This retrieves evidence from populations with overlapping reported ranges. It does not predict an individual outcome or assess candidacy.
472 observed eyes across matching follow-ups
Percentages are results a study reported for its own patients, not a prediction for you. Where a study measured an outcome more than once, the latest matching follow-up is shown. “Not reported” means the study did not publish that number; it does not mean zero.
Share of checked eyes that could see 20/20 or better without glasses or contact lenses after treatment.
Share of checked eyes that landed within half a diopter of the correction the study aimed for.
Share of checked eyes that landed within one diopter of the correction the study aimed for.
Share meeting that study’s definition of dry eye; questionnaires, tests and thresholds can differ.
Share reporting rings around lights under the questions and symptom threshold used by that study.
Share reporting uncomfortable or scattered brightness under the questions and threshold used by that study.

Share whose dry-eye questionnaire score fell within the range that study defined as normal; this is not automatically the inverse of a dry-eye diagnosis rate.
A questionnaire score about dry-eye symptoms and their effect on daily life; lower scores generally mean fewer symptoms.
