This research project will compare two methods of correcting refractive error (long or short-sightedness) with spectacle lenses. The primary outcome is the proportion of the population requiring spectacle correction who's needs are met through each scheme. Secondary outcomes are the cost effectiveness of these schemes and development of guidelines for identification of those amongst the population suitable for 'ready-made' spectacles. There are two sites involved in this research. Those with uncorrected refractive error will be identified by their distance vision. Those who have impaired vision (at least 20/40) which improves with spectacles will be invited to participate in this research. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. The first group will receive spectacles with full correction in both eyes and the second group will receive spectacles from a limited inventory. The two schemes will be compared by how many people continue to use the spectacles, vision with the new spectacles, change in the level of visual functioning and quality of life after wearing new spectacles for one month. At the one month visit, if the spectacles provided are not useful, one new pair of custom spectacles will be dispensed.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the PureVision Contact Lens compared to Acuvue Oasys Contact lens and O2Optix Contact lens when worn on a daily wear basis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the myopic optical defocus on the Humphrey Matrix 30-2 test.
To evaluate the effect of PEG-400 and Systane on quality of vision after LASIK.
This study seeks to evaluate the clinical performance of a recently improved daily disposable contact lens to an established daily disposable contact lens that contains a wetting agent.
To assess the effect of oral administration of the alga Dunaliella bardawil containing approximately 50% all-trans beta-carotene and 50% 9-cis beta-carotene isomers on visual functions patients with Congenital Stationary Night Blindness {Fundus albipunctatus).
To evaluate and compare the effect of the prophylactic use of two different exposure times of mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% to inhibit haze formation after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for high myopia (> -7.0 D). Methods: Forty six eyes of twenty three patients, 8 men and 15 women, with high myopia were included in this prospective study. Mean age at the time of PRK plus MMC was 31.7 years. Before PRK, the mean spherical equivalent was -8.50 D (range, -7.25 to -10.50 D). In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK and a single intraoperative topical application of mitomycin C 0.02% for 15 seconds (Group 1) and the fellow eye, for 30 seconds (Group 2).The inclusion criteria were high myopia, no central corneal opacity and inadequate corneal thickness to allow a safe Laser in situ keratomileusis procedure. Refraction, uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and slit-lamp evidence of corneal opacity (haze) were evaluated over 12 months
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of silicone hydrogel contact lenses on conjunctival flora over a period of 6 months of daily wear. A secondary aim is to compare the levels of microbial contamination of silicone hydrogel lenses after daily wear.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether contact lens wear will improve children's self-perceptions more than spectacle wear.
