Comparing two alignment methods for astigmatism in SMILE surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of lining up the laser during SMILE surgery to correct astigmatism. The goal is to find out which method gives better vision results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- Your vision prescription must have been stable for at least one year.
- You must have nearsightedness with astigmatism (at least 0.75 diopters) in both eyes.
- Your corneas must be healthy and thick enough for SMILE laser surgery.
- You cannot have had any prior eye surgery or significant eye injury.
- You must be willing to have surgery on both eyes, attend follow-up visits, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
