This study is a single-site, single-arm, prospective, observational study of subject satisfaction, quality of vision, and quality of life after bilateral LASIK surgery. Subjects will be assessed up to 3 months post-operatively. Clinical evaluations will include refractive outcomes, visual acuity, and administration of the adapted PROWL and the Quality-of-Life Impact of Refractive Correction (QIRC) Questionnaire.

Wavelight plus LASIK is an advanced laser eye surgery technology designed to enhance visual outcomes through personalized treatment plans. This system integrates comprehensive diagnostics, including biometry, tomography, and wavefront measurements, to create a tailored ablation profile for each patient.

RECRUITINGMean score of satisfaction with uncorrected vision after wavelight plus LASIK based on PROWL-SS Questionnaire preoperative vs postoperative (question #1 [Q1] only).
Time frame: 3 months postoperative
PROWL-SS Questionnaire
PROWL-SS can be used to assess satisfaction with vision and the existence, bothersomeness and impact on usual activities in the last 7 days of four visual symptoms - double images (8 items), glare (8 items), halos (8 items) and starbursts (8 items). Subjects select one of 6 responses for each question. Responses are scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 being a worse overall outcome and 100 being a better overall outcome for the existence, bothersomeness and impact on usual activities in the last 7 days of four visual symptoms - double images (8 items), glare (8 items), halos (8 items) and starbursts (8 items).
Time frame: 3 months postoperative
OSDI Score
The OSDI© is assessed on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores representing greater disability. The index demonstrates sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between normal subjects and patients with dry eye disease. The OSDI© is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring dry eye disease (normal, mild to moderate, and severe) and effect on vision-related function.
Time frame: 3 months postoperative
Uncorrected distance visual acuity
% of eyes in each level of uncorrected visual acuity (e.g. 20/20, 20/16, 20/12.5, 20/10 with logMAR chart).
Time frame: 3 months postoperative
