Inclusion criteria

  1. 22 years of age or older at the time of the pre-operative examination.
  2. Best distance corrected visual acuity (BCDVA) 20/25 or better in the study eye
  3. Difference between manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) and the cycloplegic refraction of ≤ 0.75 D in the study eye.
  4. Stable refraction (i.e., a change of ≤ 0.50 D in MRSE) for a minimum of 12 months before surgery, as verified by consecutive refractions, medical records, or prescription history.
  5. Agree to discontinue contact lenses for at least two weeks (for rigid or toric lenses) or three days (for soft contact lenses) before the first refraction to establish stability and through the day of surgery.
  6. A stable refraction (within ± 0.50 D) after discontinuation of contact lens(es), as determined by MRSE between two consecutive examinations at least one week apart.
  7. Normal corneal topography per the investigator in the study eye.
  8. Anticipated postoperative stromal thickness of at least 350 microns.
  9. Ability to lie flat without difficulty.
  10. Willing and able to read, understand, and sign a written form (ICF)
  11. Willing and able to comply with the schedule for all post-surgery follow-up visits.
  12. Pre-operative myopic refractive error with sphere component from -0.25 D to -8.00 D in each operative eye, with or without cylinder from 0.00 D to -3.00 D, based on the manifest refraction with treated MRSE of -0.25 D to -9.50 D.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase operative risk or confound the results of the study (e.g., dry eye, cataract, immuno-compromise, rheumatoid arthritis, atopic disease, acne rosacea, disease, endocrine disorders, lupus, systemic connective tissue disease, diabetes, or severe atopic disease).
  2. Use of medications that may increase risk to the subject or may confound the outcome of the study, including those known to affect wound healing (e.g., systemic , antimetabolites)
  3. Ocular conditions that may predispose the subject to future complications, including but not limited to:

    1. Evidence or history of retinal vascular disease
    2. History or evidence of active corneal disease or infection (e.g., recurrent corneal erosion syndrome, herpes simplex or herpes zoster keratitis) in either eye.
    3. History of or evidence of glaucoma or glaucoma suspect (e.g., IOP > 21 mmHg).
  4. Previous intraocular or corneal surgery in an eye considered for eligibility that might confound the study's outcome or increase the subject's risk.
  5. An increased risk for developing strabismus post-treatment or an ocular muscle disorder (e.g., strabismus or nystagmus) affecting fixation.
  6. Known sensitivity to any study medications (e.g., used during TransEpi PRK procedure and postoperative care).
  7. Central corneal scars affecting visual acuity.
  8. Presence of keratoconus, subclinical or forme fruste keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, or other corneal irregularity (e.g., irregular astigmatism).
  9. Presence of visually significant or progressive cataract in an eye considered for eligibility.
  10. Actively taking medications with TransEpi PRK, such as isotretinoin (Accutane®) or amiodarone hydrochloride (Cordarone®).
  11. Cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or another implanted electronic device.
  12. Pregnant, lactating, or subjects who plan to become pregnant during the study.
  13. Participation in any other clinical trial within 30 days of screening or during this clinical trial.14. Subjects for whom the pre-operative assessment of the cornea/ eyes indicates that one or both eyes are not suitable candidates for treatment based upon the investigator's medical judgment.
  1. Treated eye with mesopic pupil size > 7.0 mm.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maintenance of BCDVA -

    lines lost \<5% of eyes with a loss of \>2 lines of BCDVA at the stability visit

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Induced manifest refractive astigmatism

    \<5% of eyes with induced manifest refractive astigmatism greater \>2 diopters at the stability visit

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Induced manifest refractive astigmatism

    \< 1% of eyes with serious adverse events by type of event observed through the final study visit.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
