5-year follow-up of SMILE for farsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study checks how your eyes are doing 5 years after a SMILE procedure to correct farsightedness (hyperopia). If you took part in the original PHOBOS study, this is a one-time follow-up visit to see how well the procedure held up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have already had the SMILE procedure for farsightedness as part of the earlier PHOBOS study.
- You need to be able to understand the study information and give your permission (informed consent).
- You must be willing to come to all the appointments and tests required for this one-time visit.
- You should not have any serious eye or general health problems that would prevent you from completing the visit.

This study tests a treatment to improve vision in people who still have an ongoing focusing problem (residual nearsightedness or farsightedness) about 6 months after receiving a trifocal intraocular lens. It may help if your vision is still reduced despite having the lens implanted.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
