   3. No eye diseases such as glaucoma or cataracts
3. Nearsightedness between -1.00 diopters and -10.00 diopters.
4. Subjects with less than or equal to 3.00 diopters of astigmatism.
5. Subjects must have similar levels of nearsightedness in each eye.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects under the age of 22.
2. Subjects with excessively thin corneas.
3. Subjects with topographic evidence of keratoconus.

About the study

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.
