Filter by:A 2-year prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, and double-blind clinical trial is used to investigate the efficacy of a new design of ophthalmic lenses to slow the progression of myopia. 300 children aged from 6 to 13 years old will be recruited and randomly assigned to a study or control group. The study group will be composed of 150 children wearing MyoCare while the control group will be composed of 150 children wearing Clearview. The inclusion criteria will be myopia with a spherical equivalent between -0.75D and -5.00D, astigmatism < 1.50D, and anisometropia < 1.00D, as well as having a historical evolution of at least -0.50 The primary outcome is to compare the mean annual progression of the spherical equivalent between both groups. The secondary outcomes are axial length, choroidal thickness, phorias, and accommodative status of both groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about an innovative surgical technique for macular hole repair. This technique is for patients with high myopia using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with corneal flap transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the innovative surgical technique useful for patients? - Is the surgical technique safe for patients? Participants will: - Undergo PPV combined with corneal flap transplantation to cover the macular hole. - Maintain a prone position for 2 weeks postoperatively. - Be observed by visual acuity, slit lamp, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography for 1 year after surgery.
The proposed study below aims to assess the effect of customized Bestivue PDL lenses on retinal image quality and myopia control. A total of 160 subjected would be enrolled in and randomized to allcoate into four groups. Visual acuity and image blur at various gaze directions and eccentricities on children fitted with +2 to 4 D power and single vision lenses would be measured to assess the short term effect of PDL lens. Axial length and cycloplegic objective refractive error would be measured to assess the Myopia-control Efficacy.
This is a monocenter, randomized, controlled, parallel-group, double-masked clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of test lens in slowing myopia progression with respect to axial length elongation at baseline compared to a single vision spectacle lens (control). A total of 80 children will be recruited where 40 subjects will be allocated either to wear test lenses (group 1) or control lenses (group 2) for 1 year through randomization.
This is a phase III, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter safety, tolerability, and efficacy study of atropine sulfate 0.01% (OT-101) as an investigational treatment for myopia in pediatric subjects
Aim of the work PIC in pathological myopia has not been well documented due to difficult in diagnosis we conducted this retrospective study to characterize the clinical features of PIC in high myopic eye. - To show the diagnostic criteria of PIC lesions in high myopic patients. - Find out the prevalence of PIC related 'patchy atrophy' - To determine risk factor for developed PIC in a series of highly myopic patients. - Role of PIC in progression of high myopia. - Calculate the progression rate of PIC related lesion, by the size change during follow-up. - Search about complication of PIC in myopia. Patient and Methods This retrospective observational case series study included patients with high myopia who had been examined and followed-up in the High Myopia Clinic of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Approval from Ethics Committee of Tokyo Medical and Dental University was obtained, adhering to the tenets of Declaration of Helsinki. Signed informed consent documentation was obtained from all participants. All study participants underwent a detailed ophthalmologic examination at baseline and at each follow-up visit. The examinations included measurements of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using a Landolt C chart, refraction, slit lamp biomicroscopy, biometry for determination of axial length, (IOL Master; Carl Zeiss Meditec Co, Jena, Germany), fundus examination in medical mydriasis, fluorescein angiography, was performed with and colour fundus photography , and assessment of fundus autofluorescence (TRC-50DX; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) a or the Heidelberg Spectralis HRA system. Swept source Optical coherence tomography (OCT) used in assessment of the RPE and photoreceptors using a (DRI-OCT;Topcon, Tokyo, Japan). As scanning protocols, 9 mm or 6 mm radial with 12 equal meridian scans were performed. The swept-source OCT device has an A-scan repetition rate of 100 000 Hz, and its light source operates in the wavelength range of 1 μm.
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.
Myopia has been increasing in prevalence and severity throughout the world over the last 30 years. Increasing levels of myopia are associated with increased frequencies and severity of various ocular pathologies, including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachments and other retinal pathologies and myopic maculopathy. Slowing myopia progression at a young age before the eye reaches excessive axial length may help to reduce the future risks of these ocular pathologies. Conventional spectacles and contact lenses are prescribed correct myopia by moving the central focus of the eye for distance viewing from in front of the retina to on the retina centrally, or at the fovea. To varying degrees, these lenses allow the light to focus behind the retina, at varying peripheral retinal locations. These findings have led to efforts to design spectacle and contact lenses which correct peripheral hyperopic defocus, to reduce myopia progression. The consensus theory for how both multifocal contact lenses and orthokeratology can control myopia progression is that they each can reduce, eliminate, or reverse relative peripheral hyperopic defocus. Existing published studies on the use of multifocal contact lenses to control myopia in humans have utilized lenses with the distance correction in the center with peripheral plus power to correct the peripheral blur. Until recently, there have been no daily disposable multifocal lenses in the US market with distance center designs. The NaturalVue contact lens from Visioneering Technologies, Inc. is the first daily disposable distance center multifocal in the US. It has a novel extended depth of focus design where the distance correction is in the center of the optical zone, surrounded by a zone characterized by having a seamless, rapid transition from the distance power to a highly plus power at the edge of the optical zone. This study will analyze the myopia progression of patients in the investigator's practice while wearing their habitual visual corrections for periods up to two years prior to being switched to NaturalVue contact lenses. They will then be followed for up to two years after beginning use of this novel lens design and the differences in their myopia progression after versus before this novel lens will be analyzed. Axial lengths will be measured with the IOLMaster after switching to NaturalVue, at six-month intervals and will be compared to axial lengths which have been collected with habitual corrections.
This study is design to evaluate the effect of conbercept therapy on visual acuity and anatomic outcomes compared to sham injection and durability of response observed in subjects with choroid neovascularization secondary to pathological myopia.
