Comparing laser eye surgery effects on vision quality
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of LASIK affect the quality of vision for people with mild to moderate nearsightedness. It aims to help patients understand which procedure might give them the best visual outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have mild to moderate nearsightedness (up to -6 diopters) with a small amount of astigmatism (up to -1.5 diopters).
- You have not had any previous eye surgery or use certain eye medications.
- You do not have corneal opacities (clouding of the cornea) or keratoconus (a cone-shaped cornea).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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 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 compares two methods for preparing the eye for laser vision correction (PRK): using a laser versus manual scraping to remove the thin outer layer of the cornea. The goal is to see which method gives better results and fewer side effects.
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.
