Least Squares Mean Difference in Binocular UCVA at 1 Month Post-Treatment and Pre-Treatment Binocular BCVA
Visual acuity (VA) with corrective devices (BCVA) was assessed binocularly (both eyes together) pre-treatment and subtracted from VA without spectacles or other visual corrective devices (UCVA) assessed binocularly at 1 month post-treatment. VA was measured at a distance of 4 meters and reported in logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution), with 0.00 logMAR corresponding to 20/20 Snellen. A negative value indicates an improvement in VA from pre-treatment to Month 1.
Time frame: Month 1
Mean Difference Between Achieved and Target Corneal Flap Thickness as Assessed by OCT
The expected flap thickness as determined pre-operatively was subtracted from the achieved flap thickness as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) (ie, an imaging method using light to capture three-dimensional images). A positive number represents a postoperative flap thickness that is thicker than the expected flap thickness and vice versa for a negative number.
Time frame: Operation/Surgery (Day 1), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Mean Manifest Refraction (Sphere)
Manifest refraction was performed under photopic lighting conditions using an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at 4 meters. The subject was manually refracted to his/her best correction using a phoropter. Each eye individually contributed to the mean.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Operation/Surgery (Day 1), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 3 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Mean Manifest Refraction (Cylinder)
Manifest refraction was performed under photopic lighting conditions using an ETDRS chart at 4 meters. The subject was manually refracted to his/her best correction using a phoropter. Each eye individually contributed to the mean.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 3 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative

Mean Laser Treatment Time
Treatment time with Excimer EX500 and Femtosecond FS200 lasers, measured in seconds.
Time frame: Day 0 (surgery)
Mean Total Laser Treatment Time
Total treatment time with Excimer EX500 and Femtosecond FS200 lasers, measured in seconds. Total duration for both eyes was calculated as sum of duration for the right eye and left eye.
Time frame: Day 0 (surgery)
Mean Response: "Rate Your Vision, Over the Past 4 Weeks, With NO Glasses or Contact Lenses"
As recorded by the subject on the the Refractive Status and Vision Profile (RSVP), a self-reported questionnaire used to measure vision-related health status in persons with refractive error, on a scale from 0 (completely blind) to 10 (perfect vision).
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Percent Response by Category: "In the Past 4 Weeks, to See Far Away, I Wore..."
As recorded by the subject on the RSVP questionnaire, where n/a means no use of glasses or contact lenses.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Percent Response by Category: "I Worry About my Vision"
As recorded by the subject on the RSVP questionnaire
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Percent Response by Category: "My Vision Is a Concern in My Daily Life"
As recorded by the subject on the RSVP questionnaire
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Percent Response by Category: "Driving at Night"
As recorded by the subject on the RSVP questionnaire, where 0 is "Not applicable", 1 is "No difficulty at all", 2 is "A little difficulty", 3 is "Moderate difficulty", 4 is "Severe difficulty" and 5 is "So much difficulty that I did not do the activity with this alternative".
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Mean Contrast Sensitivity (CS)
Contrast sensitivity (ie, the ability to detect slight changes in luminance before they become indistinguishable) was assessed binocularly with distance manifest correction in place and uncorrected. Contrast sensitivity was assessed at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree (cpd), where 3.0 cpd = A, 6.0 cpd = B, 12.0 cpd = C, and 18.0 cpd = D. Raw scores were log transformed. A higher numeric value represents better contrast sensitivity.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 1 Postoperative, Month 1 Postoperative, Month 3 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
Wavefront Aberrometry
Wavefront aberrations (optical imperfections of the eye that prevent light from focusing perfectly on the retina, resulting in defects in the visual image) were measured using a commercially available system. Higher order aberrations (i.e., spherical aberrations, coma, and trifoil) are defined as optical imperfections which cannot be corrected by any reliable means of present technology.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 6 Postoperative
Corneal Curvature as Measured by Keratometry
Corneal curvature was assessed by a commercially available system and measured in diopters.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Month 1 Postoperative, Month 3 Postoperative, Month 6 Postoperative
