Eye surgery tweak aims for sharper sight with fewer distortions
NCT ID NCT07512102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests two different methods of centering laser eye surgery (SMILE) in people with nearsightedness and a large angle kappa—a natural offset between the visual axis and pupil center. One method uses a 50% correction, the other 100%. Researchers want to see which approach gives better visual quality, fewer distortions, and clearer vision after surgery. About 100 participants will be followed for 6 months after their procedure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age range: 18 - 40 years old. Patients with stable refractive status for \>= 1 year, having myopia or myopic astigmatism, with refractive power within the range of SMILE procedure. 2. Normal corneal morphology and corneal thickness meeting the surgical requirements. 3. Best corrected visual acuity (CDVA) before surgery \>= 1.0. 4. The kappa angle-related offset coordinates (x, y) obtained before surgery, with the absolute value of either \|x\| or \|yl\| of any eye \>= 0.20mm. 5. Voluntary to undergo SMILE surgery on the VISUMAX800 platform, understanding the random grouping scheme and signing the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of prior ocular surgery, significant ocular trauma, or presence of corneal or ocular diseases that may affect the safety of refractive surgery. 2. Severe systemic diseases that may affect ocular healing or surgical safety. 3. Females who are pregnant or lactating. 4. Inability to cooperate as required to complete the procedure or follow-up visits.
