Comparison of a Laser Keratome to a Mechanical Microkeratome
A study testing Amadeus Microkeratome and IntraLase in people with Myopia and Astigmatism, run by Medical University of South Carolina.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the INTRALASE®, a laser keratome which creates a corneal flap, and compare it to a mechanical microkeratome (Amadeus™). Our hypothesis is that there is no difference between the 2 devices. Read more about this study

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Amadeus Microkeratome and IntraLase in people with Myopia and Astigmatism, run by Medical University of South Carolina.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Visual acuity. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2006; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
