To provide comprehensive evaluation of WaveLight® Plus technology by assessing impact on both functional low-light vision and patient reported outcomes

SMILE Surgery in One Eye Compared to Ray Tracing-guided LASIK Surgery in the Fellow Eye

Participants will undergo LASIK surgery in one eye using ray tracing guided technology in one eye and LASIK surgery in the other eye using wavefront guided technology. We are comparing outcomes between the two technologies as measured by self reported quality of vision and quality of life outcomes using validated questionnaires before and after surgery. We will also be comparing outcomes between the two technologies including measurement of low contrast visual acuity,and best spectacle corrected visual acuity.

1-Week Dispensing Evaluation of REVIVE™ Toric Soft Contact Lenses

Experienced soft contact lens wearing subjects were enrolled in this 1-week, post-market, bilateral, repeated measures, dispensing study. All subjects were seen for a Screening/Dispensing Visit at which informed consent was obtained and eligibility was assessed. If subjects satisfied all eligibility criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, subjects were fit and dispensed study lenses. If unsuccessful in the dispensed lenses, additional lenses were trialed. Once vision and lens fit were determined to be acceptable, eligible subjects wore study lenses in both eyes for at least 8 hours per day (with the exception of the follow-up visits where the lenses were worn for a minimum of 2 hours), for approximately 1 week (7 days +/-3 days). Measurements were taken at the insertion visit and at the 7-day follow-up visit.

Corneal Biomechanics and Surgically Induced Astigmatism in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

This prospective study aims to evaluate the influence of corneal biomechanical properties on surgically induced astigmatism following standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome compared with patients without pseudoexfoliation. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF) and corneal astigmatism will be measured before surgery and at postoperative follow-up visits. The relationship between changes in corneal biomechanics and surgically induced astigmatism will be analyzed.

Preoperative and Postoperative Refractive and Topographic Evaluation in Patients With Primary Pterygium: Comparison of Two Surgical Techniques

This study evaluated changes in refractive status and corneal topography before and after surgical treatment of primary pterygium. Patients undergoing pterygium excision were treated with either conjunctival autograft or amniotic membrane transplantation. Visual acuity, refractive error, and corneal topographic parameters were assessed before surgery and after postoperative follow-up to compare the effectiveness of both surgical techniques in restoring corneal optics and improving visual outcomes.

KLEx Versus FS-LASIK for the Treatment of Myopia and Compound Myopic Astigmatism

FemtoLASIK is a type of laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It involves two main steps: creating a flap and reshaping the cornea. Refractive lenticule extraction, (KLEx) is another laser eye surgery method to correct vision issues, which involves creating and extracting a lenticule without the need of a flap. The investigators will evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of these two procedures.

Clareon TruPlus Study

The purpose of this research study is to generate safety and performance data for Clareon TruPlus Monofocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs). IOLs are medical devices that are implanted in the eye during cataract surgery to restore clear vision after the cloudy natural lens has been removed. IOLs are intended to remain in the eyes for the duration of the patient's lifetime.

Investigation of the Safety and Effectiveness of Monofocal Toric Intraocular Lens (IOL)

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double masked trial comparing an investigational Monofocal Toric intraocular lens (IOL) (PODEYE TORIC CYL 1.5 D) and a commercially available non-toric monofocal IOL.

Wear Experience With Daily Disposable Contact Lenses for Astigmatism Over a Long-Wear Day

The purpose of this study to assess the wear experience of people who have astigmatism when wearing a daily disposable contact lens for astigmatism over long days of wear.

Comfort and Vision With TOTAL30 Multifocal Lenses

This study is a single-arm, prospective, observational study conducted at one site to evaluate the comfort and vision of the TOTAL30 Multifocal (T30MF) contact lenses over the course of long wear days. The study will assess the proportion of positive subjective Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessments of comfort and vision at 10, 12, 14, and 16 hours of wear on Days 1, 7, 14, and 30. Additionally, the study will explore subjective assessments of lens comfort using the CLDEQ-8 survey and measure logMAR visual acuity at both distance and near at Visit 1, Visit 2, and after 1 month of lens wear. Participants will undergo three site visits, with at-home surveys conducted at specified intervals to gather real-time data on comfort and vision.

Improving Visual Quality in Patients With Irregular Corneas Using Asymmetrical Toric Intraocular Lenses

Cataract surgery in patients with irregular corneas presents unique challenges, primarily due to the high variability in keratometry and corneal tomography measurements, which complicates accurate intraocular lens (IOL) calculations. In these patients, therapeutic options are currently limited to either non-toric IOLs and rigid contact lenses postoperatively or conventional toric IOLs for the reduction of total astigmatism within cataract surgery. While conventional toric IOLs may be beneficial in selected cases with a stable astigmatic pattern and clear axis, their effectiveness is largely limited, as significant irregularity and higher order aberrations reduce predictability, accuracy of formulae, and refractive outcomes. Therefore, the development of a reliable method to reduce total astigmatism - including irregular components - would represent a major advancement, potentially improving both visual function and patient quality of life. The aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate the effectiveness of customized toric intraocular lenses (AMILens Individual, AMIPLANT GmbH, Germany) in reducing total corneal astigmatism in patients with a significant irregular astigmatic component. These lenses are designed to address corneal aberrations up to the 6th Zernike order, thereby extending correction beyond the capabilities of conventional toric IOLs. To our knowledge, no clinical study has yet investigated this novel approach.

Wavefront-guided LASIK Surgery Compared to Ray Tracing-Guided LASIK Surgery

We are enrolling participants aged 22 and older to have LASIK surgery in both eyes. We will perform wavefront-guided LASIK in one eye and ray tracing-guided LASIK in the fellow eye of each participant. We are trying to see if there are any differences in the efficacy between the two types of LASIK procedures.

Arcuate Incisions With Light Adjustable Lens for Astigmatism Correction in Lens Surgery

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of femtosecond laser arcuate corneal relaxing incisions (AK) combined with Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) implantation for correcting pre-existing corneal astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery. Postoperative assessments will focus on residual refractive astigmatism, visual outcomes, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of adverse events. Arcuate keratotomy and toric IOLs are well-established methods for astigmatism correction, and this study will compare their combined effectiveness using advanced femtosecond laser technology.

Assessing the Turkish DDIVAT for Visual Acuity Measurement

The goal of this observational methodological study is to validate the Turkish version of the DDIVAT visual acuity measuring device in a Turkish-speaking adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the Turkish version of the DDIVAT provide reliable and valid visual acuity measurements in Turkish speakers? Are the results of the DDIVAT comparable to those obtained with the standard Snellen chart used in clinical practice? Researchers will compare DDIVAT visual acuity test results with Snellen chart results to see if both methods produce consistent measurements. Participants will: Be adults aged 18 years or older, including both patients and healthy volunteers. Undergo visual acuity testing using the DDIVAT system displayed on a smart TV connected to the university server. Have their visual acuity re-measured using the standard Snellen optotype under the same conditions. No medication or invasive procedure will be used. The study carries no risk to participants.
