View original scientific description

To provide comprehensive evaluation of WaveLight® Plus technology by assessing impact on both functional low-light vision and patient reported outcomes

Interventions

DEVICE

Wavelight Plus

comprehensive evaluation of WaveLight® Plus technology by assessing impact on both functional low-light vision and patient reported outcomes

Primary outcome measures

Establish non-inferiority of the post-operative uncorrected mesopic distance visual acuity MVA (UC-MVA, monocular) at 6 months to the pre-operative Best Spectacle-Corrected MVA (BSC-MVA, monocular), assessed in logMAR units

Time frame: Baseline compared to 6 month post operative visit

Patient reported outcome of overall satisfaction with vision, measured using the Patient Reported Outcomes with LASIK - Satisfaction Survey (#1 of PROWL-SS, 0-100)

Time frame: Baseline compared to 6 month post operative visit

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects ages 18 to 45 years old.
  • Stable refraction (within ± 0.50 D) as determined by manifest refraction spherical equivalent for a minimum of 12 months prior to surgery or stability as determined by the investigator.
  • Myopia with or without astigmatism and MRSE within the range of indications for wavelight plus (myopia up to -8.00D, astigmatism up to -3.00D, S.E. more than -1.00 and up to -9.00D)
  • Best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) of 20/20 or better (≥83 letters) in each eye.
  • Subjects who have elected to undergo bilateral LASIK targeted for emmetropia.
  • Subjects must be able and willing to return for scheduled follow-up examinations after surgery.
  • Subjects must be able to read, understand and provide written informed consent on the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved Informed Consent Form (ICF) and provide authorization as appropriate for local privacy regulations.
  • Mesopic pupil size ≥4.5mm
  • Less than 0.75D spherical equivalent differences between Sightmap measured refraction SE and the subjective manifest refraction (MRSE)
  • Subjects who regularly drive at night and expect to continue night driving throughout the duration of the study, as determined by investigator assessment

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or nursing women, or those who plan to become pregnant over the course of this clinical study or have another condition with associated fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes.
  • Dry eye syndrome that is unable to be controlled with ocular lubricant(s) or medication(s) and which may confound study outcomes in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Previous corneal ocular surgery
  • History of evidence of active or inactive corneal disease or retinal vascular disease, keratoconus or glaucoma or glaucoma suspect.
  • Serious acute, chronic, or systemic, non-ophthalmic disease or illness that would increase the operative risk, confound the outcome(s) of the study or which may preclude study completion (e.g., immunocompromised, connective tissue disease, clinically significant atopic disease, uncontrolled diabetes, etc.), in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Ocular condition (other than high myopia) that may predispose the subject to future complications, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Subjects who, in the judgment of the Investigator, present any emotional, physiological, or anatomical condition which may preclude participation in this study or provide an inappropriate landscape for the intended study treatment.
  • Patients with a calculated residual stromal depth \<250 um

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
