Condition: Myopia · Refractive Ametropia · Sponsor: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University
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 affect postoperative visual quality. The VisuMax 800 system allows intraoperative adjustment of the treatment center based on the measured offset, making different compensation strategies possible. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does low kappa-angle compensation (50%) result in lower postoperative higher-order aberrations than high compensation (100%)? Does the compensation strategy influence visual acuity, refractive outcomes, contrast sensitivity, and subjective visual quality after SMILE? Are the measurements obtained from different diagnostic devices consistent when evaluating kappa-related parameters? Researchers will compare SMILE with low compensation to SMILE with high compensation to determine which strategy provides better optical quality and visual performance. Participants will: Undergo SMILE surgery using either low or high kappa-angle compensation Complete scheduled postoperative examinations at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months Receive measurements of visual acuity, refractio…
