Pre-excimer laser and post-excimer laser refractive surgery measurements of scotopic pupil diameter using 2 pupillometers.

PURPOSE To compare a digital infrared pupillometer with a handheld light amplification pupillometer for measuring scotopic pupil size and to evaluate if the postoperative refractive changes of the cornea can influence pupil measurements. DESIGN Prospective noncomparative interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS One hundred eyes, 50 myopic (mean spherical equivalent [SE] refraction [+/- stan...

Innovations in Excimer Laser Refractive Technology – Focus on the WaveLight® EX500 Excimer Laser System
