Filter by:This study seeks to evaluate the clinical fitting performance of a new daily disposable contact lens to an existing daily disposable contact lens.
This study seeks to evaluate the clinical and subjective performance of a new daily disposable soft contact lens.
This study seeks to evaluate the impact of wearing a new daily disposable soft contact lens on the neophyte population.
This study seeks to evaluate the clinical and subjective performance of two established soft contact lenses.
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.
To compare the safety and efficacy of the CVI silicone-hydrogel lens worn on an extended wear basis for a period of up to 7 days and 6 nights with the Acuvue 2 soft contact lenses.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective clinical trial to compare conventional and WFG LASIK for enhancements on post-LASIK patients. Differences in safety, efficacy, visual quality, and refractive stability will also be compared during this study.
The present study was designed to compare the use of mitomycin in PRK for the treatment of refractive errors and to compare these results to customized Lasik
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if interventions within the nursing home to restore vision, or cope with visual loss, in residents with visual impairment result in improvement or less decline in mobility scores, and socialization scores, compared to residents with visual impairment in nursing homes with no such intervention. The investigators hypothesized that nursing home residents with visual loss who receive cataract surgery, or refractive correction, or low vision aids would have have better socialization scores and mobility scores at 6 months and 12 months compared to nursing home residents with visual impairment who are advised to seek services, but have no specific program.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate whether interventions to improve vision in nursing home residents have an impact on residents' health-related quality of life. The interventions being evaluated are correction of refractive error (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, presbyopia) and cataract surgery.
