Measuring corneal stiffness after clear laser eye surgery for myopia
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at the biomechanics (the physical properties) of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) after a CLEAR procedure, a laser surgery to correct nearsightedness. By measuring how the cornea responds, researchers hope to improve the safety and outcomes of this surgery for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You are scheduled to have a CLEAR procedure (a modern laser eye surgery) to correct nearsightedness (myopia) with mild astigmatism (less than 0.25 diopters).
- You have not had any eye surgery before.
- You do not have glaucoma, high eye pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue diseases, or severe allergies.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and give written consent in English or German.

This trial compares two types of laser eye surgery (CLEAR and SMILE) to see which works better for nearsightedness and astigmatism. If you are eligible, it could help find the best option for your vision.
This trial tests a new laser device (called TENEO 317 Model 2) for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) with or without astigmatism. The treatment is a type of laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea so you can see clearly without glasses or contacts.
This study compares a new type of laser surgery (ray-tracing guided) to three other standard laser methods for correcting nearsightedness with or without astigmatism. It aims to see which approach provides the best vision correction.
This study uses a special eye scanner to measure the thickness of the clear front layer of the eye (cornea) in people with nearsightedness or farsightedness. The goal is to understand how refractive errors affect corneal thickness, which may help with future treatment planning.
This study tests whether a small adjustment during laser eye surgery for nearsightedness improves your vision outcomes. You'll be randomly assigned to receive either standard surgery or surgery with a minor compensation adjustment, and researchers will compare how well you see afterward.
This study tests a newer version of LASIK eye surgery to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. The researchers want to see if this laser approach is safe and effective for people who are eligible.
