NCT ID NCT01252654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of lasers used to create the flap in LASIK eye surgery for nearsightedness. 120 adults each had one eye treated with the Intralase laser and the other with the Visumax laser. The goal was to see which laser caused less discomfort during surgery and led to better vision and healing afterward.
