Summary
This trial compares the effects of two different eye surgeries on post-op vision.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 22-50 with near-sightedness or astigmatism, having a stable prescription that hasn't changed much in the last year. They should not have had previous eye surgeries, significant dry eyes, keratoconus, or certain other eye conditions. Pregnant women and those with uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune diseases are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study compares visual outcomes of two types of laser eye surgery: Topography Guided LASIK on one eye and Small Incision Lenticule Extraction on the other. Each participant receives both procedures, one per eye, to see which provides better vision postoperatively.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include discomfort or pain after surgery, temporary visual disturbances like glare and halos around lights at night, dry eyes requiring drops for relief, and very rarely more serious complications affecting vision.
