New laser vision correction study for nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been nearsighted (up to -8.00 Diopters) and may have some astigmatism (up to -3.00 Diopters), based on a special eye scan.
- Your glasses or contact lens prescription has stayed the same for the past year.
- You must stop wearing soft contact lenses for at least 3 days (or rigid/gas-permeable lenses for 2 weeks) before the first eye exam.

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 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 trial tests a new LASIK procedure using the WaveLight Plus laser. It aims to see how patients feel about their vision after surgery.
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 trial tests a laser device to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea without creating a flap. It may be a good option if you have stable vision and want to reduce your need for 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.
