About this study

To evaluate the changes that occur in the corneal indices after corneal refractive surgery either PRK or LASIK.

Read the detailed description

Retrospectively review the medical records of all patients who underwent refractive surgery referred from the out-patient clinic of Tanta University hospital between September 2015 and September 2020 .

Data collection will include:

Preoperative and postoperative Evaluation: Age, sex, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest and cycloplegic refraction, Slit lamp biomicroscopy, fundus examination.

Data of Corneal Tomography keratometric using Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam Oculus- Germany) :that includes the following indices

  1. Average keratometric value (K mean) in diopters
  2. Maximum simulated keratometry (Kmax) in diopters
  3. Index of Surface Variance (ISV) in microns
  4. Index of Vertical Asymmetey (IVA) in microns
  5. Radii Minimum (R min) in microns
  6. Index of height asymmetry (IHA) in microns
  7. Index of height decantation (IHD) in microns
  8. Aberration coefficient (ABR)

The data of the pentacam will be collected pre-operative and analyzed at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months with recording of the complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the changes that occur in the corneal indices after corneal refractive surgery either PRK or LASIK.

    Using the results of measurements of Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam Oculus- Germany) :that includes the following indices

    1. Average keratometric value (K mean) in diopters
    2. Maximum simulated keratometry (Kmax) in diopters
    3. Index of Surface Variance (ISV) in microns
    4. Index of Vertical Asymmetey (IVA) in microns
    5. Radii Minimum (R min) in microns
    6. Index of height asymmetry (IHA) in microns
    7. Index of height decantation (IHD) in microns
    8. Aberration coefficient (ABR)

    The numbers from preoperative records will be compared with postoperative records after the refractive surgery is done . All the values will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and the data will be analyzed as 1 months, 3 months and 6 months after surgery

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopia, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 8 Feb 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

To evaluate the changes that occur in the corneal indices after corneal refractive surgery either PRK or LASIK. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04589091, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 8 Feb 2022.
