PiXL for Correction of Hyperopia

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Hyperopia

• Registration Number: NCT03805425
• Lead Sponsor: Gemini Eye Clinic

Brief Summary

This clinical study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of PiXL in the refractive correction of low hyperopia.

Detailed Description

This clinical study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of PiXL in the refractive correction of low hyperopia.Slightly modified settings from previously published study is applied to eyes with low hyperopia with an expected refractive change of 0.75 D. Aim is to evaluate the refractive outcome of this procedure.
