REFRACTIVE SURGERY LASER REVISED DRAFT IDE GUIDANCE INCLUDES HIGH MYOPIA AND HYPEROPIA, WITH OR WITHOUT ASTIGMATISM; POLICY SLATED FOR PANEL REVIEW OCT. 21
Refractive lasers used to treat high myopia should provide uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/40 or better in at least 75% of postoperative eyes, FDA says in a draft revision of its "Checklist of Information Usually Submitted in an Investigational Device Exemption for Refractive Surgery Lasers." The draft, released Sept. 5, defines high myopia as greater than -7.00 diopters, with or without astigmatism. For hyperopia (with or without astigmatism), the target endpoint for UCVA of 20/40 cited is 85%.
