5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  The study assessed long-term stability of astigmatism correction using femtosecond laser-created arcuate incisions.

• 2

  Preoperative astigmatism significantly reduced from 0.62±0.37 D to 0.32±0.27 D at 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively.

• 3

  More than 90% of eyes achieved surgically induced astigmatism within 0.5 D of the target-induced astigmatism.

• 4

  Mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was maintained from 4 to 6 weeks to 24-36 months postoperatively.

• 5

  The study supports femtosecond laser arcuate incisions as a precise option for managing low-to-moderate astigmatism.
