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 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects have to be at least 18 years of age.
  • Subjects have to be able to read, understand, and sign a statement of Informed Consent (be given a copy of the signed Informed Consent Form (ICF).
  • Subjects have to be willing and able to return for scheduled follow-up examinations for up to 6 respectively 12 months after surgery.
  • For Proscan and Zyoptix Treatments the myopic subjects require a sphere between -0.5 D up to a maximum sphere of -10.0 D. If the patient has a refractive astigmatism to be treated, this must be between -0.5 D up to -4.0 D (not corneal astigmatism) as expressed in spectacle minus cylinder form (by manifest subjective refraction). Overall the SE for myopes must be no more than -12.0 D.
  • The Hyperopic subjects require a sphere between +0.5 D up to a maximum sphere of +4.0 D. If the patient has a refractive astigmatism to be treated, this must be between +0.5 D up to +4.0 D (not corneal astigmatism) as expressed in spectacle plus cylinder form (by manifest subjective refraction). Overall the SE for hyperopes must be no more than +6.0 D.
  • Subjects who are contact lens wearers must have gas permeable lenses discontinued for at least 3 weeks and soft lenses discontinued for at least 1 week prior to the pre-operative evaluation in the eye to be treated.

  • Corneal topography should be qualified.
  • Subjects who are contact lens wearers must have two (2) central keratometry readings and two (2) manifest subjective refractions taken pre-operatively at least one week apart. The refraction values must not differ by more than 0.50 D as defined by manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE). The keratometry values must not differ from the previous values by more than 0.50 D in either meridian.
  • High contrast, manifest, best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity correctable binocular to at least 1.0 (Snellen 20/20 or 6/6) and monocular to at least 0.8 (Snel-len 20/25 or 6/7.5). In case of a monocular surgery the eye which should not be treated must have a best corrected distance visual acuity of at least 0.8 (Snellen 20/25 or 6/7.5).
  • For treatments with the SUPRACOR presbyopic algorithm, subjects have to be at least 45 years old and no more than 85 years.
  • For treatments with the SUPRACOR presbyopic algorithm, subjects must have presbyopia as determined by an age-related need for optical aid (> +1.50 D) for reading with their best distance correction and been screened successfully for acceptance of the SUPRACOR simulation.
  • For treatments with the SUPRACOR presbyopic algorithm, subjects must been screened successfully for acceptance of the SUPRACOR simulation
  • For treatments with the SUPRACOR presbyopic algorithm, Myopic subjects must have up to -7.0 diopters (D) of absolute spherical myopia (not spherical equivalent), with up to -4.0 D of refractive astigmatism (NOT corneal astigmatism) by manifest subjective refraction. The spherical equivalent and must be no more than -9.0 D.
  • Hyperopic subjects must have up to +4 diopters (D) of absolute spherical hyperopia (not spherical equivalent), with up to +2.5 D of refractive astigmatism (NOT corneal astigmatism) by manifest subjective refraction in both eyes. The spherical equivalent must be no more than +5.25 D.

  • For treatments with the Zyoptix algorithm, the high-order-aberration must be at least 0.35µm.

Who cannot join

  • 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.
  • Hyperopic eyes for which the baseline manifest subjective refraction exhibits a difference of greater than ± 0.75 D in sphere power, or a difference of greater than ± 0.50 D in cylinder power, or a difference in cylinder axis of more than 15 degrees compared to the baseline cycloplegic subjective refraction. For manifest cylinder of less than ±0.75 D, the difference in cylinder axis would not be taken into consideration.
  • Any subject who is going to be co-managed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist who were not approved as a Technolas Perfect Vision Investigator.
  • Subjects with anterior segment pathology, including dry eye syndrome and cataracts, which in the Investigator's opinion would interfere with best spectacle-corrected visual acuity or a successful treatment.
  • Subjects with evidence of retinal vascular disease.
  • Subjects with any residual, recurrent, or active ocular disease, or corneal abnormality that in the Investigator's opinion would interfere with BSCVA or a successful treatment.

  • Subjects with signs of keratoconus.
  • Subjects with unstable central keratometry readings with irregular mires.
  • Subjects who had previous intraocular or corneal surgery of any kind, including any type of Excimer laser surgery for either refractive or therapeutic purposes.
  • Subjects who have a history of Herpes simplex or Herpes zoster keratitis.
  • Subject who have a history of glaucoma or glaucoma suspect.
  • Subjects with corneal edema, or increased IOP > 22mmHg.
  • Subjects at risk for angle closure.
  • Subjects immunocompromised or carrying diagnosis of connective tissue disease, clinically significant atopic disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and other acute or chronic illnesses that will increase the risk to the subject or confound the outcomes of this study.
  • Subject taking systemic medications likely to affect wound healing such as corticosteroids or antimetabolites.
  • Subjects who are known to be pregnant, lactating, or who plans to become pregnant over the course of the study.
  • Subjects with known sensitivity to medications used for standard LASIK.
  • Subjects participating in any other ophthalmic clinical trials during this clinical study.
  • Subjects with an ocular muscle disorder including a strabismus or nystagmus, or other disorders affecting fixation.
  • Subjects with cognitive impairments or other vulnerable persons.
  • Subjects with anterior or posterior synechiae.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Proscan, Zyoptix and Supracor in people with Myopia and Hyperopia, run by Technolas Perfect Vision GmbH.

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 16 inclusion and 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2014. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Melanie Doerner (+49 89 94004130, melanie.doerner@bausch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

For Proscan and Zyoptix: - The percentage of treated eyes within +/- 0.50D of target refraction. For Supracor: - The percentage of treated eyes with a best corrected high contrast distance VA of Snellen 20/25 (6/7.5 or 0.1 logMAR) or better (time frame: Myopia: 6 months, Hyperopia 12 months). 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 20 Nov 2014.
