Compare two eye laser procedures for vision correction
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of laser surgery for vision problems (PRK versus another approach called “WFO ablation”) to see which works better for clear sight. You may be a candidate if you meet specific eye measurements and can return for follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re a military dependent (DoD beneficiary) age 21–50
- Your eye measurements must fit PRK or LASIK (stable prescription with very small change)
- You must live within 60 miles and plan to stay nearby for at least 6 months after surgery
- You must be willing to attend all follow-up visits required by the study
- You should not want monovision (making one eye for distance and one for near)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial tests a very precise way to measure vision (0.05 diopter steps) for people getting SMILE laser eye surgery. The goal is to see if this fine-tuning leads to better results.
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 compares two ways to remove the outer layer of the cornea before laser vision correction (PRK): one uses a laser, the other uses a manual tool. The goal is to see which method helps patients heal better and see more clearly.
This trial compares two ways of mapping your eye to guide LASIK surgery for people with nearsightedness and mild astigmatism. It looks at how well vision (especially best-corrected vision) does after surgery one month later.
This study compares three laser eye surgeries—LASIK, SMILE, and PRK—to see which works best for people who have similar eye prescription needs. You may be a good fit if you’ve never had vision-correcting surgery before and you meet the eye-health safety checks.
This study tests a new laser (called TENEO 317 Model 2) for vision correction. If you're already scheduled for LASIK to fix nearsightedness or farsightedness (with or without astigmatism), you may be eligible. The study checks if this new laser is safe and works well.
