without
astigmatism have not been studied beyond 12 months.
Mixed Astigmatism: The mixed astigmatism clinical study included
162 eyes treated, of which 111 were eligible to be followed for 6
months. Accountability at 1 month was 99.4%, at 3 months was
96.0%, and at 6 months was 100.0%. Of the 142 eyes eligible
for the UCVA analysis of eectiveness at the 6-month stability
time point, 97.3% achieved acuity of 20/40 or better, and 69.4%
achieved acuity of 20/20 or better. Subjects who responded
to a patient satisfaction questionnaire before and after LASIK
reported the following visual symptoms at a “moderate” or “severe”
level at least 1% higher at 3 months post-treatment than at
baseline: sensitivity to light (52.9% vs. 43.3% at baseline); visual
uctuations (43.0% vs. 32.1% at baseline); and halos (42.3% vs.
37.0% at baseline).
Long term risks of LASIK for mixed astigmatism have not been
studied beyond 6 months.
Wavefront-Guided Myopia: The wavefront-guided myopia clinical
study included 374 eyes treated; 188 with wavefront-guided LASIK
(Study Cohort) and 186 with Wavefront Optimized® LASIK (Control
Cohort). 166 of the Study Cohort and 166 of the Control Cohort
were eligible to be followed at 6 months. In the Study Cohort,
accountability at 1 month was 96.8%, at 3 months was 96.8%,
and at 6 months was 93.3%. In the Control Cohort, accountability
at 1 month was 94.6%, at 3 months was 94.6%, and at 6 months
was 92.2%.
Of the 166 eyes in the Study Cohort that were eligible for the UCVA
analysis of eectiveness at the 6-month stability time point, 99.4%
were corrected to 20/40 or better, and 93.4% were corrected to
20/20 or better. Of the 166 eyes in the Control Cohort eligible for
the UCVA analysis of eectiveness at the 6-month stability time
point, 99.4% were corrected to 20/40 or better, and 92.8% were
corrected to 20/20.
In the Study Cohort, subjects who responded to a patient
satisfaction questionnaire before and after LASIK reported the
following visual symptoms at a “moderate” or “severe” level at least
1% higher at 3 months post-treatment than at baseline: light
sensitivity (47.8% vs. 37.2% at baseline) and visual uctuations
(20.0% vs. 13.8% at baseline). In the Control Cohort, the following
visual symptoms were reported at a “moderate” or “severe” level
at least 1% higher at 3 months post-treatment than at baseline:
halos (45.4% vs. 36.6% at baseline) and visual uctuations (21.9%
vs. 18.3% at baseline).
Long term risks of wavefront-guided LASIK for myopia with and
without astigmatism have not been studied beyond 6 months.
Topography-Guided Myopia: The topography-guided myopia
clinical study included 249 eyes treated, of which 230 eyes were
followed for 12 months. Accountability at 3 months was 99.2%,
at 6 months was 98.0%, and at 12 months was 92.4%. Of the
247 eyes that were eligible for the UCVA analysis at the 3-month
stability time point, 99.2% were corrected to 20/40 or better,
and 92.7% were corrected to 20/20 or better. Subjects who
responded to a patient satisfaction questionnaire before and after
LASIK reported the following visual symptoms as “marked” or
“severe” at an incidence greater than 5% at 1 month after surgery:
dryness (7% vs. 4% at baseline) and light sensitivity (7% vs. 5%
at baseline). Visual symptoms continued to improve with time,
and none of the visual symptoms were rated as being “marked”
or “severe” with an incidence of at least 5% at 3 months or later
after surgery.
Long term risks of topography-guided LASIK for myopia with and
without astigmatism have not been studied beyond 12 months.
Information for Patients: Prior to undergoing LASIK surgery
with a WaveLight® Excimer Laser System, prospective patients
