Compare two LASIK mapping methods for myopia and astigmatism
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 21 years or older and getting LASIK for your eyes
- Be able to understand the consent form and come back for a 1-month check
- Have mild nearsightedness/astigmatism (astigmatism under 3.0 diopters) and both eyes planned for “plano” (aiming for minimal prescription)
- Have good eye health, including adequate corneal thickness (pachymetry 490 microns or more) and a safe remaining cornea thickness (residual over 270 microns)
- Have stable glasses/contacts prescription (less than 0.50 diopters change in the past year)
- Stop soft contact lenses (if you use them) at least 3 days before the pre-op exam and surgery

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 types of LASIK surgery to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. It may help if you have healthy eyes, are 22 or older, and have a stable prescription within a certain range.
This study tests how well a new type of LASIK (called ray-tracing-guided) improves vision in low light and how satisfied patients are with the results. It is for people with mild to moderate nearsightedness who want to stop wearing glasses or contacts.
This trial compares two laser vision correction methods: SMILE surgery in one eye and LASIK surgery in the other eye. It is designed for people with mild to moderate nearsightedness and astigmatism to see which approach works better.
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.
This trial tests a new LASIK procedure using the WaveLight Plus laser. It aims to see how patients feel about their vision after surgery.
