The Model Building and Empirical Research of Eye Health Interventions for Children
MyopiaThe purpose of this study is to determine whether Eye Health Intervention can obviously reduce and delay myopia onset and development and improved the awareness rate of knowledge apparently .
Multi Laser Platform Comparison Study for LASIK
MyopiaAstigmatismComparison of LASIK outcomes using 3 different lasers and a total of 5 different treatment platforms.
Study of Myopia Acquisition and Prevention
MyopiaPurpose: To determine whether the use of reading glasses blocks the near work mediated increased incidence of myopia in healthy school children. Methods: SMART enrolled 115 emmetropic children (ages 7-9 years). The children were recruited in the Principality of Liechtenstein. They were randomly assigned to either the control group (n=52) or to receive reading glasses with a lens power of +2.0 dioptres (n=63). The primary outcome measure was progression towards myopia as determined by autorefraction after cycloplegia. The secondary outcome measure was change in biometry measurements of corneal curvature, axial length, anterior chamber depth, crystalline lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth using partial coherence interferometry.
Effect of Increasing Time Spent Outdoors on Myopia Prevention in School-Aged Children in Northeast...
MyopiaThe purpose of this study is to develop a school-based intervention aimed at prevent the onset and development of myopia among school aged children by increasing time spent outdoors in northeast China.
TGFB1 And LAMA1 Gene Polymorphisms in High Myopia
High MyopiaGene MutationsThe investigators aimed to investigate TGFB1 and LAMA1 gene polymorphisms in children with high myopia in order to determine the genetic basis of large myopic shifts causing severe visual impairment and complications. Seventy-four children with high myopia (≥6 diopters [D]; study group) and 77 emmetropic children (±0.5D; control group) were included. Genetic and polymorphism analyses were performed in the Medical Genetics Laboratory using DNA purified from the patients' blood samples.
A Study to Evaluate the Product Feasibility of a New Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens
MyopiaThe objective of this study is to determine the clinical feasibility and to evaluate the product performance of investigational contact lenses developed by Bausch + Lomb.
PiXL as a Treatment for Low Grade Myopia
MyopiaRefractive ErrorsTo assess the improvement in myopia with phototherapeutic intrastromal corneal collagen cross-linking (PiXL) without epithelial debridement (epi-on) in high oxygen environment for low grade myopia. The study compares two 3.5-mm central ring-shaped zone protocols; 10 min illumination time vs 16:40 min illumination time.
Trial of a Novel Family-Based Intervention to Increase Outdoor Time and Fitness
MyopiaObesityThis study aims to implement a new family-based health behavior community program to increase time spent outdoors and physical activity among Singapore children aged 6 to 12 years in a 1-year randomized clinical trial. 300 children from 250 families will be randomly assigned to either a family-based intervention or no intervention. The family-based intervention comprises structured weekend outdoor activities organized by National Parks and incentives for children to wear a pedometer and increase their daily steps. Families who meet their monthly step and outdoor activity goals will receive a range of prizes and incentives. Both groups will receive brochures on the National Myopia Prevention Program and physical activity. The success of the intervention will be evaluated through light meters, 7-day outdoor diaries, questionnaires documenting outdoor time and myopia; as well as pedometer steps, walking tests, and body mass index. A community-based intervention will be developed to improve the health of Singapore children by increasing outdoor time and physical activity to prevent myopia and obesity.
Vision Care Intervention for Lower Grade School Children in Taiwan
MyopiaOutdoor Activity1 moreThe purpose of this study is making use of school policy- recess outside classroom (ROC7-11) for increasing the time spent outdoor during recess and encouraging children spent time outdoor up to 11 hours in each week to investigate the vision change, myopia onset and progression in these schoolchildren.
An Evaluation of Outcomes Following Wavefront Optimized or Wavefront Guided Lasik Procedure in Low...
MyopiaTo compare post-surgical outcomes in patients who have undergone Wavefront Guided LASIK (iLASIK platform) compared with patients who have undergone Wavefront Optimized LASIK (Wavelight Allegretto 400 Hz platform).
