LASIK Surgery Comparison for Myopia and Astigmatism

This study is comparing two types of LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) eye surgery for people with myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (blurry vision due to an imperfectly shaped eye). You might be able to join if you are between 21 and 38 years old and need LASIK. The study is testing if "Contoura with Phorcides" works better than "WaveLight Wavefront Optimized" LASIK. Researchers will look at how well you can see without glasses or contacts three months after surgery to see which method is more successful. The current status of this study is unclear, so it's not known if they are actively looking for participants.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 120 participants to compare two different LASIK procedures.
What's involved
You would undergo LASIK eye surgery and need to complete a one-month post-operative visit.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your vision will be measured three months after surgery to assess the primary outcome.
