LASIK may skew eye scans: new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05856786
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study looks at whether refractive surgeries like LASIK change the results of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a common eye scan used to monitor conditions like glaucoma. Researchers will measure the thickness of the retina and other eye layers before and after surgery in 33 patients. The goal is to help doctors accurately interpret OCT scans after such procedures.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better interpret OCT scans after refractive surgery, improving monitoring of eye diseases.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to gather knowledge, not to test a treatment.
