Trial summary

To compare the efficacy to different profiles, direct head-to-head studies had been conducted. In one previous review study revealed that TG LASIK provided patient with better uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) than WFO LASIK and WFG LASIK. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Contralateral Comparison of Togoguided LASIK and Wavefront-optimized LASIK

To compare the efficacy to different profiles, direct head-to-head studies had been conducted. In one previous review study revealed that TG LASIK provided patient with better uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) than WFO LASIK and WFG LASIK. In recent previous contralateral eye studies also showed that TG LASIK induced less postoperative higher-order aberration than WFO LASIK. However, these studies included only low-to-moderate myopia patients, for patients with high myopia (spherical equivalent > 6D), the effect of TG LASIK comparing with WFO LASIK had not been reported before.

The aim of our study is to analyze and compare the visual performance of TG LASIK and WFO LASIK in high myopia and low-to-moderate myopia patients, , particularly UCVA, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), contrast sensitivity (CS), and wavefront aberration.

Being tested
Topoguided LASIK, Wavefront optimized LASIK

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual acuity

    uncorrected visual acuity and corrected distance visual acuity

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

  2. Corneal wavefront analysis

    horizontal coma aberration (Z 3,1), spherical aberration (Z 4,0), and trefoil aberration

    Measured: 3-months postoperative visit

  3. Contrast sensitivity

    4 spatial frequencies: 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree (cpd).

    Measured: 3-months postoperative visit

  4. Quality of vision questionnaire

    A 11-item questionnaire, item scores range from 0 to 10 and higher item scores in questionnaire indicated more difficulty in achieving specific visual tasks

    Measured: 3-months postoperative visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Topoguided LASIK and Wavefront optimized LASIK in people with Keratomileusis, Laser In Situ and Contrast Sensitivity, run by Taipei Nobel Eye Clinic at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 13 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 9 Jun 2021. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Visual acuity (time frame: 3 months after surgery). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04919291, which also lists 7 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 9 Jun 2021.
