Aberration, Corneal Wavefront clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Monofocal Extended Range of Vision (MERoV) Study

MERoV

Start date: July 3, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The investigators are proposing this research project to: 1. Screen a set of patients after normal cataract surgery with a single focus lens aimed at good distance vision at 3 months after surgery to identify patients who are able to see and read well without glasses. 2. Identify the combination of factors responsible for this phenomenon in the patients who are achieving this. Potentially eligible patients will be given an invitation letter and patient information sheet on the day they arrive for surgery. They will then be asked if they are happy to be contacted by phone 2-4 weeks post-surgery with a view to booking them into an additional research visit at 3 months after their surgery. At 3 months after surgery they will have their un-corrected vision checked. They will also have their reading speed assessed without any glasses. They will undergo a through refractive check by an optometrist to assess the power of the spectacles (if needed) and following this they will have a scan of the eye (a technique known as wave front analysis which uses very sophisticated optics) to capture the optical distortions in the structures of the eye. If this study is able identify factor/s responsible for giving good unaided reading and distance vision then this factor can be reproduced in eyes undergoing cataract surgery. This will mean that the patients can have an increased option of spectacle independence without the need for expensive multifocal IOLs and their associated side effects such as glare and halos, particularly at night.
