-
Two monthly silicone hydrogel multifocal toric contact lenses in wearers with astigmatism and myopia
This study tests whether two popular soft multifocal toric contact lenses perform differently in adults who need vision correction for astigmatism and myopia.
-
Seeing clearly in low light after Ray-Tracing guided LASIK
A trial tests how well WaveLight Plus LASIK works for people with myopia and astigmatism and whether patients are satisfied after the procedure.
-
Orthokeratology contact lenses with a 5 mm optic zone diameter
This study tests Paragon CRT lenses with a 5 mm optic zone in kids and young adults to see how well they fit, how well they vision, and how comfortable they are at night.
-
Corneal Biomechanics and Surgical Astigmatism after Cataract Surgery in Pseudoexfoliation
This study tests how the cornea's biomechanical properties before cataract surgery relate to the amount of blinking surgically induced astigmatism, comparing people with pseudoexfoliation to those without.
-
SMILE in one eye vs Ray tracing-guided LASIK in the fellow eye
This study tests two laser vision correction methods—SMILE in one eye and ray-tracing guided LASIK in the other eye—to see which provides better vision and quality of life for adults with myopia and astigmatism.
-
Nomogram for Astigmatism Correction of KLEx
This study tests whether using a nomogram can improve outcomes after astigmatism correction in adults who meet certain eye health criteria.
-
Clareon TruPlus IOLs in Bilateral Cataract Surgery
This study tests Clareon TruPlus Monofocal IOLs to see how safe they are and how well they perform for people with both eyes affected by cataracts.
-
Daily disposable toric contact lenses for long-day wear.
This will test whether daily disposable toric contact lenses stay comfortable and provide clear vision for people with astigmatism who wear lenses for long days.
-
Using asymmetrical toric intraocular lenses to improve vision for people with irregular corneas
This will test a custom asymmetrical toric intraocular lens during cataract surgery to reduce irregular astigmatism and improve vision in adults with irregular corneas.
-
Comparing two trifocal toric intraocular lenses for cataract surgery.
This trial will test two different trifocal toric intraocular lenses to see which gives better intermediate-distance vision and satisfaction for adults with cataracts and regular corneal astigmatism.
-
Comparing Ray‑Tracing Guided LASIK with three other laser vision correction methods for myopia and astigmatism
This test will compare Ray‑Tracing Guided LASIK to three other laser or lenticule refractive procedures for adults with moderate myopia, with or without astigmatism.
-
Femtosecond arcuate corneal incisions combined with a Light Adjustable Lens for correcting astigmatism during lens surgery
This will try whether precise femtosecond arcuate corneal incisions plus a Light Adjustable Lens can reduce astigmatism and improve vision for adults having cataract or refractive lens exchange.
-
WaveLight Plus LASIK for nearsightedness and astigmatism
This study will try WaveLight Plus LASIK in adults with nearsightedness and astigmatism to see if it improves vision, satisfaction, and quality of life over three months.
-
Wavefront-guided LASIK versus ray-tracing-guided LASIK in opposite eyes
We will try wavefront-guided LASIK in one eye and ray-tracing-guided LASIK in the other eye of adults 22 and older with nearsightedness (with up to 3 diopters of astigmatism) to see if one gives better vision outcomes.
-
Algorithm-guided eye refraction for children aged 6–12
This project tests whether an algorithm-guided subjective refraction program (two versions) can give accurate non-cycloplegic eyeglass prescriptions for children 6–12 compared with the usual manual subjective refraction.
-
Evaluating a device for screening vision problems in young children
This study is testing a new device to see if it can effectively find vision problems in children aged 3 to 8, whether they wear glasses or not.
-
Using laser treatment to accurately mark astigmatism direction
This study is testing a new laser treatment to see if it can help improve the accuracy of correcting astigmatism during eye surgery.
-
Comparing a new software for eye refraction with traditional methods
This study is testing a new eye refraction software called Mobilerone to see if it gives accurate results for adults and older children with nearsightedness and astigmatism compared to traditional methods.
-
Contoura with Phorcides versus WaveLight Wavefront-Optimized LASIK for myopia with astigmatism
This trial will test whether Contoura planned with Phorcides or WaveLight wavefront-optimized LASIK gives better vision and patient satisfaction for adults having LASIK for nearsightedness with astigmatism.
-
Evaluation of different intraocular lenses for cataract surgery
This study is testing different types of lenses used in cataract surgery to see which one helps people with astigmatism see better after their operation.
-
Analyzing corneal astigmatism measurements in different regions
This study is testing how different ways of measuring corneal astigmatism can help improve accuracy for patients who have had cataract surgery.
-
Evaluation of vision quality after LASIK, SMILE, and PRK surgery in physicians
This study is testing how LASIK, SMILE, and PRK eye surgeries affect the vision quality and overall life satisfaction of doctors.
