Registered outcomes8

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryVariability of the Refractive Predicatibility1 year postop
Calculate the standard deviation of the postoperative spherical equivalent, adjusted relative to the intended target, after the SMILE procedure. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit. An accurate outcome is where the postoperative spherical equivalent is equal to the intended target spherical equivalent. A mean difference less than zero implies the outcome was undercorrected, whereas a mean difference greater than zero implies the outcomes was overcorrected. A smaller standard deviation represents a more accurate and more predictable outcome.
SecondaryEfficacy of Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity1 year postop
Measure the uncorrected distance visual acuity achieved after the SMILE procedure relative to the preoperative CDVA for all eyes where the intended target refraction was emmetropia. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit.
SecondarySafety of Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (Change in Corrected Distance Visual Acuity)1 year postopAssess the change in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) before and after the SMILE procedure. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit.
SecondaryPredictability of Refractive Correction1 year postop
Measure the postoperative refraction and calculate the deviation from the intended target in terms of spherical equivalent. Mean, standard deviation and range will be calculated. The data will also be analyzed as a scatter plot by plotting the attempted vs achieved spherical equivalent refraction. The data will also be graphically displayed as a histogram. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit.
SecondaryPredictability of Refractive Astigmatism Correction1 year postop
Measure the postoperative refractive astigmatism and calculate the deviation from the intended target. Mean, standard deviation and range will be calculated. The data will also be analyzed as a scatter plot by plotting the target induced astigmatism vs the surgically induced astigmatism. The data will also be graphically displayed as a histogram. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit.
SecondaryStability of the Spherical Equivalent Refraction3 months and 1 year postopMeasure the postoperative refraction at 3 months and 12 months after the SMILE procedure and calculate the mean and standard deviation of spherical equivalent refraction for each time point.
SecondaryChange in Night Vision Disturbances (Questionnaire)1 year postop
Provide the patient with a questionnaire to subjectively grade their quality of vision at night to assess whether this has changed after the SMILE procedure. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit. A Rasch scale of 0-100 was used. A score of 0 indicates no quality of vision disturbances. A score of 100 indicates severe quality of vision disturbances. The outcome is calculated as the difference between the Rasch score before and after surgery, reported as the change in Rasch score units.
SecondaryChange in Corneal Higher Order Aberrations1 year postop
Measure the corneal aberrations before and after the SMILE procedure using the Atlas topographer to evaluate the change in corneal aberrations due to the surgery. Analysis performed on the data from the 1 year postoperative visit.
