Active clinical trials for "Myopia"

The purpose of this study is to see if the drug bevacizumab is safe and effective to use for people with choroidal neovascularization (CNV). CNV is an eye condition where abnormal blood vessels grow in the part of the eye responsible for central (straight ahead) vision. The drug is produced using recombinant DNA technology and has been approved by the FDA for use in colon cancer. Although not yet approved for people with CNV, the FDA has given permission to use this drug in this study.

To evaluate the efficacy of NeuroVision NVC vision correction technology to improve the vision of subjects with Low and Moderate Myopia in Asian eyes in Singapore

The objective of this pilot study is to establish whether brief periods of high levels of acutely imposed myopic defocus can be used to slow the progression of myopia in children, as measured by changes in spherical equivalent refraction and axial length.

To determine whether radial keratotomy is effective in reducing myopia. To detect complications of the surgery. To discover patient characteristics and surgical factors affecting the results. To determine the long-term safety and efficacy of the procedure.

Myopia has become one of the leading causes of visual impairment globally and brings a heavy burden on the society. Therefore, preventing and controlling the progression of myopia has become an urgent public health issue that needs to be addressed. The purpose of this study is to provide real-world evidence for identifying the incidence of myopia control (axial length growth rate ≤ 0.1mm/year) after 36-month RLRL therapy, and long-term safety of RLRL therapy in children and adolescents.

Photobiomodulation therapy, that is, Low-level red-light technology provides a new and innovative myopia control approach. This strategy enables relatively high energies of light to be delivered at much shorter durations of exposure to induce the myopia control effect. The efficacy of the low-level red-light technology has been proven in a Chinese populationb for the recent 3 years with evidence based papers and amazing results. However, there's not yet evidence to demonstrate the relationship between the dose response effect of photobiomodulation therapy on myopia control at the different age lever.

To assess the improvement in refractive error and the corneal endothelial safety with a customized corneal crosslinking treatment regimen for low grade myopia. The study compares two treatment protocols, a 4.0-mm central ring-shaped zone with a 3.5-mm central ring-shaped zone in high oxygen environment without corneal epithelial debridement.

Investigate the effectiveness and safety of pars plans vitrectomy, with internal limiting membrane peeling for cases of myopic traction maculopathy

compare the efficacy, safety and predictability of corneal wavefront guided (WFG) and aberration free ablation in single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) in myopic patients with high pre-existing corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs).

Myopia is a common disease of the eye with increasing prevalence all over the world including Denmark where the prevalence has increased from 12,8% in 2004 among young adults (mean age 19,3 years) till 17,9% in 2017 among school children (mean age 15,4 years). High myopia is associated with an increasing risk of sight threatening complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular choroidal degeneration, and myopic choroidal neovascularization. In myopia the eye is elongated compared to an emmetropic eye. If the elongation of the eye can be controlled the progression of myopia can be controlled. Asian studies have shown reduction in axial length growth by 36-46% in children using orthokeratology contact lenses (OKL). OKL are custom fit, form stable lenses. During sleep the cornea is reshaped creating an emmetropic vision during the day, so no glasses or contact lenses are needed. In the CONTROL-study 60 Danish children aged six to 13 years were randomized 1:1 to either OKL (intervention group) or single vision spectacles (SVS) (control group) and followed for 18 months to compare changes in axial length (AL). In CONTROL2 the intervention group will be followed for another 18 month and the control group will be crossed over to OKL treatment. The aims of CONTROL2 is to: Investigate changes in axial length after 3 years of OKL wear (DreamliteR, Procornea, Nederlands). Investigate changes in progression rate 18 month before and after OKL wear. Investigate correlations between changes in choroidal thickness and changes in AL. Investigate the safety of OKL treatment (Efron score). Investigate changes in quality of life before and after OKL treatment using Pediatric Refractive Error Profile 2 (PREP2). Investigate correlations between AC/A-ratio, peripheral refraction and higher order aberrations on myopia progression.
