About this study

Official title: The Effect of +3.00ADD on Myopia Progression in Chinese Children: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of +3.00ADD vs single vision spectacle on the progression of myopia in children. Many studies applying bifocals or multifocal spectacles to intervene the progression have been carried out based on the idea that myopia was caused by excessive accommodation, however, the effect was limited. The possible reason is that bifocal or multifocal spectacles still not fully adjust the accommodative error in myopia children.

Read the detailed description

The optical intervention has been extensively explored for the intervention of myopia progression.

Based on the theory that myopia was caused by the excessive accommodative, bifocal or multifocal spectacles for slowing the progression of myopia have been fully studied. Although some studies' results showed statistically significant for slowing myopia progression with multifocal spectacles, few had clinically meaningful, even in children with high accommodative lag or near-point esophoria. The investigators think that the possible reason for this clinical un-meaningful maybe that daily wearing bifocal or multifocal spectacles still not fully adjust the accommodative error in children.

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate myopic progression in children using two spectacles (single-vision spectacles for distant vision, and +3.00ADD spectacle for near vision), compared with control subjects wearing one spectacles (single-vision spectacles). Myopia progression quantified by changes in axial length (AL) and cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction will be monitored for 3 years. The spectacles for intervention group children will be adjusted based on the cycloplegic spherical equivalent and the extent of accommodation lag for schedule time.

What is being measured

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

  1. spherical equivalent refraction (SER) change

    SE was measured by autorefractometer with cycloplegic once a year at scheduled time

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. axial length

    Axial length is measured by IOMaster once a year at scheduled time

    Measured: 3 years

  2. corneal curvature

    Corneal curvature is measured by IOMaster once a year at scheduled time

    Measured: 3 years

  3. binocular vision

    the binocular vision was measured by an ophthalmologist every six month at scheduled time.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing two spectacles and single vision spectacles in people with Myopia, run by Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 5 Sep 2018. 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 China. 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 Yuting LI, Master (+86-020-87334687, ytdorothy@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

spherical equivalent refraction (SER) change (time frame: 3 years). 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 5 Sep 2018.
