SMILE laser for stable nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new laser correction method called SMILE 4.0-VISULYZE to treat nearsightedness and other refractive errors. It may help people who are tired of glasses or contact lenses and want a quick, low-pain vision fix.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your eyeglass or contact lens prescription must have been stable for the past 2 years (changing less than half a step each year).
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- Your vision before surgery should be correctable to at least 20/25 (4.8 on the chart).
- You need to stop wearing soft contact lenses for at least 2 weeks (or hard lenses for at least 3 months) before surgery.
- You must not have any eye diseases, previous eye surgery, or certain health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases.

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 two types of laser eye surgery (SMILE and SMILE Xtra) to see which works better for treating nearsightedness. The goal is to help you see clearly without glasses or contacts.
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 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 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 study compares two different computer-guided surgical techniques for correcting nearsightedness using a laser eye procedure called SMILE. The research tests whether adjusting for your eye's natural alignment during surgery affects your vision results.
