About this study

Official title: Association Between Preoperative Ocular Residual Astigmatism(ORA) and Residual Refractive Astigmatism After SMILE Refractive Surgery

The aim of our study is to analysis and compare the relationship between ORA and postoperative astigmatism in low astigmatism (less than 1D) and moderate to high (1D to 3D) astigmatism patients after SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) refractive surgery.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Small Incision Lenticule ExtractionProcedure or surgery

    A 500 kHzVisumax (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) femtosecond laser was used with cap thickness ranging from 100 to 130μm, cap diameter from 7.3 to 7.9 mm. The lenticule was dissected with a blunt spatula through a 30 to 60-degree incision at the 10 o'clock position and removed using forceps afterward. Treatment targets of both eyes were set to emmetropia, the refraction corrections were based on manifest refractions

What is being measured

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

  1. Corrected distance visual acuity

    in LogMAR unit

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

  2. Manifest refraction

    in Diopter

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Refractive Errors and Astigmatism, 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 2 inclusion and 12 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 3 Nov 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 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?

Corrected distance visual acuity (time frame: 3 months after surgery). The study lists 2 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 NCT05604872, which also lists 3 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 3 Nov 2022.
