Filter by:The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a treatment regimen for high myopia and myopic astigmatism: LASIK followed by crosslinking performed with the KXL Crosslinking-System and VibeX Xtra (Riboflavin Ophthalmic Solution, Avedro, USA), as compared to LASIK alone, with regards to regression of refractive outcome, as measured by manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) and keratometry.
Myopia (nearsightedness) is increasing in prevalence throughout the world. It is associated with a risk of potentially blinding complications such as retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy. There is a direct association between the degree of myopia and the risk of complications. Myopia develops in childhood and during adolescence. To prevent higher degrees of myopia, we need to halt disease progression in children and teenagers. Low-dose atropine eye drops have been shown to reduce myopia progression by 50% in Asian populations but its effect in non-Asian populations is unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate if low-dose atropine can reduce myopia progression in Danish children and teenagers. The study is an investigator initiated randomized clinical trial conducted as a collaboration between three Danish Eye Departments covering all of Denmark.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate visual acuity at distance when wearing DDT2 contact lenses compared to Clariti contact lenses.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in developed countries among people over 50 years of age. Myopic maculopathy is also an important cause of irreversible vision loss. Reduced near visual acuity is still a major problem with all forms of AMD and myopic maculopathy. Various intraocular lenses for near vision (IOLs) or telescopic systems have been described but are not widely accepted and almost all solutions require phakic status of the eye and are implanted during cataract surgery. Therefore, these devices are not appropriated for pseudophakic AMD and myopic maculopathy patients. Scharioth Macula Lens (SML, Medicontur) is a magnifying intraocular lens for pseudophakic patients implanted in the ciliary sulcus in one eye of each patient. The implant has a bifocal optic, with a central 1.5mm diameter optical zone equivalent to +10D add and a peripheral zone optically neutral. The implantation of the add-on SML can improve the near visual acuity of pseudophakic patients with AMD and myopic maculopathy without impairing their distance visual acuity. The principal objective is to compare the near visual acuity, the far visual acuity and the self-reported vision health status before and after the SML implantation.
The current study aims to systematically investigate the diurnal variation in the optical quality of soft contact lenses on eye throughout the day. Subject reported quality of vision will also be evaluated.
This project aims to investigate/examine high myopic subjects on full correction ortho-k (using Topaz ortho-k lenses for high myopia) compared to subjects undergoing partial reduction ortho-k and their relationship with myopia and myopic progression.
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.
This is a prospective single-center study of implantations of the presbyopic version of phakic intraocular lens IPCL (EyeolUK, United Kingdom).
Diurnal variations in the thickness of the choroid have been reported in the literature, and, more recently, the role of the choroid has been studied with respect to its role in myopia (near-sightedness) progression.
