Comparing Wavefront-guided and Ray Tracing-guided LASIK for Nearsightedness
This study is comparing two types of LASIK surgery, Wavefront-guided LASIK and Ray Tracing-guided LASIK, to see which one works better for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. If you join, you will have Wavefront-guided LASIK in one eye and Ray Tracing-guided LASIK in your other eye. Both are FDA-approved procedures. We are looking for people aged 22 to 59 with healthy eyes, nearsightedness between -1.00 and -10.00 diopters, and astigmatism of 3.00 diopters or less. The main goal is to measure your uncorrected vision one year after surgery to see if there's a difference between the two methods. The study plans to enroll up to 70 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study will enroll up to 70 participants. Each participant will have Wavefront-guided LASIK in one eye and Ray Tracing-guided LASIK in the other, with the choice of which eye gets which procedure assigned randomly.
- What's involved
- You will undergo LASIK surgery in both eyes. Your uncorrected vision will be measured one year after the surgery.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your uncorrected visual acuity will be measured one year after the surgery.
