Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who have up to -7.00D of spherical equivalent myopia or myopia with astigmatism, with up to -7.00D of spherical component and up to 3.00 D of astigmatic component at the spectacle plane in both eyes.
  • Subjects must have a stable refraction as documented by previous clinical records. Spherical equivalent has not progressed at a rate of more than 0.50D per year prior to the baseline examination in both eyes or as documented by clinical judgment by the investigator.
  • Subjects who wear contact lenses must discontinue wear at least 3 days for soft and at least 3 weeks for RGP prior to the preoperative evaluation or surgery, in either eye.
  • Subjects must have visual acuity correctable to at least 20/20 in both eyes.
  • Subjects must be at least 18 years of age.
  • Subjects must be willing and able to return for scheduled follow up examinations for twelve months after LASIK surgery.
  • Subjects must sign and be given a copy of the written Informed Consent form.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects for whom both eyes do not meet all inclusion criteria and either eye meets any exclusion criteria.
  • Subjects for whom the combination of their baseline corneal thickness and the planned operative parameters for the LASIK procedure would result in less than 250 microns of remaining posterior corneal thickness below the flap postoperatively in either eye.
  • Eyes for which the baseline standard manifest refraction exhibits greater than 1.00D more minus in sphere power, or a difference of greater than 0.75 D in cylinder power.
  • Subjects desiring spherical under correction in one eye (i.e. no monovision correction is permitted).
  • Subjects for whom the preoperative assessment of the ocular topography and /or aberrations indicates that either eye is not a suitable candidate for LASIK vision correction procedure. Examples include frank or forme frust keratoconus, corneal warpage, pellucid marginal degeneration, etc.
  • Subjects with clinically significant dry eye syndrome or clinically significant blepharitis in either eye.
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Subjects with anterior segment pathology, including clinically significant cataracts or corneal scarring or neovascularization in either eye.
  • Subjects with residual, recurrent, active ocular or eyelid disease, including any corneal abnormality (specifically, recurrent corneal erosion, severe basement membrane disease) in either eye.
  • Subjects with ophthalmoscopic signs of progressive or unstable myopia or keratoconus (or keratoconus suspect) in either eye.
  • Subjects with unstable (distorted/not clear) corneal mires on central keratometry in either eye.
  • Subjects who have undergone previous intraocular or corneal surgery of any kind, including any type of surgery for either refractive or therapeutic purposes in either eye.
  • Subjects who have a history of Herpes zoster or Herpes simplex keratitis.
  • Subjects on chronic systemic corticosteroid or other immunosuppressive therapy that may affect wound healing, any immunocompromised subjects, and subjects with clinically significant atopic disease, connective tissue disease, or diabetes.
  • Subjects with a history of steroid-responsive rise in intraocular pressure, glaucoma, or preoperative Intraocular pressure>23 mm Hg in either eye.
  • Subjects with macular pathology in either eye.
  • Subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to be pregnant during the course of the study.
  • Subjects with known sensitivity to planned study concomitant medications.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi Center Clinical Comparison of Fellow Eyes Undergoing Lasik Using the Wavelight Allegretto Wave™ Excimer Laser in One Eye and the Amo/Visx Customvue™ or the Ladarvision 4000 Excimer Laser System in the Contralateral Eye

The purpose of this study is to compare LASIK outcomes using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ wavefront guided or optimized excimer laser treatment with the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ and the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser treatment.

Standard refractive outcomes such as uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity, and intended vs. achieved postoperative refractions will be evaluated; in addition, high order optical aberrations, contrast sensitivity, and topography will be measured.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to compare WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ wavefront guided or optimized excimer laser treatment with the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ and the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser treatment using both subjective and objective outcome measures. This comparison will be made between fellow eyes of the same patient following excimer laser ablation using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ Excimer Laser System in one eye and the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ or the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser in the contralateral eye .

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 1 Day Postoperative Lasik Uncorrected Visual Acuity

    Visual acuity measured without glasses or contact lenses. LogMar is a method of measuring visual acuity. Generally speaking, the U.S. population is familiar with 20/20 visual acuity reference. Samples of LogMar equivalent values would be 20/20=0.0 LogMar, 20/25=0.1 LogMar, 20/16=-0.1, etc.

    Measured: 1 Day

  2. 1 Week Postoperative Lasik Uncorrected Visual Acuity

    Visual acuity measured withouth glasses or contact lenses. LogMar is a method of measuring visual acuity. Generally speaking, the U.S. population is familiar with 20/20 visual acuity reference. Samples of LogMar equivalent values would be 20/20=0.0 LogMar, 20/25=0.1 LogMar, 20/16=-0.1, etc.

    Measured: 1 week post op

  3. 1 Month Postoperative Lasik Visual Acuity

    Visual acuity measured without glasses or contact lenses. LogMar is a method of measuring visual acuity. Generally speaking, the U.S. population is familiar with 20/20 visual acuity reference. Samples of LogMar equivalent values would be 20/20=0.0 LogMar, 20/25=0.1 LogMar, 20/16=-0.1, etc.

    Measured: 1 Month Postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Excimer Laser, AMO/VISX CustomVue™ and LADARVision 4000 excimer laser in people with Myopia and Astigmatism, run by Durrie Vision at 2 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 18 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 1 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Mar 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

1 Day Postoperative Lasik Uncorrected Visual Acuity (time frame: 1 Day). The study lists 3 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 1 Mar 2013.
