This study aimed to assess the surface quality of cap, stroma and lenticular surfaces created using low-energy femtosecond laser lenticule extraction (Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8). Twenty-four porcine eyes were divided into four groups (n = 6 each): two with optimal laser power (32%) with posterior curvature equivalent to a spherical correction of -2D and -5D, respectively and the other two with high power (64%) with spherical correction of -2D and -5D respectively. Samples were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface morphology was evaluated using a standard scoring system; surface relief, surface regularity, extent and position of irregularities were graded by four independent clinicians. Eyes with 32% power and -2D correction had significantly less size of the irregular area than those with -5D; however, no significant difference was found between the two groups with 64% power. When comparing eyes with -2D correction, the size of the irregular area was lesser with 32% power. Surface relief was lesser with -5D correction with 32% power than 64% power. Low-energy femtosecond laser lenticule extraction (Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8) produces good surface quality results. There is a tendency for smoother surface stromal quality with lower power settings than a higher power.
本研究旨在评估使用低能量飞秒激光微透镜提取术(Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8)制作的帽、基质和晶状体表面的表面质量。将 24 只猪眼分为四组(每组 6 只):两组采用最佳激光功率(32%),后表面曲率分别与球镜矫正 -2D 和 -5D 相当,另外两组采用高功率(64%),球镜矫正分别为 -2D 和 -5D。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对样本进行分析。使用标准评分系统评估表面形态;四位独立临床医生对表面隆起、表面规则性、不规则性的程度和位置进行分级。功率为 32%且矫正 -2D 的眼的不规则区域面积明显小于矫正 -5D 的眼;然而,功率为 64%的两组之间没有发现显著差异。当比较矫正 -2D 的眼时,功率为 32%的眼的不规则区域面积较小。功率为 32%时,表面隆起程度低于功率为 64%且矫正 -5D 的眼。低能量飞秒激光微透镜提取术(Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8)可产生良好的表面质量结果。与高功率相比,较低的功率设置可使基质表面质量更光滑。
