# IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
The warnings and precautions can be found in the device labeling.
# V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
A. Wavefront Measurement Device (WMD)
The first step in performing CustomCornea® LASIK surgery is to perform a wavefront examination on the patient using a wavefront measurement device (WMD) compatible with the LADARVision®4000 and the LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser Systems. At the present time, the only compatible WMD is the Alcon® LADARWave® CustomCornea® Wavefront System, the wavefront measurement device used in the clinical trial.
The LADARWave® CustomCornea® Wavefront System is indicated for measuring, recording, and analyzing visual aberrations (such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, coma and spherical aberration) and for displaying refractive error maps of the eye to assist in prescribing refractive corrections. This device is enabled to export wavefront data and associated anatomical registration information to a compatible treatment laser with an indication for wavefront-guided refractive surgery.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Essential features of the compatible WMD are as follows:
# 1. Patient Fixation and Fogging
The WMD includes a fixation optical subsystem that provides the patient with an unambiguous fixation point. In addition, the fixation subsystem includes adjustable optics to compensate for the patient's inherent refractive error. The optics are used to "fog" the eye, first clarifying the fixation target and then it optically adjusts beyond the patient's far point to minimize accommodation.
# 2. Centration
Prior to dilation, the WMD is used to record the geometric relationship between the natural daytime pupil center and the limbus of the eye. This information is then used to center the wavefront measurement and subsequent ablative treatment on the natural line of sight.
# 3. Wavefront Measurement
The WMD measures the wavefront profile of the eye with a high degree of accuracy and characterizes the profile using Zernike polynomials. The pupil must be large enough so that valid wavefront data can be obtained over a large area. Higher-order aberrations are more significant at night when the pupil is naturally larger. Therefore, when treating these aberrations, measurement over a large pupil provides the greatest utility.
# 4. Registration
The WMD uses synchronized video imagery and on-screen software reticules to record the relationship of the wavefront data to the limbus of the eye and to ink marks applied to the sclera just before the wavefront exam. This registration information is used to position the excimer ablation profile at the correct corneal location and cyclotorsional angle.
# 5. Data Export
The WMD has the ability to export the wavefront examination data as an electronic file to removable media for transfer to the LADARVision®4000 and LADAR6000™ Systems. The electronic file is structured in a specific format and contains essential patient information, centration/registration information, and the detailed aberration data. In addition, the electronic file is encrypted in a manner that can only be deciphered by the LADARVision®4000 and the LADAR6000™ Systems.
# B. Microkeratome
The LASIK procedure requires the use of a commercially available microkeratome that has been cleared for marketing via a premarket notification. The device used in this study consists of a head, plates, ring, handle, wrenches, shaft, motor, hand-piece, disposable blades, and power supply with footswitches and power cords. The system is completed with the applanation lens set, tonometer, corneal storage jar, optical zone marker, spatula, stop attachment, and digital thickness gauge.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The microkeratomes used in the clinical trial included the BD K-4000³ (manufactured by Becton-Dickinson), Hansatome⁴ (manufactured by Bausch & Lomb), and the Moria⁵ CB and LSK (manufactured by Moria).
# C. CustomCornea® Surgery Planning Software
The CustomCornea® Surgery Planning Software is a stand-alone computer application linking the diagnostic wavefront data with the surgical treatment on the LADARVision®4000 and LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser Systems. The planning software allows refinement of surgical parameters within the approved wavefront-guided indication for the LADARVision®4000 and LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser Systems and calculation of ablation depth.
After completing the surgery planning tasks, the planned treatment file is transferred to the LADARVision®4000 and LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser Systems. The LADARVision®4000 and LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser Systems software imports the treatment file, enforces the eligibility, calculates the excimer treatment pattern, and performs the surgery.
Software version 1.0 was used in the clinical trial. Software version 1.1 is the commercial release version.
# D. LADARVision®4000 Excimer Laser System
The LADARVision®4000 excimer laser beam is of Gaussian profile and small in diameter (<0.90mm). Corneal sculpting is achieved by delivering hundreds to thousands of excimer laser pulses to the eye in a complex pattern of spatially overlapping spots, and precision of this process depends on accurate placement of the laser pulses. The LADARVision®4000 Excimer Laser System incorporates the LADARTracker® closed-loop laser radar eye-tracking system to track and compensate for patient eye motion, including saccadic movements, during procedures so that each excimer laser pulse is delivered to the appropriate location on the cornea.
Rather than the refractive correction being entered manually by the physician based on phoropter refraction, the CustomCornea® treatment requires that the pre-operative aberrations in the eye be measured with a wavefront measurement device. The treatment is based on Zernike data derived from a wavefront measurement device, including treatment of lower-order sphere and astigmatism components and higher-order components, such as coma and spherical aberration. The electronic file that the LADARVision®4000 System receives from the wavefront measurement device includes the following information:
- Patient information, including name, identification number, and clinical prescription.
- Eye information, including OD/OS and the geometric relationship of the wavefront data to the limbus and to the pupil center.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
- Wavefront information, including a Zernike polynomial representation of the wavefront and the physical radius of that description.
The excimer laser beam characteristics (i.e., pulse energy, firing rate, fluence distribution at the treatment plane) are the same for Conventional and CustomCornea® treatment modalities. The Conventional LADARVision®4000 System treatment utilizes sphere, cylinder and axis components entered manually by the operator to generate the ablation profile. The CustomCornea® LASIK shaping algorithm utilizes aberration information unique to a given eye that is obtained from the WMD to guide the ablation of the cornea. The wavefront information is registered to the anatomical geometry of the eye using the WMD while the patient is sitting upright. This registered alignment information is passed to the LADARVision®4000 System, which allows for the compensation of this alignment information due to the natural cyclotorsion incurred when the patient assumes a prone position and uses the geometry information to accurately position the customized ablation profile on the eye.
The approved CustomCornea® ablation zone parameters, as used in the clinical trial, include a 6.5mm optical zone with a 1.25mm blend zone for a 9.0mm total ablation zone.
CustomCornea® hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism corrections are locked out for greater than +5.00D cycloplegic spherical equivalent and greater than -3.00D cylinder. A flag warning will appear when a correction above the approved indication is selected.
Features and components of the LADARVision®4000 Excimer Laser System include:
1. Excimer laser
This argon fluoride excimer laser produces 10 nanosecond pulses of ultraviolet radiation at a wavelength of 193 nanometers. The laser repetition rate is approximately 60 pulses per second for the LADARVision®4000 Excimer Laser System and approximately 92 pulses per second for the LADAR6000™ System. The characteristics of the laser beam at the corneal treatment plane include: a pulse energy of 2.4 to 3.0mJ; a beam diameter of less than 0.90mm; and average fluence of 180 to 240 mJ/cm².
2. Optical transmission system
The excimer laser passes through an optical telescope, followed by reflection off a series of mirrors, which position the excimer laser pulses in the correct locations at the treatment plane.
3. Energy monitoring and control
The laser pulse energy is monitored to ensure delivery of 2.4 to 3.0 mJ to the eye prior to surgery and during ablation.
4. Gas handling system
The excimer laser enclosure holds the laser, gas bottle, and gas-plumbing manifold. The gas bottle contains the pre-mixed gas, including argon, fluorine, and neon as the buffer gas. Gas flow is regulated through the system, responding to commands from the laser control electronics board.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
# 5. Active Closed-Loop Laser Radar Eye Tracking System
The LADARTracker® System actively tracks the position of the eye by irradiating it with pulses of 905 nm infrared “eye-safe” energy and analyzing characteristics of the returning laser radiation. This measurement occurs 4000 times each second to detect even rapid eye motion before significant movement of the cornea has occurred. The LADARTracker® System actively compensates for the detected motion, rather than simply disabling the laser when the eye position exceeds some tolerated error range.
# 6. Operating microscope
The stereo viewing operating microscope is located in the optics head. The dual optical paths are independent of the excimer beam path and the tracker mirrors.
# 7. Fixation target
A visible fixation target is mounted in the system to facilitate the patient looking in the direction of the excimer beam. The fixation target consists of a light emitting diode (LED), a pinhole aperture, an edge-illuminated reticule, and a lens.
# 8. Motorized Bed and Cross Beam Patient Positioning
A motorized patient bed, which moves on X, Y and Z axes, smoothly and rapidly positions the patient and facilitates bilateral procedures. Cross beam Class I lasers are used to place the cornea at a predetermined height for proper ablation.
# 9. System Software Control
The LADARVision®4000 System software enables the user to: properly center the treatment; make adjustments in the X and Y axes; adjust for cyclotorsion and correctly reference astigmatism; place a hinge guard to protect the flap during surgery; and properly match the alignment of the wavefront map to the ablation.
Software versions 5.09, 5.11, 5.13 and 5.13 (Build 7) were used in the clinical trial. Software version 5.2 is the commercial release version.
# 10. Plume Removal System
The plume removal system is housed within the calibration stage. During surgery the plume removal system is deployed to a pre-determined height and provides a constant level of plume removal during ablation.
# E. LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser System
The LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser System was approved on May 1, 2006. The LADAR6000™ laser is functionally equivalent to the LADARVision® 4000 in that:
1. The excimer laser engine has not changed;
2. The excimer laser beam characteristics at the eye plane are unchanged;
3. Infrared LADAR eye tracking remains unchanged;
4. The shot pattern algorithms are unchanged (for a given treatment, identical shot patterns are generated and the sequence and timing of these shots are identical); and,
5. Treatment procedures are the same.
Page 6 of 39

{6}
Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The differences between the two laser systems are:
1. Design changes in the LADAR6000™ Illumination System (2 new light sources for illumination during surgery: one to improve visualization of blood vessels, and the other to improve visualization of the pupil-iris boundary);
2. Tighter calibration controls to the LADAR6000™ with the addition of a software parameter to establish and monitor a Volume-Per-Shot (VPS) band to ensure the laser energy is within the acceptable energy levels;
3. Changes to the device labeling (name change to LADAR6000™); and,
4. Modifications to the user interface in the LADAR6000™ System Operation Manual.
The LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser System had only minor ergonomic and obsolescence changes to the LADARVision® 4000 Excimer Laser System. Additionally, an increase in the laser repetition rate from 60 Hz to 92 Hz was approved on May 1, 2006 for just the LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser System. All specs for beam shape, fluence, and wavelength were unchanged in the LADAR6000™. The shot pattern, algorithms, and frequency of operation were unchanged. The design changes were illumination and ergonomic features that affected some labeling. The complete system had validation and verification testing. Based on engineering reviews of this application, the use of the LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser System should not introduce any new safety or effectiveness problems regarding wavefront-guided LASIK treatment of mixed astigmatism. Therefore, the LADAR6000™ Excimer Laser System is considered comparable to the LADARVision® 4000 Excimer Laser System for this indication for use, and PMA approval includes both models.
# VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
There are currently several other alternatives for the correction of hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism:
Automated Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK)
Conductive Keratoplasty (CK)
Contact Lenses
Conventional Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK - based on phoropter refraction)
Conventional Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK - based on phoropter refraction)
Laser Thermal Keratoplasty (LTK)
Radial Keratotomy (RK)
Spectacles
Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A prospective patient should fully discuss with his/her care provider these alternatives in order to select the correction method that best meets his/her expectation and lifestyle.
# VII. MARKETING HISTORY
In general, the device has been marketed in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam. The LADARVision®4000 and LADAR6000™ System have not been withdrawn from marketing for any reason relating to the safety and effectiveness of the device.

### VIII. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DEVICE ON HEALTH
Potential adverse effects associated with LASIK include: loss of best-spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA); worsening of patient complaints such as double vision, sensitivity to bright lights, increased difficulty with night vision, fluctuations in vision; increase in intraocular pressure; corneal haze; secondary surgical intervention; corneal infiltrate or ulcer; corneal epithelial defect; corneal edema; problems associated with the flap including a lost, misplaced or misaligned flap; retinal detachment; and retinal vascular accidents.
Please refer to Section X.F.2.e (Safety Outcomes) for a complete listing of adverse events and complications observed during the clinical study.
### IX. SUMMARY OF PRECLINICAL STUDIES
A series of pre-clinical tests were conducted upon initial development for conventional refractive surgery procedures prior to entry into human clinical trials. Those tests included algorithm simulations and ablation profiles using plastic blocks, as well as animal testing. Please refer to the SSED for the original PMA (P970043) for a summary of the pre-clinical testing.
A series of pre-clinical tests were conducted on the CustomCornea® algorithms prior to entering human clinical trials. These tests included algorithm validation, which tested the ablation shot pattern in both an ablation simulation program and actual PMMA substrate (surrogate) ablation experiments. Excellent agreement was demonstrated between the results obtained from PMMA substrate and simulated ablations. The CustomCornea® algorithm reproduced the results obtained with the existing conventional algorithm and demonstrated accuracy in performing more complex ablations. This algorithm validation provided sufficient evidence to proceed to human clinical trials.
### X. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL STUDIES
The Sponsor performed a clinical study of wavefront-guided CustomCornea® LASIK correction of hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism using the LADARVision®4000 Excimer Laser System in the U.S. under an investigational device exemption application (IDE G950213). In addition, one foreign site collected data under an investigational device application in Canada using a protocol that was the same as the U.S. protocol in terms of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, study procedures, patient measurements, and the treatment applied to the eye. Therefore, data from the U.S. and Canadian centers were pooled for the analysis of safety and effectiveness. A summary of the clinical trial is presented below.
### A. Study Objective
The primary objective of the clinical investigation of the LADARVision®4000 Excimer Laser System for wavefront-guided CustomCornea® LASIK correction of hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism was to establish safety and effectiveness. Secondary study objectives included 1) to obtain preoperative and postoperative wavefront data to aid in the understanding of refractive and corneal shape changes as a result of the surgery and postoperative healing; and 2) to analyze the relationship between quality of vision indicators calculated from the wavefront data and clinical outcomes.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
# B. Study Design
The initial study design in the U.S. protocol began as a prospective, randomized, unmasked multi-center trial, where one eye of each subject was randomly assigned CustomCornea® treatment based on data from the wavefront system and the fellow eye was assigned conventional treatment based on cycloplegic phoropter refraction. For this initial subgroup of subjects, the fellow eye served as a contralateral control.
The U.S. study was changed to a prospective, non-randomized, unmasked, multi-center trial, where one or both eyes of a subject received wavefront-guided CustomCornea® treatment. An equivalent study design was also in progress under a Canadian protocol. In this case, the primary control was the preoperative state of the treated eye for comparison with postoperative outcomes.
# C. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
Recruited subjects had the study details and follow-up requirements explained to them and were asked to sign an Informed Consent Document preoperatively. To be eligible for inclusion into the study, hyperopic subjects must have had a preoperative cycloplegic refraction at the spectacle plane of up to +6.00D sphere with up to -6.00D astigmatism (in minus cylinder convention) and up to +6.00D spherical equivalent (SE). Enrollment of hyperopic and hyperopic astigmatic eyes in the study occurred over the preoperative cycloplegic refractive range of +0.75D to +6.00D sphere with up to -5.00D astigmatism and up to +5.75D SE, where the absolute cycloplegic cylinder in minus cylinder convention was less than or equal to the sphere.
Stability of refraction must have been established and documented using previous clinical records or measurement of spectacles. Stability was demonstrated by a change in the manifest sphere and cylinder over the prior 12 months of less than or equal to 0.50D. If a year-old refraction was not available, the change in refraction must have been 0.50D or less per year since the last documented refraction in both the manifest sphere and cylinder to a 1.00D maximum SE change.
The manifest and cycloplegic refraction measured at the preoperative examination must have been within 1.00D of each other in the sphere and cylinder components. In addition, the cycloplegic refraction could not differ by more than 1.00D in sphere or cylinder from the attempted correction determined by the wavefront system.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
For the contralateral treatment group, the cycloplegic refraction between the subject's two eyes could not differ by more than 1.00D in sphere or cylinder. In addition, subjects must have been willing to have LASIK correction in both eyes within a 2-week period. These two criteria were not applicable to subjects treated under the bilateral CustomCornea® treatment study design.
Subjects must have been at least 18 years of age and had a best-spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/25 or better in the operative eye(s). Subjects must have been willing to return for scheduled follow-up examinations for 9 months after surgery and have their eyes pharmacologically dilated at the required visits.
Subjects who were contact lens wearers were requested to discontinue contact lens wear for a minimum of 2 weeks for soft contact lenses and 3 weeks for hard contact lenses (RGP/PMMA) prior to the preoperative examination. Subjects who had previously worn hard lenses were required to have two examinations conducted 2 to 3 weeks apart to show stability of refraction without lens wear. Prior to surgery, subjects were not to wear their contact lenses in the operative eye(s) for 2 to 3 weeks for soft and hard contact lenses, respectively.
All eyes were required to be treated for a target of emmetropia. All surgeries performed in the study were subject to approval by the Sponsor.
Patients with the following conditions could not be included in the study:
- previous corneal, intraocular, or strabismus surgery in the operative eye(s)
- history of or active clinically significant or vision threatening ocular disease or pathology
- clinically significant corneal scar within the ablation zone or other corneal abnormality such as recurrent erosion or severe basement membrane disease
- signs of keratoconus
- irregular corneal astigmatism
- history of herpes keratitis
- autoimmune disease, connective tissue disease, clinically significant atopic syndrome or diabetes
- use of chronic systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapy
- use of systemic medication with significant ocular side effects
- pregnant or lactating females
- use of ophthalmic medications other than artificial tears for treatment of an ocular pathology
- severe dry eye syndrome unresolved by treatment
- known allergy to study medications
- glaucoma or glaucoma filtering surgery
- participation in another ophthalmic clinical trial
- calculated residual posterior stromal thickness of less than 250 microns
- unable to achieve a pupillary dilation of ≥7mm

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
D. Study Plan, Patient Assessments, and Effectiveness Criteria
All patients were expected to return for follow-up at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, 6 and 9 months postoperatively. All CustomCornea® treatments in the study were conducted with use of an optical zone of 6.5mm with a blend zone of 1.25mm for a total ablation zone of 9.0mm.
Under the contralateral treatment study design, patients were required to have their fellow eye treated with Conventional LASIK on the same day or within 2 weeks of the CustomCornea® treatment in the primary eye. Under the bilateral CustomCornea® treatment study design, patients were permitted to have the fellow eye treated on the same day as the primary eye or any time thereafter provided there is no active complication or adverse event for the primary eye.
Retreatments were permitted after the 3-month follow-up visit based on these criteria:
1. An uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) worse than 20/25 or residual sphere or cylinder greater than or equal to 0.50D at both of the two most recent consecutive visits that are at least one month apart.
2. Stable refraction with the sphere and cylinder components within 0.50D on two most recent consecutive visits that are at least one month apart.
3. Stable UCVA (i.e., within one line) on two consecutive visits at least one month apart.
4. Subject's signature on a separate Retreatment Informed Consent document, wherein the subject is informed of the risks associated with retreatment.
5. The eligibility criteria are met and an ophthalmic evaluation (including visual acuity, manifest refraction, and slit lamp) is done to establish the preoperative condition of the eye.
6. Prior written approval from the Sponsor of the study.
Retreatment for the purpose of correcting residual refractive error was not considered a treatment failure. Retreated subjects were exited from the study and re-entered as a retreatment case. Results of retreated eyes were analyzed separately from the primary treatment population.
No other ocular surgery procedures were allowed unless deemed medically necessary by the Investigator. The Investigator was required to notify the Sponsor prior to any secondary surgical intervention, except in the case of an emergency in which case notification must occur as soon as possible.
In the event of a miscreated flap with the microkeratome, considered an adverse event in the study, a second cut with the microkeratome with completion of the laser ablation procedure was allowed after a minimum of 3 months. Approval from the Medical Monitor was required prior to treating an eye with a miscreated flap.
Preoperatively, the patient's medical and ocular histories were recorded. The objective parameters measured during the study included: uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle corrected visual acuity, pupil size, vertex distance, manifest and cycloplegic refraction, wavefront measurement, contrast sensitivity, intraocular pressure, angle assessment, slit lamp and dilated fundus examination. The following objective parameters were collected preoperatively and only as needed postoperatively: corneal thickness, corneal topography, and keratometry. The subjective parameters measured during the study included a subjective questionnaire.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The primary effectiveness variables for this study were improvement of uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), predictability and stability of manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) and manifest cylinder, reduction of wavefront error, including higher-order aberrations and subject satisfaction. The safety parameters were preservation of BSCVA, absence of significant findings in slit lamp and fundus examination, absence of significant intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation, and incidence of complications and adverse events.
# E. Study Period, Investigational Sites, and Demographics
# 1. Study Period and Investigational Sites
The Primary Cohort enrollment for the CustomCornea® wavefront-guided hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism LASIK study occurred between December 11, 2002 and October 14, 2004. All eyes were treated based on the Zernike data from the wavefront measurement system including lower-order aberrations, such as sphere and cylinder and higher-order aberrations, such as spherical aberration and coma. Eleven investigational sites enrolled subjects in the Primary Cohort, including ten U.S. sites and one Canadian site.
# 2. Demographics
The demographics of the CustomCornea® study (Table 1) were typical for a refractive surgery trial performed in the U.S. The mean subject age was 49.8 ± 9.2 years with a range from 19 to 70 years. The majority of subjects were Caucasian (95.4%) and the remaining subjects were Hispanic (2.9%) and Black (1.7%). Slightly more males (54.0%) than females (46.0%) participated in the study. The distribution of right and left eyes that received treatment was approximately equal (51.2% vs. 48.8%). While most subjects (59.5%) did not wear contact lenses prior to surgery, 37.6% wore soft contact lenses and 2.9% wore rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. Preoperative patient characteristics that were found to associate with outcomes are discussed in Section X.F.2.j. (Statistical Analysis Outcomes).

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
# F. Data Analysis and Results
The Primary Safety Cohort consisted of 346 eyes with a preoperative cycloplegic refractive range of +0.75D to +6.00D sphere with up to -5.00D cylinder and up to +5.75D spherical equivalent. The Primary Effectiveness Cohort consisted of 297 eyes with a preoperative cycloplegic refractive range of +0.75D to +6.00D sphere with up to -3.00D cylinder and up to +5.00D spherical equivalent (Table 2). A spherical eye was defined as having less than -0.50D preoperative cycloplegic cylinder and an astigmatic eye was defined as having at least -0.50D preoperative cycloplegic cylinder.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
# b. Stability of Outcome
Stability of MRSE was analyzed as paired differences in MRSE between 1 and 3 months, between 3 and 6 months, and between 6 and 9 months. Analyses were performed for the entire Primary Effectiveness Cohort with data available at any interval and for consistent cohorts with data available at each interval over time (Table 9).
The data meet the FDA guidance document criterion of at least 95% having a change in MRSE of ≤ 1.00D between all intervals. Refractive stability was reached between 3 and 6 months with 99.6% of the eyes demonstrating a change ≤ 1.00D of MRSE; a mean change in MRSE of 0.04D ± 0.29D between 3 and 6 months with a rate of 0.01D per month; a decrease in the mean change in MRSE from 1 month to 6 months; and a 95% confidence interval (0.00, 0.07) that includes zero for the mean change between 3 and 6 months. Stability was confirmed between 6 and 9 months.

# c. Effectiveness Outcomes
The outcomes for UCVA and MRSE by visit are shown for all eyes in the Primary Effectiveness Cohort (Table 10) and by refractive type (Table 11). The effectiveness parameters are further stratified by preoperative cycloplegic refraction spherical equivalent (CRSE) at 6 months (Table 12).
Preoperatively, 33.3% of eyes had a UCVA of 20/40 or better. At 6 months, the UCVA was 20/20 or better in 59.1% of eyes, 20/25 or better in 80.8% and 20/40 or better in 95.3%. For those eyes with a preoperative best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/20 or better, a UCVA of 20/20 or better was achieved in 62.9% of eyes at 6 months.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Accuracy of MRSE was within 0.50D of emmetropia in 70.7% of eyes, within 1.00D in 88.4% and within 2.00D in 98.6% at 6 months. Of the eyes that did not achieve an MRSE within 1.00D of emmetropia at 6 months, 3.3% of eyes were undercorrected by >1.00D of MRSE and 8.3% of eyes were overcorrected.
Whereas the mean MRSE (-0.09D ± 0.69D) was slightly myopic at 6 months, the mean CRSE (+0.13D ± 0.64D) was slightly hyperopic but within 0.25D of the mean MRSE. Accuracy of CRSE at 6 months was within 0.50D of emmetropia in 65.6% of eyes, within 1.00D in 89.1% and within 2.00D in 99.6%. At 6 months, 6.9% of eyes were undercorrected by >1.00D of CRSE and 4.0% of eyes were overcorrected.
The effectiveness data meet the criteria established in the FDA Guidance document for at least 85% of eyes achieving a UCVA of 20/40 or better and accuracy of MRSE within 0.50D in at least 50% of eyes and within 1.00D in 75% of eyes at all postoperative intervals.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Effectiveness of astigmatic correction was evaluated at the 6-month point of stability for hyperopic astigmatic eyes. The mean percentage reduction in absolute manifest cylinder was 53.3% for all eyes with a greater percentage reduction in eyes with higher preoperative cylinder (Table 14). The mean correction ratio based on vector analysis of manifest cylinder was 1.13 for all astigmatic eyes and approximately 1.00 for eyes with -1.00D to -3.00D preoperative manifest cylinder (Table 15). Astigmatic correction by cycloplegic cylinder reflected similar trends to manifest cylinder.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
# d. Wavefront Outcomes
At 6 months, there was an average reduction in total RMS wavefront error by 63.9% and an average increase in higher-order aberrations by 23.6% from preoperative for all eyes in the Primary Effectiveness Cohort with data available at 6 months (N=261). Table 16 displays the preoperative and 6-month total wavefront error and higher-order aberrations through 6th-order for eyes with data at preoperative, 1, 3 and 6 months (6-month consistent cohort; N=256). Spherical aberration decreased in magnitude at 6 months from preoperative with a mean directional shift from positive spherical aberration (0.249μm) preoperatively towards negative spherical aberration (-0.147μm) postoperatively, as expected from a hyperopic ablation profile.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Wavefront-guided CustomCornea® LASIK was compared to the baseline established for Conventional LASIK using preoperative cycloplegic phoropter refraction treated under the same study protocol. Wavefront aberrations at 6 months were analyzed up to 4th-order for comparison.
In a Comparison Cohort, CustomCornea® and Conventional eyes were analyzed over the same preoperative refractive range of +0.75D to +4.25D sphere, up to -3.00D cylinder and up to +4.00D SE. Compared to Conventional eyes, CustomCornea® eyes showed statistically significantly lower mean amplitudes of total root mean square (RMS), higher-order aberrations, coma, and trefoil postoperatively with adjustment of baseline differences (ANCOVA, p<0.05). Table 18 shows that on average, CustomCornea® LASIK resulted in a greater mean reduction in total RMS error (62.3% vs. 46.1%) and less induction of higher-order aberrations (8.0% vs. 29.2%) from preoperative compared to Conventional LASIK. On average, both CustomCornea® and Conventional eyes showed a mean directional shift from positive spherical aberration preoperatively towards negative spherical aberration postoperatively, which was not statistically significant between the treatment groups.
A vision simulation program was used to model the effect of mean higher-order aberration magnitudes at 6 months after CustomCornea® LASIK versus Conventional LASIK in the Matched Cohort. The difference in image blurring is comparable to a defocus error difference of approximately one tenth of a diopter (i.e., ~0.1D for the CustomCornea® simulation and ~0.2D for the Conventional simulation).

To further evaluate the treatment types, a subgroup of subjects who underwent contralateral treatment of CustomCornea® LASIK in the primary eye and Conventional LASIK in the fellow eye were analyzed. This Contralateral Cohort had a preoperative cycloplegic refractive range of +0.75D to +4.25D sphere, up to -2.25D cylinder and up to +3.88D SE. Compared to Conventional eyes, CustomCornea® eyes in the Contralateral Cohort showed statistically significantly lower mean amplitudes of total RMS, higher-order aberrations, and trefoil postoperatively (ANCOVA, p<0.05). Table 20 shows that on average, CustomCornea® LASIK resulted in a greater mean reduction in total RMS error (62.2% vs. 51.2%) and less induction of higher-order aberrations (5.2% vs. 20.7%) from preoperative compared to Conventional LASIK. On average, both CustomCornea® and Conventional eyes showed a mean directional shift from positive spherical aberration preoperatively towards negative spherical aberration postoperatively, which was not statistically significant between the treatment groups.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
# c. Safety Outcomes
The key safety outcomes for all 346 eyes in the Primary Safety Cohort are presented for all eyes in Table 22 and by refractive type in Table 23. These parameters are stratified by preoperative CRSE at 6 months in Table 24.
The safety data meet the criteria established in the FDA guidance document of less than 5% of eyes with a loss of >2 lines of BSCVA, less than 1% having a BSCVA of worse than 20/40, and less than 5% having induced astigmatism >2D.
A trend for early postoperative loss of ≥ 2 lines of BSCVA at 1 month with recovery over time was observed, which is consistent with trends observed previously after Conventional hyperopic LASIK surgery. All eyes except two have shown resolution of the BSCVA to within 1 line of preoperative BSCVA at a later follow-up examination. Of the two eyes with unresolved loss at 9 months, one eye improved with RGP contact lens refraction to preoperative level and the other eye had idiopathic choroidal neovascularization at 9 months, which was an adverse event unrelated to the device.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was measured using a standard (high-contrast) visual acuity chart under dim room illumination (10-12 cd/m²). All eyes had a BSCVA of 20/32 or better at 6 months. At least 73.7% of eyes at all postoperative intervals and 81.6% of eyes at 6 months had no change or a gain in BSCVA from preoperative (Table 25).
