What is being measured

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

  1. Distant visual acuity (logMAR)

    Distant visual acuity were measured using Snellen chart (Precision Vision, La Salle, IL, USA) at 4 m.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  2. Photopic pupil size (baseline, mm)

    Pupil size under photopic conditions (85 cd/m2) was measured using a WASCA Analyzer (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany).

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  3. Depth of focus

    Monocular DOF was checked with a 4-m Snellen chart under distance correction without cycloplegics.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  4. Accommodative amplitude (Diopter)

    Near point of accommodation (NPA) was measured using Donder's push-up method.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  5. Standard automated perimetry

    Visual field (VF) test was performed with a Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA, USA) using the 30-2 Swedish interactive threshold algorithm.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  6. Contrast sensitivity

    Monocular contrast sensitivity test was performed using a CSV-1000E Contrast Testing Instrument (VectorVision, Dayton, OH, USA) at 2.5-m distance under standard brightness (85 cd/m2)

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  7. Stereopsis (seconds of arc)

    Stereopsis was checked with the Randot Stereotest (Stereo Optical Co., Chicago, IL, USA).

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  8. Reading speed (letters per second)

    Reading speed was evaluated using the famous Korean traditional fairy tale book. This Korean book was printed black-and-white with 10-font size. The time taken to read designated 10 pages including 3985 letters was recorded, and then reading speed was calculated as letters per second (LPS).

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  9. Near visual acuity (logMAR)

    Near visual acuity using Logarithmic Visual Acuity Chart 2000 (Precision Vision, La Salle, IL, USA) at 40 cm.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

  10. Pupil size with the both pinhole glasses (mm)

    Pupil size with the both pinhole glasses using the ruler attached to the lateral rim of the glasses.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Trayner Pinhole Glasses (Trayner Glasses, Ivybridge Devon, U.K.) in people with Functional Vision Changes, run by Chung-Ang University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact WonSoo Kim, MD (+82-2-6299-1666, onewat5@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Distant visual acuity (logMAR) (time frame: Subjects performed this examination while wearing multiple and single pinhole glasses with one week apart in random order after baseline study.). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02572544, 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 9 Oct 2015.
