New laser vs. old laser: which is better for fixing nearsightedness?
NCT ID NCT07505264
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two laser platforms used in SMILE surgery to correct short-sightedness (myopia). The standard VISUMAX 500 will be tested against the newer VISUMAX 800 in 100 participants. Researchers want to see if the newer platform provides the same or better vision results and a more comfortable experience.

- Active substance
- SMILE surgery (laser procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If the newer VISUMAX 800 platform works as well or better, it could offer a faster or more comfortable option for laser eye surgery to correct short-sightedness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage comparison study with only 100 participants. The newer platform may not show meaningful improvement over the existing one, and individual results vary.
