About this study

Official title: Corneal Wavefront Guided Versus Aberration Free Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy in Myopic Patients With High Pre-existing Corneal Higher Order Aberrations

compare the efficacy, safety and predictability of corneal wavefront guided (WFG) and aberration free ablation in single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) in myopic patients with high pre-existing corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs).

Read the detailed description

Objectives:to compare the efficacy, safety and predictability of corneal wavefront guided (WFG) and aberration free ablation in single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) in myopic patients with high pre-existing corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs).

Background: Corneal WFG and aberration free treatments have been proposed as methods to achieve better visual, refractive, and optical outcomes.

Methods: prospective case series was conducted in El-Hekma Eye-LASIK center, Menoufia governorate, Egypt during the period from January 2017 to December 2017. TransPRK was performed to eligible myopic patients with or without astigmatism with corneal HOAs ≥ 0.35 µ utilizing either aberration free or corneal WFG patterns provided by ORKCAM software (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, Kleinostheim, Germany). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest and cycloplegic refractions, best spectacle corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), thorough slit lamp examination and corneal topography were assessed and repeated six months postoperatively.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • corneal WFG groupProcedure or surgery

    TransPRK using ESIRIS flying spot excimer laser system (SCHWIND AMARIS®500E, SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, Kleinhostheim, Germany), with 500 Hz repetition rate for faster treatments and scanning spots and with smart pulse technology. Eye-tracking during laser ablation was achieved using a 1050 Hz infrared eye tracker centered on the pupil. Static cyclotorsion control (SCC) compensation was obtained for all patients in corneal WFG group.

  • aberration free groupProcedure or surgery

    TransPRK was performed to eligible myopic patients with or without astigmatism with corneal HOAs ≥ 0.35 µ utilizing aberration free patterns provided by ORKCAM software (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, Kleinostheim, Germany)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. corneal wavefront customized treatments and aberration free aspheric treatments

    procedure was labeled successful if achieved the desired outcomes in terms of efficacy and safety. Efficacy index was defined as the ratio between the postoperative UDVA to the preoperative CDVA while safety index was defined as the ratio between the postoperative CDVA and the preoperative CDVA. Efficacy index around 1 and safety index more than 1 were desired. Failure was considered when the above outcomes failed to be achieved along with persistence or development of any of the following complications at 6 month postoperative follow up; corneal haze, persistent epithelial defects, ectasia, sterile infiltrate, infectious keratitis, central toxic keratopathy and steroid induced complications

    Measured: 1year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing corneal WFG group and aberration free group in people with Myopia, run by Menoufia University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

corneal wavefront customized treatments and aberration free aspheric treatments (time frame: 1year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Dec 2018.
