Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Qualified subjects will receive LASIK treatment in both eyes and be followed for 1 year. Subjects will be asked to attend a total of 9 visits (Screening, Surgery, Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12). Total expected duration of subject participation is approximately 1 year.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery using the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system
Device: WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system
FDA approved stationary scanning-spot excimer laser system used during refractive surgery for the treatment of myopia, myopic astigmatism, hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism, and mixed astigmatism. For this clinical study, the Wavefront Optimized (WFO) Ablation profile of the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system will be used for bilateral LASIK treatment of hyperopia with and without astigmatism.
Procedure: LASIK
Procedure that reshapes the front part of the eye (cornea) so that light traveling through it is properly focused on the back part of the eye (retina). The procedure will be performed using the WaveLight EX500 excimer laser system.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Eyes With Manifest Refraction Spherical Equivalent (MRSE) Within ±0.50 Diopter (D) at Refractive Stability
Time Frame: Up to Month 12 postoperative (Month 1 to Month 3, Month 3 to Month 6, Month 6 to Month 9, and Month 9 to Month 12)
A manifest refraction (manual refraction) was performed using a phoropter. The spherical equivalent was calculated by adding the sum of the sphere power with half of the cylinder power. Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at 3 months after surgery when compared with the 1-month visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. For this endpoint, change in MRSE by less than or equal to 0.50 D was reported. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis.
Up to Month 12 postoperative (Month 1 to Month 3, Month 3 to Month 6, Month 6 to Month 9, and Month 9 to Month 12)
Percentage of Eyes With MRSE Within ±1.00 D at Refractive Stability
Time Frame: Up to Month 12 postoperative (Month 1 to Month 3, Month 3 to Month 6, Month 6 to Month 9, and Month 9 to Month 12)
A manifest refraction (manual refraction) was performed using a phoropter. The spherical equivalent was calculated by adding the sum of the sphere power with half of the cylinder power. Refractive stability was defined as the latter of two postoperative manifest refractions performed at least 3 months apart (or at 3 months after surgery when compared with the 1-month visit) that meets all the protocol-specified stability requirements. For this endpoint, change in MRSE by less than or equal to 1.00 D was reported. Both eyes contributed data to this analysis.
Up to Month 12 postoperative (Month 1 to Month 3, Month 3 to Month 6, Month 6 to Month 9, and Month 9 to Month 12)
Percentage of Eyes Experiencing Ocular Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to Month 12 postoperative
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device (test product). Ocular adverse events were collected for this outcome measure. No hypothesis testing was prespecified for this endpoint.
Up to Month 12 postoperative
