Laser eye surgery gets a precision upgrade: new trial tests alignment fix for sharper vision
NCT ID NCT07512115
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a small adjustment during SMILE laser surgery—compensating for the eye's natural offset (kappa angle)—can improve visual quality for people with nearsightedness. About 224 participants will receive either standard SMILE or SMILE with this compensation. Researchers will measure visual distortions and clarity over six months to see if the adjustment makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SMILE laser surgery with kappa-angle compensation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better visual quality and fewer visual distortions after laser eye surgery for people with myopia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 224 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be minor and not noticeable in daily life.
