Can a computer predict your laser eye surgery outcome?
NCT ID NCT06996353
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a computer program called EpiMaster can accurately predict how well laser eye surgery (PTK-PRK) will correct nearsightedness. Researchers will compare the software's predictions to the actual vision results in 150 patients six months after surgery. The goal is to improve the accuracy of surgical planning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PTK-PRK refractive treatment (laser surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict vision outcomes after laser eye surgery for nearsightedness.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage data collection study, not a treatment trial. The software predictions may not match actual results, and findings may not apply to all patients.
