Information provided by:
Medical University of South Carolina
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT00366743
First received: August 17, 2006
Last updated: NA
Last verified: June 2005
History: No changes posted
  Purpose

The aim of the study was to evaluate visual outcomes, contrast sensitivity, glare testing and high order aberrations induced by different laser technologies and to evaluate differences in aberrometer technology. We hypothesized that there will not be differences among conventional or wavefront guided treatments.

Estimated Enrollment: 120
Study Start Date: May 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date: June 2005
Detailed Description:

The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare visual outcomes, contrast sensitivity, glare testing and induction of high order aberrations by different laser technologies and to evaluate differences in aberrometer technology.
