Choroidal Change on OCTA in Eyes With High Myopia

Start date: February 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Myopia is a global healthy concern, especially the high myopia and pathological myopia among Asian populations. However, its mechanism still remains largely unclear. Recent findings suggested choroidal changes might be related to the development of myopia. This study is to useOCT angiography (OCT-A) to investigate parapapillary choroidal microvasculature change in myopic eyes, and try to find the cause-and-effect relationship between choroidal change and the development of myopia.

Low-dose Atropine for Myopia Control in Children

AIM
Start date: October 19, 2021
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Myopia (nearsightedness) is the most common eye disorder. Only second to age, it is the main risk factor for major degenerative eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or retinal detachment. Their risk increases with the degree of myopia. Hence, prevention of myopia and slowing its progression is of high relevance. Almost all clinical studies, including two large randomised clinical trials (RCT) were performed in Asia with Asian study participants. The results indicate that atropine eye drops can attenuate myopic progression in children, even in low concentrations thus minimizing unwanted side effects. However, the cumulative evidence is yet not strong enough to recommend their unrestricted use, especially in a Non-Asian population. We therefore intend to set up an adequately powered RCT comparing atropine 0.02% eye drops with placebo to validate previous findings and to test whether this therapeutic concept holds its promise in a European population.

Can Distance Center and Near Center Multifocal Contact Lenses Control Myopia Progression in Children?

ADPADP
Start date: June 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Myopia has been increasing in prevalence and severity throughout the world over the last 30 years. Increasing levels of myopia are associated with increased frequency and severity of various ocular pathologies. Slowing myopia progression may help to reduce the future risks of these ocular pathologies. Conventional spectacles and contact lenses correct myopia by moving the central focus of the eye from in front of the retina to on the retina centrally. To varying degrees, these lenses allow the light to focus behind the retina, at varying peripheral retinal locations. These findings have led to efforts to design spectacle and contact lenses which correct peripheral hyperopic defocus, to reduce myopia progression. The consensus theory for how both multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs) and orthokeratology can control myopia progression is that they reduce, eliminate, or reverse relative peripheral hyperopic defocus. Existing published studies on the use of multifocal contact lenses to control myopia in humans have utilized lenses with the distance correction in the center with peripheral plus power to correct the peripheral blur. It is possible that one of the mechanisms responsible for myopia progression control with MFCLs is that when the eye is exposed to an image focused on the retina and simultaneously an image anterior to the retina, that this will suppress axial elongation and myopia progression. This mechanism would not be dependent on whether the anterior image is located in the central area of the retina or the peripheral area of the retina. While there are no published human studies demonstrating the effectiveness of near center MFCLs, this author has presented retrospective data showing no differences in myopia progression between near center and distance center MFCLs. Synergeyes, Inc.'s Duette contact lenses are hybrids of rigid gas permeable (RGP) with a silicon hydrogel peripheral portion or "skirt." They now make their MFCLs in both distance center (DC) and near center (NC) designs. This study will analyze the myopia progression of children after being randomly assigned to wear Duette MFCLs or Duette standard single vision contact lenses over a span of two years. Subjects assigned to the MFCL group will wear a DC lens on one eye and a NC lens on the other and will reverse this lens assignment every six months. Refractive changes will be measured by cycloplegic autorefraction and axial lengths will be measured with a laser interference biometer (Zeiss IOLMaster) at six-month intervals.

Atropine 0.01% Eye Drops in Myopia Study

AIMS
Start date: December 20, 2018
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Control of myopia progression has become an important goal because of concerns regarding significantly increased risks of retinal degeneration, retinal detachment, glaucoma and cataract associated with high myopia. It is also clear there prevalence of myopia in children and young adults is increasing all over the world. Several methods including use of progressive addition lenses, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, and life-style modifications (increased outdoor activity) have reported to alter myopia progression with varying efficacy. In general they have yielded clinical results of marginal significance. Atropine sulphate eye drops has consistently been demonstrated to inhibit axial myopia progression in both humans and animal models. Yet it has not found widespread clinical application for myopia control due to ocular side-effects of cycloplegia and pupil dilation. Recently 0.01% atropine has been shown to be effective in arresting myopia progression without side-effects of cycloplegia and near vision impairment and pupil dilatation and increased light sensitivity. Almost all studies on atropine have been carried out on children of Chinese origin. Efficacy (concentration and dosing) and safety need to be established in the population of interest, before routine use can be recommended. We plan to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical 0.01% atropine eye drops in slowing the progression of myopia and ocular axial elongation in Omani children. A total of 150 children of ages 6-16 years will be randomized to two groups. Intervention group will receive atropine 0.01% once daily in each eye for two years (Phase 1). Control group will not receive any medications. Follow up visits will be scheduled every three months in Phase 1. Subsequently, medication will be stopped and the study patients will be followed up every six months for one year (Phase 2). The progression of myopia (change in refractive error and axial length) will be compared in the two groups by objective methods.

Myopia Progression With a Novel Extended Depth of Focus Contact Lens

Start date: January 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Myopia has been increasing in prevalence and severity throughout the world over the last 30 years. Increasing levels of myopia are associated with increased frequencies and severity of various ocular pathologies, including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachments and other retinal pathologies and myopic maculopathy. Slowing myopia progression at a young age before the eye reaches excessive axial length may help to reduce the future risks of these ocular pathologies. Conventional spectacles and contact lenses are prescribed correct myopia by moving the central focus of the eye for distance viewing from in front of the retina to on the retina centrally, or at the fovea. To varying degrees, these lenses allow the light to focus behind the retina, at varying peripheral retinal locations. These findings have led to efforts to design spectacle and contact lenses which correct peripheral hyperopic defocus, to reduce myopia progression. The consensus theory for how both multifocal contact lenses and orthokeratology can control myopia progression is that they each can reduce, eliminate, or reverse relative peripheral hyperopic defocus. Existing published studies on the use of multifocal contact lenses to control myopia in humans have utilized lenses with the distance correction in the center with peripheral plus power to correct the peripheral blur. Until recently, there have been no daily disposable multifocal lenses in the US market with distance center designs. The NaturalVue contact lens from Visioneering Technologies, Inc. is the first daily disposable distance center multifocal in the US. It has a novel extended depth of focus design where the distance correction is in the center of the optical zone, surrounded by a zone characterized by having a seamless, rapid transition from the distance power to a highly plus power at the edge of the optical zone. This study will analyze the myopia progression of patients in the investigator's practice while wearing their habitual visual corrections for periods up to two years prior to being switched to NaturalVue contact lenses. They will then be followed for up to two years after beginning use of this novel lens design and the differences in their myopia progression after versus before this novel lens will be analyzed. Axial lengths will be measured with the IOLMaster after switching to NaturalVue, at six-month intervals and will be compared to axial lengths which have been collected with habitual corrections.
