The purpose of this study is to compare LASIK outcomes using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ wavefront guided or optimized excimer laser treatment with the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ and the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser treatment. Standard refractive outcomes such as uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity, and intended vs. achieved postoperative refractions will be evaluated; in addition, high order optical aberrations, contrast sensitivity, and topography will be measured.
The primary objective of this study is to compare WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ wavefront guided or optimized excimer laser treatment with the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ and the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser treatment using both subjective and objective outcome measures. This comparison will be made between fellow eyes of the same patient following excimer laser ablation using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ Excimer Laser System in one eye and the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ or the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser in the contralateral eye .

1 Day Postoperative Lasik Uncorrected Visual Acuity
Visual acuity measured without glasses or contact lenses. LogMar is a method of measuring visual acuity. Generally speaking, the U.S. population is familiar with 20/20 visual acuity reference. Samples of LogMar equivalent values would be 20/20=0.0 LogMar, 20/25=0.1 LogMar, 20/16=-0.1, etc.
Time frame: 1 Day
