Filter by:Myopia is the leading cause of blindness in Taiwan. The younger children with myopia, the higher risk of high myopia in later life and complications such as retinal detachment and maculopathy will occur. We have reported the low concentration of atropine (0.05%) with the effect on retarding the myopia progression. Recently the 0.01% atropine was also reported effective and with less visual side effects such as mydriasis. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy in controlling myopia progression and visual side effects of 2 low concentration of atropine(0.05% vs 0.01%) in children aged 6-12 years with myopia of at least -0.5 diopters (D) and astigmatism of -1.50 D or less.
Pathologic myopia is a major cause of legal blindness worldwide. In myopic macular degeneration (MMD), there is degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) layer, and associated photoreceptors, resulting in vision loss. There is currently no standard treatment for MMD. Transplantation of intact sheets of RPE and suspensions of isolated individual RPE cells as well as autologous translocation of RPE cells has been attempted as treatment for AMD. Human photoreceptors are comprised of two cell types-rods and cones. Both have a close relationship with the outermost retinal cells, the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). The RPE is located between the choroid and the photoreceptors. The RPE maintains photoreceptor function by recycling photopigments,delivering, metabolizing and storing vitamin A, phagocytosing rod photoreceptor outer segments, transporting iron and small molecules between retina and choroid, maintaining Bruch's membrane and absorbing stray light to allow better image resolution. In essence, the RPE layer is critical to the function and health of photoreceptors and the retina as a whole. Human PRE (hRPE) transplantation may be a viable option for treatment of degenerative diseases of the retina. MA09-hRPE cells are fully differentiated human RPE cells derived from embryonic stem cells. Transplanted hRPE cells prepared by Advanced Cell Technology have been studied in rodent models of macular degenerative disease. The data suggests that the subretinal injection of ACT's hRPE cell products rescues, or at least delays, loss of visual function in two animal models of retinal degenerative diseases. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MA09-hRPE cellular therapy in patients with Myopic Macular Degeneration (MMD). Another objective is to evaluate potential efficacy endpoints to be used in future studies of RPE cellular therapy.
This clinical study has been planned to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of common treatment algorithms using 500 Hz laser repetition rate for the correction of Ammetropia and Presbyopia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate lens centration and subjective impressions of DAILIES® AquaComfort Plus® (DACP) lenses compared to 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® (1DAM) lenses in ball sports players.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the axis location of toric contact lenses after 3 minutes of wear. During this 1-visit study, each participant wore 3 pairs of study lenses of various design iterations (2-87-1, 2-87-2, 2-87-3) for an exposure time of approximately 30 minutes each. Each pair consisted of lenses of the same design iteration, 1 lens with embossed mark [TEST1 (T1), TEST3 (T3), TEST5 (T5)], worn on the right eye, and 1 lens without embossed mark [TEST2 (T2), TEST4 (T4), and TEST6 (T6)] worn on the left eye.
The objective of the study is to compare the overall subjective preference of filcon II 3 daily disposable silicone hyrogel contact lenses compared to etafilcon A and nelfilcon A daily disposable conventional hydrogel contact lenses.
The objective of the study is to compare the overall subjective preference between two Daily Disposable hydrogel lenses when refitted into a third hydrogel lens.
The purpose of the study is to compare the results of PRKK surgery when using wavefront-guided excimer laser treatment compared to wavefront optimized excimer laser treatment in patients with nearsightedness with and without astigmatism
The purpose of this study is making use of school policy- recess outside classroom (ROC7-11) for increasing the time spent outdoor during recess and encouraging children spent time outdoor up to 11 hours in each week to investigate the vision change, myopia onset and progression in these schoolchildren.
This clinical study has been planned to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a common treatment algorithms (Proscan) using 500 Hz laser repetition rate.
