Evaluation of Outcomes Using the Amo Advanced CustomVue Ilasik Procedure

Inclusion Criteria:Subjects MUST fulfill the following conditions to qualify for enrollment into the trial Both eyes must have a manifest refractive error from -0.50 D to -6.00 D, a cylinder component up to -3.00 D, and a maximum manifest spherical equivalent of -6.00 D.

21 years of age or older at the time of the pre-operative examination. Both eyes must have a BSCVA of 20/20 or better; Both eyes must have a minimum pupil size of at least 6.0mm in dim illumination on wavescan.

Both eyes must demonstrate refractive stability confirmed by clinical records or previous glasses. Refractive stability shall be documented by a change of less than or equal to 0.50 diopter (sphere and cylinder) at an exam at least 12 months prior to the baseline examination. The astigmatic axis must also be within 15 degrees for eyes with cylinder greater than 0.50 D.

Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and other study procedures.
