Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new type of soft contact lens with a unique optical design (dual focus) is effective at slowing the progression of myopia (near-sightedness) in children.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine wether the initial protocol in the treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization associated to High Myopia with bevacizumab intravitreal injections is more effective when using 3 doses vs using 1 single dose in the load period
The purpose of this study is to compare the subjective performance for handling of two daily disposable contact lenses, stenfilcon A and etafilcon A.
Evaluate visual outcomes and contrast sensitivity for subjects undergoing bilateral myopic LASIK with a Nexisvision Shield or bandage contact lens placed postoperatively. Early speed of visual recovery results indicate that the visual recovery in the first 4 hours after the LASIK procedure show the most variability. A patient's ability to drive after their LASIK procedure would potentially alleviate a challenge that patients often face in taking additional time off work or simply finding a ride to there LASIK procedure.
Phase I: Focus groups on different designs of adjustable glasses and standard glasses (August-September 2012) Phase II: Two-month randomized trial comparing four groups: (September 2012 - August 2013)
Over 1 million people in the UK suffer from untreatable visual impairment, many of them elderly. The major complaint of visually impaired people is their inability to carry out simple tasks, especially those involving reading. It is known that this activity limitation is a major cause of depression in an older population, and it is reflected in reduced quality of life. Low vision clinics, mostly based within hospital ophthalmology departments, dispense optical magnifiers to allow patients to carry out these tasks again, but these devices do have limitations (unusual posture, short working distance, monocular viewing). Although electronic magnifiers have been around since the 1960s, they were initially very large and expensive. Recent advances in technology have brought about an explosion in the number and range of portable and moderately-priced aids, which can be used binocularly, in a natural working position: these are currently not available through the NHS. Evidence is needed as to whether these portable hand-held electronic magnifiers could offer a significant benefit to the majority of patients, and therefore whether they should be routinely dispensed in low vision clinics. The proposed study is a two-arm randomised crossover trial with existing users of optical magnifiers being assigned to use a hand-held electronic magnifier in addition to their existing devices for 2 months. Reading and task performance will be measured with the aid, and compared to the performance with optical aids, and the patient will be asked to report on the comparisons between the aids.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the lipid uptake, wetting characteristics, and visual performance of AIR OPTIX® AQUA and ACUVUE® OASYS® with HYDRACLEAR® contact lenses when used in conjunction with two contact lens care systems.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ALLEGRETTO WAVE EYE-Q excimer laser system for the reduction of myopia with or without astigmatism in subjects undergoing photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) treatment.
Evaluation of Comfilcon A and Senofilcon A Lenses
The purpose of this study is to document the programmed flap thickness to achieved flap thickness using the FS200 femtosecond laser in performing LASIK procedure. The FS200 Femtosecond laser is a precision surgical device that is used to create a flap in a FDA approved LASIK procedure.
