        Purpose: To determine the amount of cyclotorsion and pupil centroid 
        shift and to compare visual outcomes and induction of high 
        order aberrations (HOA) between wavefront-guided LASIK with and 
        without iris registration (IR). Methods: Retrospective chart review 
        of subjects who underwent myopic custom LASIK (CustomVue, 
        AMO). Eyes were divided into 2 groups based on IR: group 1, IR not 
        enable (CV); and group 2, IR enabled (IR). Cyclotorsion, pupil centroid 
        shift, visual outcomes, and induction of high order aberrations 
        were evaluated and compared between the groups. Results: A total 
        of 221 eyes of 147 subjects were included in the analysis: CV, n = 73 
        and IR n = 148. Mean age was 37.7 ± 11.6 years and 35.8 ± 11.0 years 
        in CV and IR groups, respectively. The mean follow up was 
        42.7 ± 31.2 days in the CV group and 47.8 ± 40.4 days in the IR. Mean 
        preoperative spherical equivalent was - 3.19D ± 1.34 (- 1.12 to - 6.00) 
        and - 3.60D ± 1.44 (- 0.62 to - 6.00) in CV and IR groups, respectively. 
        Mean cyclotorsion was 3.5° ± 2.4 and 92% of shift was nasal. 84% of 
        eyes in the registration group had UCVA of 20/20 or better compared 
        75% of those without registration. The IR group showed approximately 
        50% less induction of HOA. Conclusion: Registration
        with cyclotorsion  
        and pupil centroid shift compensation seems essential
      to further  
      improve outcomes.
