What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pediatric Vision ScannerDevice
Subject is scanned with a 2.5 second pediatric vision scanner device test.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Controls | Structurally normal eye with equal visual acuity and normal stereopsis. Receives: Device: Pediatric Vision Scanner | |
| Referral required | Diagnosed with amblyopia or constant strabismus, categorized based on the GSE.
Amblyopia:
* VA <20/40 and 2 logMAR lines difference in normal eye
* Mild amblyopia (>20/40)
* Moderate amblyopia (20/40 and <20/100)
* Severe amblyopia (≥20/100 or worse)
* Bilateral amblyopia: >4 years age VA<20/40 OU including high hyperopia or high astigmatism.
Strabismus:
* Constant: >2 PD at near and or distance.
* Intermittent: strabismus that could be controlled intermittently either through fusional mechanisms or a compensatory head position.
Amblyogenic factor categorization:
* 'Anisometropia'- (1.5 Diopters (D) or more difference in refractive error between the two eyes.
* 'hypermetropia' (≥3.5 D),
* 'myopia' (≥-4.0 D),
* 'astigmatism' (≥1.5 D).
* 'structural abnormalities' of the eye will not be excluded, but will be considered to have vision loss if visual acuity is 20/40 or worse. Receives: Device: Pediatric Vision Scanner | |
| Borderline | (no long-term harm to patient if referral is delayed, however the patient does have conditions that might benefit from monitoring): Equal visual acuity and no structural abnormality with any of the following: Amblyogenic factor, intermittent strabismus, structural abnormalities, refractive error, reduced stereopsis. Receives: Device: Pediatric Vision Scanner |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Amblyopia and Strabismus, run by Rebiscan, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Binocularity score (time frame: Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01726842, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Oct 2015.
