Filter by:The objective of the present study is to develop a therapeutic, adaptive, and enjoyable game that will be used by children with CVI between the mental age of 3 and 12 years. Such a game will be easy to use and implement by the children, their parents, and therapists.
This study aims to compare the efficacy of an in-home telehealth-based intervention to standard care for children with cortical visual impairment and their caregivers and to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an in-home telehealth-based intervention approach for children with cortical visual impairment and their caregivers. This pilot study will utilize a randomized two group crossover design with assessment at 4 time periods. The assessments will occur at remote locations.
This study is a community trial that aims to establish and evaluate an mHealth screening and promotional tool for improving eye health in Iran. Sampling frame is a region in Tehran province with around 1 million sub-urban and rural inhabitants. investigators have obtained the list of health centers and their underserved population from the health authorities. In this region, health services are delivered through rural health houses, urban health posts and overhead health centers (221 units in total). investigators choose 27 units using cluster random sampling method with a probability proportional to size strategy, then investigators randomly assign them into three arms (explained below). The interventions will be at community level with the community as the unit of randomization. Arm 1- Training of the Primary Health Care (PHC) workers + PHC workers will be empowered with the mHealth tool to monitor, screen and promote community members Arm 2- PHC system will be strengthened with health promotion and screening programmes (same content as the mHealth tool) and PHC workers will deliver eye health messages and screening tests by the conventional facilities. Arm 3: Control group: only observation and registering of routine care
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab vs. aflibercept in the treatment of patients with visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME).
A retrospective, non-interventional, observational, multi-center, drug utilization study to be conducted in adult participants with visual impairment due to DME treated with Ozurdex implants in Germany and Switzerland from 1 January 2015 to 1 September 2017.
The aim of this study was to investigate the eye structure, visual impairment, visual motor development and motor coordination of children between 2-6 ages that had applied to diod laser photocoagulation and intravitreal anti - vascular endothelial growth factor treatment.
Patients with acute onset Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD) was prospectively included in this study. They were systematically followed with clinical, posterior segment imaging exams and full-field electroretinogram during a minimum 24-month of follow-up. All patients were treated with 3-day methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by 1mg/day oral prednisone with a slow tapper during a median of 13 months. Non-steroidal immunosuppressive therapy (IMT) was introduced in cases of refractory disease or in cases of prednisone intolerance. Outcome measured by full-field electroretinogram was analyzed and patient was grouped as electroretinogram stable or electroretinogram worsening. Clinical data was analyzed in these two electroretinogram-based groups.
The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness and adverse side-effects of the virtual bioptic telescope and virtual projection screen in a new head-mounted video-based low vision enhancement system (LVES) with a wide field of view to currently employed specifications for head-mounted video display low vision enhancement technology. Secondary objectives are to acquire qualitative information from patients to evaluate the functioning of the system, to optimize system features and operations, and to assess the value patients place on system features, functions, and operating parameters relative to those of current technology. Investigators will conduct a comparative effectiveness study to determine if the novel vision enhancing features of LVES 2 provide low vision patients with benefits superior to those provided by existing technology.
This study is planned to test an educational intervention promoting the use of spectacles among secondary school children. It is based on the hypothesis that educating teachers, parents and children about the importance of wearing spectacles has the potential to increase spectacle wear among children.Reasons for non-compliance towards spectacle use will be explored and educational intervention will be planned considering these reasons. Educational intervention will increase awareness about the importance of spectacles use and reduce the barriers towards spectacle use.Reducing barriers will increase compliance towards spectacles use which will ultimately prevent the avoidable visual impairment.
The aims of the Improving Communication with Formal/Informal Caregivers among Older Adults with Dual Sensory Impairment: Feasibility of Hearing Intervention in a Low Vision Rehabilitation Clinic (LVR) are: Primary aims Aim 1 To characterize prevalence of objective hearing impairment (i.e. DSI) among a clinical LVR population) in older adults (≥60 years) with English proficiency free from moderate to severe depression or cognitive decline using the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE) assessment and an objective hearing evaluation. Aim 2 To describe the perceived burden of care on primary caregiver (identified people who assist with two or more activities of daily living. instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs/Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs))of individuals with dual sensory impairment (DSI) among a clinical LVR population in older adults (≥60 years) with English proficiency free from moderate to severe depression or cognitive decline using the Zarit Burden Interview questionnaire and qualitative interview data analyses. Aim 3 To determine feasibility and benefit of a pilot manualized over-the-counter hearing intervention program on LVR patients to address communication among a DSI population using the Zarit Burden Interview questionnaire. 3A: Describe feasibility based on completion of pilot, drop-out rate, and semi-structured interviews 3B: Describe perceived communication improvements based on semi-structured interviews
