The next step is for you to schedule a consultation to determine your candidacy. During your consultation ask the surgeon all your questions.
*According to FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (SSED); A prospective, single-center, monocular, measurement-only clinical study was conducted to evaluate if the modified iDESIGN® settings proposed for iDESIGN Refractive Studio system software v2.1 (i.e., slower fogging prior to autorefraction) resulted in reducing instrument accommodation. For this study, the iDESIGN® Refractive Studio with standard settings and modified settings to allow slower fogging speed were used. Inclusion criteria included: myopic refractive error with sphere and spherical equivalent (SE) up to - 11.00 D, cylinder between 0.0 and -5.00 D, hyperopic refractive error with maximum SE of +6.00 D, and cylinder between 0.00 and 4.00 D, and mixed astigmatism where the magnitude of cylinder (up to 6.00 D) is greater than the magnitude of sphere, and the cylinder and sphere have opposite signs; subject age between 18 and 55 years; monocular distance best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of 20/25 or better in the study eye; no soft contact lens wear for at least 12 hours and no rigid gas permeable contact lens wear for 1 month prior to the day of study measurements in the study eye; no prior ocular surgery or injury, and no concomitant use of systemic or ocular medications that may affect vision; no concurrent participation in any other clinical study; and no pregnant or lactating women.
