Custom Topographic Neutralizing Technique (TNT) with Topographically-Guided (TG) laser to correct complications David T.C Lin Simon Holland ASCRS 2010 Boston, MA *no financial interests
2
Aim Evaluate custom Topographic Neutralizing Technique (TNT) using the Allegretto Wavelight laser Aberrated eyes including enlargement of small optical zones (OZ) and decentered ablation
3
Methods Retrospective consecutive case series 53 eyes: decentered ablations 62 eyes: symptomatic small optical zones, previously treated laser refractive surgery underwent topography-guided retreatment with Wavelight laser Follow-up: 1, 3, and 6 months Patient evaluation: symptom score, safety
4
Results Results at six months and one year: UCVA, BSCVA, topography, and predictability of centration from pupil center (0.92-0.30mm) 24% of eyes ≥1 lines; 71% no change 53 eyes with small optical zones: increase central monodioptric optical zone, 3.9- 5.6mm All eyes improved astigmatism, range 1.25- 6.75D Symptoms improved or resolved in 82% (n=47, DA and OZ), 18% no change

Discussion: Challenges in Treating Irregular Astigmatism Treatment planning difficult Induced refractive error - Topographic Neutralization method (TNT) can usually avoid need for 2 stage treatment Patients need to have realistic expectations Presently may be best surgical option for symptomatic patients with DA and small OZ (e.g. when poor wavefront capture )
12
Conclusions Topographic-guided ablation using the Allegretto Wavelight laser is safe and effective in the management of highly aberrated corneas after laser refractive surgery Treatment planning is challenging (predictability, Q factor correction), but can be improved by the Topographic Neutralization Technique
