Filter by:The objective of this study is to compare the results of a deep learning approach to diabetic retinopathy assessment with results from (1) an in-person examination with an ophthalmologist, and (2) the assessments of optometrists involved in a teleretinal screening program.
The primary objective of the protocol is to determine if intravitreal ranibizumab alone decreases retinal neovascularization from Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) with deferred panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and/or vitrectomy at one year after treatment with ranibizumab has been initiated.
Early detection and intervention of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is critical in preventing DR-related vision loss among type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients, currently estimated at over 100 million in China alone. Yet the healthcare resources, particularly retinal specialists, are in short supply and unevenly distributed. In order to help address this enormous mismatch and implement population-based screening, an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled, cloud based software is developed by training a custom-built convolutional neural network. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of such device in detecting referable diabetic retinopathy (moderate non-proliferative DR or worse).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between DME and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA impacts millions of North Americans, many of whom are undiagnosed. The investigators aim to evaluate if a relationship exists between the two diseases, whether or not the severity of OSA impacts the severity of DME, and whether treating OSA results in better treatment outcomes for DME. The study will involve the standard of care provided for both DME (involving anti-VEGF injections) and OSA (involving continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] machine).Approximately 150 subjects are expected to be enrolled in this study. In summary: Question 1: Is there a correlation between DME and OSA? Question 2: Is there a relationship between the severity of DME (CRT and vision) and OSA (AHI index)? Question 3: Does treating OSA result in improving DME metrics, and does it neutralize the outcomes at 1 year compared to OSA negatives.
This study is directed to evaluate the role of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) in the evaluation of the perifoveal vascular network in type 1 diabetic patients, and to investigate the relationship between OCT-A-derived parameters and demographic and clinical factors, as metabolic control and duration of the disease.
The PROTECT2 pilot study is a single cohort prospective study to gather pilot data and finalize operational details of the main study. The PROTECT2 main study is a prospective randomized controlled multi-center three group clinical trial. The primary endpoint is the percentage of participants in each study group obtaining a qualified eye examination within 12 months of their enrollment in the study.
The CLEAR study is testing the level of agreement between visual acuity and Amsler grid testing using a mobile vision testing application, Checkup Study, and standard in office methods. In addition the percent of patients able to successfully complete home testing on the digital device will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills in patients with diabetic retinopathy(Syndrome Of Qi-Stagnation and Blood Stasis).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether supplementation with OcuStem, a nutritional supplement, will reduce the progression of mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina associated with long-term Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. DR is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. Standard optical coherence tomography (OCT) cannot directly detect vascular changes, which may occur early affecting the passage of blood through the tiny capillaries (reduced capillary flow) or cause the greatest damage through formation of abnormal blood vessel growth (neovascularization). Currently, fluorescein angiography (FA) is the gold standard for detecting these changes, but FA requires an injection of a dye into the vein of the arm of the patient. This dye can cause undesirable side effects. Recently, OCT has been used to make functional measurements (such as total retinal blood flow among others) and to perform angiography. Thus, functional OCT may provide a useful, alternate way to evaluate diabetic retinopathy.
