Manifest refractive spherical equivalent
Manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) is a measurement used in eye care to determine the overall refractive error of the eye, taking into account both nearsightedness or farsightedness (spherical component) and astigmatism (cylindrical component). It's calculated by adding the sphere power and half of the cylinder power

Abberometry (Higher Order Abberations and Corneal Performance Index)
Aberrometry is a technique used to measure the optical aberrations of the eye, including both lower-order aberrations (LOAs) and higher-order aberrations (HOAs). LOAs are the standard refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. HOAs, on the other hand, are more complex aberrations that affect the quality of vision, even if the LOAs are corrected. HOAs are caused by irregularities in the shape of the cornea or lens. They can cause a variety of visual symptoms, including blurry vision, glare, halos, and difficulty seeing at night

Objective Scatter Index
The Objective Scatter Index (OSI) is a measurement used in ophthalmology to assess the quality of the eye's optical media, particularly the cornea and lens. It quantifies the amount of light scatter within the eye, which can affect visual clarity and contrast sensitivity.
Time frame: 1 month
Contrast Sensitivity
Contrast sensitivity is the ability to distinguish between objects with varying degrees of contrast, especially in situations of low light or when objects have subtle differences in shading.

RECRUITINGTear film stability refers to the ability of the tear film, a thin layer of fluid that covers the surface of the eye, to remain intact and maintain a smooth, even surface. This is essential for clear vision and healthy ocular surface.

Ocular Adverse Events in treated eyes/safety
Ocular adverse events (OAEs) are side effects that can occur in the eye after receiving a treatment, such as medication, surgery, or radiation therapy. These events can range from mild and temporary to severe and permanent.

Subjective Questionnaires and Open-Ended Questions
Subjective questionnaires and open-ended questions are two common methods used in research to gather qualitative data. They allow researchers to delve deeper into participants' thoughts, feelings, and experiences, providing rich insights that quantitative methods may not capture.
