Understanding vision quality factors after smile eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how SMILE eye surgery (a type of laser vision correction) affects tiny imperfections in the way light enters the eye, especially when a thin layer of corneal tissue is left in place. It may help people with nearsightedness understand how this surgery option affects their vision quality.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- Your nearsightedness must be within a certain range (about -10 diopters or less).
- Your vision with glasses or contacts must be fairly good (20/20 or better).
- Your prescription must have been stable for at least 2 years.
- You need to stop wearing contact lenses for at least 2 weeks before the eye exam.
- Your corneas must be thick enough for the procedure (residual thickness of at least 280 micrometers).

This trial tests if an AI program can predict complications and recovery after SMILE eye surgery for nearsightedness. It may help you understand your risks if you are a candidate for this surgery.
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 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 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 trial tests if a newer laser machine (VISUMAX 800) works as well as the current standard (VISUMAX 500) for correcting nearsightedness. It may help decide if the newer technology offers better outcomes for patients.
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.
