Participants will undergo LASIK using Contoura with Phorcides calculation on one eye and LASIK using iDesign calculation on the contralateral eye to correct myopia.
Once consented to participate in the study, subjects will have a comprehensive ocular examination to determine eligibility to undergo LASIK using Contoura with Phorcides calculation on one eye and LASIK using iDesign calculation on the contralateral eye to correct myopia. The study objective is to compare the 6-month visual outcomes (i.e., visual acuity, contract sensitivity, high order aberrations), quality of vision (i.e., double vision, glare, starburst, halos, etc.) and dry eye symptoms of patients undergoing contralateral LASIK using Contoura with Phorcides calculation vs. LASIK using iDesign calculation. Surgical treatment will be randomized so there is a 50% chance to receive LASIK using Contoura with Phorcides vs LASIK using iDesign calculation on the contralateral eye. Subjects will receive standard of care topical ophthalmic antibiotic and steroid drops. This will be a prospective randomized double blind contralateral study. The patient and the staff doing the post-op evaluations will be blinded to which eye received which treatment.

Percentage of eyes with Uncorrected Visual Acuity of 20/16 or better at 6-month Post-Op
Post-operative uncorrected visual acuity of 20/16 or better measure with ETDRS chart; unit = percentage eyes with Uncorrected Visual Acuity.
Time frame: 6-month Post-Op
Change in high contrast visual acuity at 6-month Post-Op
Change in the mean uncorrected visual acuity (unit = logMAR) measure with ETDRS chart from baseline (pre-op) at 6 months post-op.
Time frame: Change from baseline (pre-op) to 6-month Post-Op
Change in refractive error at 6-month Post-Op
Change in the mean refractive error measure with phoropter (unit = diopters) from baseline (pre-op) at 6 months post-op.
Time frame: Change from baseline (pre-op) to 6-month Post-Op
