About this study

Official title: The Variation of the Intraocular Pressure Measured by Different Tonometers in Patients With Clinical Corneal Edema

The investigators conduct this study to access the effect of corneal edema (the investigators are particularly interested in those who have the clinical central corneal edema) on the variation of intraocular pressure values measured by 3 commercial-available tonometers compare to the current gold standard tonometer; Goldmann applanation tonometer.

Read the detailed description

Previous published articles reported on the effect of corneal edema on the accuracy of tonometry were performed in enucleated cadaver eyes, or contact lens-induced corneal edema eyes. Thus, it remains unclear as to how the clinical corneal edema that is found in routine clinical practice will affect the variation of intraocular pressure measurement using the standard Goldmann applanation tonometer and other more modern tonometers such as the dynamic contour tonometer, the iCare, and the Tonopen.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intraocular pressure

    The intraocular pressure measured by each tonometer compare with Goldmann applanation tonometer (When measure in eyes with corneal edema and when the edema is clinically resolve)

    Measured: A day after cataract surgery and when the corneal edema is resolve (usually within 1-2 weeks post operatively)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Relationship between the central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure measured by each tonometer

    The severity of corneal edema may affect the reliability of intraocular pressure measurement measured by different tonometers

    Measured: A day after surgery (clinical corneal edema was detected) and within 1-2 weeks (resolution of edema)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intraocular Pressure and Corneal Edema, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 17 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 6 Nov 2017. 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 Thailand. 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?

Intraocular pressure (time frame: A day after cataract surgery and when the corneal edema is resolve (usually within 1-2 weeks post operatively)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Nov 2017.
