About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Comparison of Fellow Eyes Undergoing LASIK With the Intralase FS 60 Versus the Intralase IFS

The purpose of the study is to compare the results of LASIK surgery when using two versions of a femtosecond laser in patients with nearsightedness with and without astigmatism.

Read the detailed description

The patients will have a comprehensive eye examination once they express an interest in the study. This includes a slit lamp examination of the front of the eye and a dilated fundoscopic examination of the back of the eye. If there is any pathology noted that would exclude the patient from the study, then we will inform the patient and make an appropriate referral. if the patient is deemed appropriate for the study after a comprehensive examination included computerized videokeratography, then they can be enrolled. The patient will undergo bilateral simultaneous eye surgery. Which eye is treated with the Intralase FS 60 and which eye is treated with Intralase IFS will be randomized so there is a 50% chance for either eye to receive one treatment. The patients will be seen on the day of surgery, post op day one, one month, three months, six months and one year. The patient will receive topical antibiotics in each eye for one week following the procedure. The patient will receive pred forte 1% ophthalmic drops for one week after treatment. The patient will also receive vigamox ophthalmic drops for four days after treatment. All of this is within the usual and customary standard of care for the treatment of patients undergoing LASIK surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LASIK with the iFS femtosecond laserProcedure or surgery

    Patients will undergo bilateral simultaneous LASIK surgery for myopia. One eye will have a LASIK flap created with the Intralase FS60 and the fellow eye will have a LASIK flap created with the Intralase iFS. Both eyes will undergo wavefront-guided LASIK surgery with the Visx CustomVue excimer laser.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Acuity

    Measured: One year

  2. Changes in 5% low contrast best corrected visual acuity

    Measured: One year

  3. Changes in corneal sensation

    Measured: One year

  4. Uncorrected Visual Acuity

    Measured: One year

  5. Stability of refractive outcome

    Measured: One year

  6. Changes in 25% low contrast best corrected visual acuity

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subjective Questionnaire

    Measured: 1 yr

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopia and Astigmatism, run by Stanford University at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 7 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?

Changes in Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Acuity (time frame: One year). The study lists 6 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 7 Mar 2019.
