Clinical Trial: Comparison of Low- Versus High-Level Angle Kappa Compensation Strategies in SMILE Using the VisuMax 800: A Randomized Clinical Trial

U.S., April 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07512102) titled 'Comparison of Low- Versus High-Level Angle Kappa Compensation Strategies in SMILE Using the VisuMax 800: A Randomized Clinical Trial' on March 21.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two intraoperative kappa-angle compensation strategies during small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) using the VisuMax 800 platform in patients with relatively large kappa-angle offsets.

Angle kappa represents the difference between the visual axis and the pupil center. In patients with a large offset, pupil-centered treatment may lead to decentration of the optical zone, which can induce higher-order aberrations and affec...
