Methods: One hundred ninety-six eyes (196 patients) with moderate to high astigmatism (≥ 1.75 D) treated with WFO or CWFG trans-PRK (101 and 95 eyes, respectively) were retrospectively registered. Safety, efficacy, predictability, vector analysis, and corneal aberrations were compared between groups preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively. Results: At postoperative 6 months, the mean logMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity was similar in the WFO (-0.07 ± 0.08) and CWFG (-0.07 ± 0.07) groups. Safety, efficacy, and predictability of refractive and visual outcomes were also similar. The correction indices were 1.02 ± 0.14 and 1.03 ± 0.13 in the WFO and CWFG groups, respectively, with no significant difference. The absolute values of the angle of error were significantly higher in the WFO group (2.28 ± 2.44 vs. 1.40 ± 1.40; P = 0.002). Corneal total root mean square higher-order aberrations and corneal spherical aberrations increased postoperatively in both groups; however, the change was smaller in the CWFG group. Corneal coma showed a significant increase postoperatively only in the WFO group. Conclusions: WFO and CWFG trans-PRK are safe and effective for correcting moderate to high astigmatism. However, CWFG trans-PRK provides a more predictable astigmatism correction axis and fewer induced corneal aberrations. Keywords: Transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy, Wavefront-optimized, Corneal Wavefront-guided, Astigmatism

Abstract
논문내용에 따르면
코웨이브 라섹은 각막 절삭량을 줄이고,
난시교정의 정확성을 높이는데 도움을 줍니다.
각막지형 맞춤형 시력교정술인 코웨이브 라섹은
개인마다 다른 각막지형과 특성을 정밀분석해
야간 빛 번짐, 대비감도 저하 등과 같은
광학적 부작용 우려를 낮춥니다.
The scatter plot shows the relationship between Target Induced Astigmatism (TIA) and Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA). Data points above the identity line indicate overcorrection, while points below indicate undercorrection.

코웨이브 라섹은
근시, 난시와 같은 저위 수차뿐만 아니라
시력의 질을 떨어뜨리는 고위수차를 개선해
똑같은 교정시력 1.0이라도
더욱 깨끗하고 편안한 시력을 선사합니다.
아이리움안과 의료팀은 앞서
SCI 학술지 JCRS 등재를 통해
'코웨이브 라섹의 고위수차 교정 효과'를
과학적으로 검증했습니다.
이런 우수한 연구성과를 인정받아
코웨이브 라섹은 시력교정술 재교정 및
원추각막 치료에도 활발히 시행되고 있습니다.
시력교정술의 새로운 미래를 만드는 연구!
앞으로도 아이리움안과는
시력교정술의 발전을 위해
최선의 노력을 다하겠습니다.
