Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare efficacy, safety and stability of Femtosecond assisted LASIK and implantable collamer lens implantation in correction of high myopia.
METHODS: This study was non-randomized comparative prospective consecutive interventional study. It included 74 eyes with high myopia (≥ -6 Ds) of 40 patients attended to the outpatient ophthalmic clinic of Sohag university hospitals from the period from Jan.2016 to Jan.2017.
The patients were divided into two groups depending on: Degree of myopia, corneal thickness and corneal tomography.
The first group (34 eyes) of 20 patients were subjected to implantable collamer lenses implantation and the second group (40 eyes) of 40 patients were subjected to femtosecond assisted LASIK.
RESULTS: Group one (ICL group) showed UCVA preoperative was (1.90±0.29) and UCVA postoperative was (0.27±0.21) with (p-value
