Active clinical trials for "Refractive Errors"

The study is a 2-phase, prospective, open-label, comparative (phase II) study design that was chosen for the purpose of optimizing the Cheetah settings (phase I), and evaluating the Cheetah system quality of LASIK flap (phase II).

This is a prospective, comparative, randomized, controlled, open-label, single-surgeon, single-center PMCF clinical study whereby presbyopic patients undergoing refractive surgery will receive a SUPRACOR treatment for the correction in the non-dominant eye and a PROSCAN refractive treatment in the dominant eye to correct for ametropia. The participants will be randomized to either a SUPRACOR regular (100%) or SUPRACOR strong (130%) treatment with a 1:1 ratio.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the multifocal Artiflex Presbyopic intraocular lens.

Results of retinal detachment surgery may be affected in cases with history of previous intraocular surgery.

Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) live with visual deficits due, in part, to elevated levels of higher-order optical aberrations (HOA). HOAs are distortions/abnormalities in the structure of the refractive components of the eye (i.e. the cornea and the lens) that, if present, can result in poor quality focus on the retina, thus negatively impacting vision. HOAs in the general population are overall low, and thus not ordinarily considered during the eye examination and determination of refractive correction. However, for some populations, such as individuals with DS, HOAs are elevated, and thus the commonly used clinical techniques to determine refractive corrections may fall short. The most common clinical technique for refractive correction determination is subjective refraction whereby a clinician asks the patient to compare different lens options and select the lens that provides the best visual outcome. Given the cognitive demands of the standard subjective refraction technique, clinicians rely on objective clinical techniques to prescribe optical corrections for individuals with DS. This is problematic, because it may result in errors for eyes with elevated HOA given that these techniques do not include measurement of the HOAs. The proposed research evaluates the use of objective wavefront measurements that quantify the HOAs of the eye as a basis for refractive correction determination for patients with DS. The specific aim is to determine whether dilation of the eyes is needed prior to objective wavefront measurements. Dilation of the eyes increases the ability to measure the optical quality of the eye and paralyzes accommodation (the natural focusing mechanism of the eye), which could be beneficial in determining refractions. However, the use of dilation lengthens the process for determining prescriptions and may be less desirable for patients.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy on the retinal function and structure among myopic teenagers.

Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LNZ101 for the treatment of Presbyopia.

This study will be a 2-phase, prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, non-randomized clinical investigation to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the ELITA system.

The primary outcome of this study is to compare cyclopentolate 1% and tropicamide 1% for cycloplegic refractions in pediatric populations with esotropia. This will be a prospective double-blinded randomized clinical trial (RCT), multi-center, with randomized sequencing of cycloplegic agent; each patient received one agent at one visit, and the other agent in the next visit (2 different visits ≥ 1 week apart) within 3 months.

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a refractive intrastromal procedure for myopia and myopic astigmatism correction. Most of the studies evaluating astigmatic correction by SMILE reported astigmatic under-correction, especially in high degrees of astigmatism. This under-correction could be due to: first, the active eye tracker or the iris registration is not yet available to overcome the cyclotorsion that occurred during the treatment with the VisuMax femtosecond laser system (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) which could be overcome by manual compensation technique, especially in higher degrees of cylinders (> 1.5 diopters (D)). Second, in patients with small lenticule diameters, the more abrupt change in thickness at the edge of the treated area could induce more stromal and epithelial healing in this area. Thus, the astigmatic correction would be less effective with small than large lenticule diameters for similar high preoperative astigmatism. This study assessed the outcome of using a 0.5 millimeter (mm) larger lenticule diameter in the fellow eyes of myopic astigmatic correction SMILE participants. This assessment included the safety and effectiveness indices, the refractive and visual outcomes, the contrast sensitivity, and some morphological outcomes such as corneal curvature and epithelial and corneal thickness.
