Study of leftover lens material after SMILE eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how leftover lens material after SMILE eye surgery might affect tiny vision imperfections. It aims to help people with nearsightedness get clearer, sharper results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your nearsightedness must be no more than -10.0 diopters (a moderate to high level) and stable for at least 2 years.
- You must have good vision with glasses or contacts (corrected vision of 20/20 or better).
- You cannot have worn contact lenses for at least 2 weeks before the study.
- Your cornea must be thick enough to leave a safe layer of at least 280 micrometers after surgery.
- You should not have certain eye diseases, diabetes, or severe mental health conditions.

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 study looks at how the front “clear window” of the eye (the cornea) behaves after a lens-based laser procedure for nearsightedness. The goal is to better understand corneal strength in people getting this treatment, which may help improve safety and outcomes.
This study looks at how wearing soft contact lenses affects the cornea and vision quality in people with high myopia before they have SMILE laser surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better prepare patients for the procedure.
This trial studies how well the SMILE laser procedure works to correct very high nearsightedness. It may help people with strong focusing power problems, as long as their eye measurements and cornea shape meet the study limits.
This study compares two types of laser eye surgery (SMILE and SMILE Xtra) to see which works better for people with high myopia. It aims to help you understand which option might give you the best vision correction.
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.
