Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the visual outcomes and safety of ray-tracing-guided laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature.
Prospectively registered at PROSPERO.
Analyzed data on visual outcomes and safety from multiple studies.
Found that ray-tracing-guided LASIK significantly improves visual acuity.
Reported favorable safety profiles compared to traditional methods.
Indicated a high degree of patient satisfaction.
