Filter by:To explore the effectiveness of using low-intensity single-wavelength red light to prevent myopia in schoolchildren, and to provide a feasible scheme for reducing the incidence of myopia.
This study is aimed at examining the BCVA from try-on glasses constructed from measurements from the EyeQue VisionCheck.
This study aims to perform biomechanical tests on extracted CLEAR lenticles that are routinely discarded after surgery. The investigators also aim to perform Brillouin microscopy to get an in-vivo assessment of the patient's cornea preoperatively and to correlate this data with the postoperative characterization of the extracted corneal lenticule. The characterization will be done with established biomechanical and morphologic tests.
Myopia, considered as a global epidemic, is rapidly rising in prevalence especially in east Asian countries. Younger ages are associated with greater annual progression and thus early onset myopia is likely to result in higher levels of final net myopia.[1] Myopia, especially high myopia (more than -6.00D) is associated vision threatening complications such as cataract, glaucoma, choroidal thinning, vitreous liquefaction, myopic maculopathy, retinal detachment etc. Furthermore, myopia can affect the quality of life of an individual through restriction of employment in certain fields such as aviation. Myopia also imposes economic burden through the recurring cost of vision correction such as spectacles, contact lenses and specialist consultation fee. It is therefore important to develop novel optical and pharmaceutical strategies that can control or slow the progression of myopia.
This study will examine the accommodative behavior in children undergoing myopia control treatments. A subset of children showing reduced accommodation, known to occur in while wearing multifocal soft contact lenses (MFCL) from previous studies, will undergo auditory biofeedback training to improve the accommodative response and possibly improve treatment efficacy. The results of this study will be used to design a larger clinical trial. Aim 1 - The accommodation response in myopic children being treated with MFCL for six months or longer, will be determined. The accommodative response data will be collected while the patients are wearing the MFCL and will be compared to the baseline control response when the subjects wear single vision soft contact lenses (SVCL). Additional comparisons will include accommodative measures in untreated myopic children wearing spectacle corrections (unttreated controls), children being treated with ortho-keratology contact lenses, and children treated with low-dose atropine (0.01%, considered not to affect accommodation). How these additional myopia treatments affect the accommodation response has yet to be determined. Aim 2 - Children treated with MFCL who show reduced accommodative responses will undergo a brief period of auditory biofeedback accommodative training to determine whether the response in children can be improved and how long it can be sustained. Improving the accommodative response in these patients may improve the treatment efficacy by increasing the effect of the positive power addition built into the lenses.
Vision and comfort, both objective and subjective, will be assessed for single vision contact lens wearers for either the APIOC™ Sphere or the APIOC™ Astigmatism contact lenses.
The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of the Menicon Z Night orthokeratolgy contact lens for reducing myopia progression in children.
To compare axial length growth of white European myopic children wearing Menicon Z Night orthokeratology contact lenses to a control group of distance, single-vision glasses and contact lenses over an 11-year period.
To assess the long-term efficacy of the Menicon Z Night orthokeratology contact lens in controlling the progression of childhood myopia
The AQUARIUZ ablation laser is a solid-state laser and has been CE approved for corneal surgery since March 2020 for the treatment of short- and longsightedness with and without astigmatism. The aim of this study is to collect the first clinical data. Safety and performance are examined here. The treatment with AQUARIUZ is comparable to treatments with an excimer laser, with the difference that these are operated with gas. Solid-state lasers and excimer lasers use the same process for tissue ablation, with a small difference in wavelength. This difference manifests itself in the lower involvement of water in the ablation process with the result of a gentler and safer treatment. Similar to excimer lasers for corneal surgery, the AQAURIUZ system (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG) is equipped with a fast eye tracker (eye tracking system) to correct eye movements during the treatment. The shape of the removed portion of the cornea has an aspherical profile corresponding to the state of the art. The primary objective is to assess the safety of use of the AQUARIUZ corneal ablation laser for LASIK procedures in myopia and myopia with astigmatism. The secondary objective is to compare the predicted visual and refractive outcomes of LASIK procedures using the AQUARIUZ Ablation with clinical data. The study is planned in 3 phases to mitigate the inherent risk of a first in man study and to allow for verification and confirmation of the system correction factor at an early stage.
