Filter by:Rare Eye Diseases (RED) are the leading cause of severe visual impairment/ blindness (SVI/B) in children in Europe. This sensory disability with its accompanying psychological distress hugely impacts their lives and their families. Understanding this impact, at a patient centred level, is key in care, in shared decision making, in developing therapies, and in improving social integration and participation about the standard rules of the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) (prevention, non-discrimination, equal opportunities, accessibility, etc.). However, current tools to evaluate vision related (VR) quality of life (QoL) VR-QoL disregard age and cultural differences. There is a lack knowledge on how the disease matters at child's level. Instruments capable of yielding high-quality data, psychometrically robust and comply with regulatory requirements remain to be developed. To fill this gap, SeeMyLife will use multilevel concurrent mixed method research combining quantitative studies and qualitative studies. The quantitative approach is based on (i) cross culturally translated validated VR-QoL questionnaires for children and teenagers (Functional Vision Questionnaire for Children and Young People - FVQ-CYP and Vision-related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Young People - VQoL-CYP) and (ii) on caregiver's questionnaires addressing participation and environment (Participation and Environment Measure - Children and Youth - PEM-CY). To fully capture the picture of the child/teenager personal life the investigators will reinforce their investigations by in depth qualitative socio-anthropologic study with semi directive field interviews and fieldwork (to observe closely the living conditions of the children) to address how their impairment affects their wellbeing, social integration, and how they feel about medical and social interventions. Data analysis will use an integrated mixed method strategy to validate the quantitative tools and deliver a holistic QoL transnational tool. The SeeMyLife project will provide (i) robust patient self-reported tools that will be then used in care and research (especially with the rise in novel therapies) as a standard as well as (ii) highly awaited knowledge about the SVI/B patient's position within his own life course, within his family and in relation to health and social care actors.
Orthokeratology(OK) is currently one of the effective methods for treating myopia, reshaping the corneal epithelium to change refractive power. Due to its contact with the ocular surface, long-term wearing could lead to symptoms and signs of dry eye disease(DED) , as well as changes in tear film stability. This prospective study randomly divided 300 children and adolescents with myopia into OK group and spectacles group, with a follow-up of 12 months. At baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, non-invasive tear breakup time (NIBUT), ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and visual analogue score (VAS) score, tear meniscus height (TMH), conjunctival hyperemia (RS score) and meibomian gland (MG) scores, tear MMP-9 concentration, and point-of-care Lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) test.
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was aimed to determine the effects of eye masking on sleep quality and tear layer function in patients with dry eye disease. In this regard, a total of 34 patients with dry eye disease aged between 20 to 35 years old will be participated. They will be randomly divided into case and control (n=17) groups. Patients in the case group will be instructed to wear the eye mask as long as two weeks and the controls will be recommended to not wear it at the same time. Afterwards, the eye mask application will be cross- over for the next 2 hours between the two groups. Tear layer will be investigated in baseline and repeated in both follow- ups of weeks 2 and 4, either quantitatively and qualitatively, by using Schirmer and TBUT tests. Furthermore, the sleep quality will be checked by the PSQI test.
The objective is to compare the USL and placebo in terms of efficacy and safety, and to determine the appropriate dosage.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of topical spironolactone ophthalmic solution, 0.005 mg/cc in subjects with dry eye disease compared to placebo. The hypothesis for this study is that topical spironolactone ophthalmic solution will be beneficial in the management of signs and symptoms of dry eye disease when compared to placebo.
This study intends to analyze the characteristics between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and peripapillary area in high myopia with or without glaucoma
This study aims to involve the public, patients and National Health Service (NHS) staff in co-designing a scalable, inclusive and sustainable implementation model for ophthalmic remote consultation with vision self-testing (the intervention). The main study questions are: What are the barriers to uptake of the intervention and how can these be mitigated by the design of the implementation model. How do implementation outcome measures compare before and after real world application of the model.
The goal of this interventional investigation is to compare BUFY02 with TRB02 in the treatment of patients with dry eye disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is BUFY02 non-inferior to TRB02 in terms of signs of DED? - Is BUFY02 non-inferior to TRB02 in terms of symptoms of DED? Participants will be asked to: - Visit the trial site at 4 different timepoints - Use the allocated study treatment everyday until the end of the study (during 3 months) - Be examined by the investigator - Complete several questionnaires - Return unused study treatment. Researchers will compare BUFY02 to TRB02 to see if both study treatments provide similar effects on signs and symptoms of the disease, together with comparable safety.
The goal of this interventional investigation is to compare BUFY01 with SVS20 in the treatment of patients with dry eye disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is BUFY01 non-inferior to SVS20 in terms of signs of DED? - Is BUFY01 non-inferior to SVS20 in terms of symptoms of DED? Participants will be asked to: - Visit the trial site at 4 different timepoints - Use the allocated study treatment everyday until the end of the study (during 3 months) - Be examined by the investigator - Complete several questionnaires - Return unused study treatment. Researchers will compare BUFY01 to SVS20 to see if both study treatments provide similar effects on signs and symptoms of the disease, together with comparable safety.
The goal of this non-randomized, prospective, open, one-arm clinical study is to learn about the clinical efficacy of stem cell eye drops in patients with dry eye disease (DED) who failed to respond to artificial tear sodium hyaluronate eye drops three times a day for two weeks. The main question aims to answer are: - How effective are stem cell eye drops in patients with DED? - How safe are stem cell eye drops for patients with DED? Participants will be treated with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) eye drops, 5×10^5 /50μl in each eye, twice a day for two weeks and they will be followed up for three months after treatment.
