About this study

Official title: the Comparison of Multifocal Contact Lenses and Bifocal Spectacles for Congenital Cataracts

In this study, the investigators provide participants who had congenital cataract the multifocal contact lenses and bifocal spectacles in the purpose of seeking out a better way to make a definite diagnosis with high efficiency and accuracy, and report a prospective, randomized controlled study aiming at comparison of multifocal contact lenses and bifocal spectacles.

Read the detailed description

Children diagnosed as cataract without treatment were enrolled to a prospective, randomized controlled study. Patients were assigned to four groups: participants in group A wearing multifocal contact lenses a week and then bifocal spectacles a week;in Group B, the participants wearing bifocal spectacles a week and then multifocal contact lenses;in Group C, the participants wearing multifocal contact lenses four a year;in Group D, the participants wearing bifocal spectacles four a year. Investigators compare the acuity, refraction, contrast sensitivity and the results of questionnaire between A and B , C and D groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Demography (age, sex, laterality and medical history)

    The demography of cataract and healthy children were recorded by using a semi-structured questionnaire.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The refraction status (presented as spherical equivalent, SE)

    Refractions were conducted with objective retinoscopy and cycloplegia, and performed by experienced optometrists

    Measured: after wearing contact lenses one month, three months ,six months and a year

  2. acuity

    Measured: after wearing contact lenses one month, three months ,six months and a year

  3. contrast sensitivity

    Measured: after wearing contact lenses one month, three months ,six months and a year

  4. questionnaire result

    the feel of wearing during different daily activities

    Measured: after wearing contact lenses one month, three months ,six months and a year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing short term Multifocal Contact Lenses, short term Bifocal Spectacles and long term Multifocal Contact Lenses in people with Multifocal Contact Lenses, run by 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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
