Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Myopic anisometropia is a condition where you have one normal eye and one nearsighted (or myopic) eye. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), a type of laser eye surgery, on patients with myopic anisometropia.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 to 30 years with myopic anisometropia treated with small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)

What does the study involve?
All participants receive the same treatment with SMILE and undergo eye tests before surgery and at 1 week and 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery,

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants receive free eye tests. There are no expected side effects of the treatment.

Where is the study run from?
State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre, Sun Yat-sen University (China)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
January 2015 to July 2016

Who is funding the study?
The Science and Technology Program of Guangzhou (China)

Who is the main contact?
Dr Shengbei Weng, 1023816828@qq.com

Ethics approval(s)

Approved 21/02/2015, Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at the Sun Yat-sen University (State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510060, China; +86 (0)13711552618; zocdpo@gzzoc.com), ref: 2013MEKY036

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMyopic anisometropia
InterventionThe ocular parameters used for characterizing binocular functions include: divergence and convergence amplitudes (near and distance), stereoacuity (near and distance), and near and distance horizontal phorias. The Risley rotary prisms are used to evaluate the horizontal vergence ranges. A gradually increasing horizontal Risley prism is placed in both eyes while the patient fixated on a line of Snellen optotype E. Equal amounts of rotatory prism are slowly added in front of each eye (base-in and base-out prism for divergence and convergence, respectively) at a constant velocity (approximately 2 Δ/s) until the subject first reported horizontal diplopia (break value). The distance stereoacuity is tested using the stereotest booklet (Distance Randot Stereotest, Stereo Opticals Co., Inc., range: 400-60 arcsec) at 3 meters (m) in a standard illuminated room with polarizing glasses. Near stereoacuity is measured at 40 centimeters (cm) using the Randot circles test (Stereo Randot Test 2 for Adults, Stereo Optical, ranged: 400-12.5arcsec); the graded circles are used to quantify stereopsis. Heterophoria measurements are obtained using the von Graefe technique: a 6 Δ base-up dissociating prism is placed in front of the right eye, and horizontal oculomotor deviation neutralized with a Risley rotary prism in front of the left eye.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Divergence and convergence amplitudes (near and distance) are measured using Risley rotary prisms preoperatively and at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery
2. Distance stereoacuity is measured using the stereotest booklet (Distance Randot Stereotest, Stereo Opticals Co., Inc., range: 400-60 arcsec) preoperatively and at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery
3. Near stereoacuity is measured using the Randot circles test (Stereo Randot Test 2 for Adults, Stereo Optical, ranged: 400-12.5arcsec) preoperatively and at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery
4. Heterophoria measurements are measured using Risley rotary prism preoperatively and at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery
Secondary outcome measuresMonocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) are measured using Snellen charts preoperatively and at 1 week,1,3 and 6 months after surgery
