  • Adult

Study population: Subjects who visited the department of ophthalmology in Chung-Ang university hospital for ocular examination

Who may be able to join

About this study

The investigators believe that this simple, clear, and objective study may be a great help in understanding the accommodative response during various accommodative stimulation conditions.

Read the detailed description

The purpose in this study was to investigate physiological changes in accommodative power, pupil diameter, astigmatic value, and axis when visual stimuli were applied under binocular, monocular (dominant eye, non-dominant eye, ipsilateral, and contralateral), and pinhole conditions using the WAM-5500 binocular autorefractor/keratometer (Grand Seiko Co. Ltd., Hiroshima, Japan).

  • the WAM-5500 binocular autorefractor/keratometer (Grand Seiko Co. Ltd., Hiroshima, Japan)Device

    : Subjects underwent a basic ophthalmic examination and the accommodative response to refractive stimuli was measured. Refractive stimuli were given at 0.25 diopters (D) (4 m distance), 2D (50 cm), 3D (33 cm), and 4D (25 cm) and stimulation was applied with the eyes in binocular, monocular (dominant eye, non-dominant eye, ipsilateral, and contralateral), and pinhole conditions. In addition, changes in the astigmatic value and direction of the astigmatism axis under binocular stimulus were evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accommodative power

    Accommodative powers in diopters were measured using WAM-5500 binocular autorefractor/keratometer

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while being under binocular, monocular, and pinhole conditions with one week apart in random order after baseline study

  2. Pupil diameter

    Pupil diameters in millimeters were measured using WAM-5500 binocular autorefractor/keratometer

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while being under binocular, monocular, and pinhole conditions with one week apart in random order after baseline study

  3. Astigmatic value and axis change

    Astigamtic value in diopters and axis change in degrees were measured using WAM-5500 binocular autorefractor/keratometer The spherical equivalent (sphere + 1/2 cylinder) was used to assess the response to refractive stimuli. The principal meridian of the cylinder for 0.25D refractive stimulus was set to the baseline axis. For 2D, 3D, and 4D refractive stimuli, vertical movement was determined when the baseline meridian moved to the 90' axis, and it was considered horizontal movement when it moved to the 0' or 180' axis.

    Measured: Subjects performed this examination while being under binocular, monocular, and pinhole conditions with one week apart in random order after baseline study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Accommodation, run by Chung-Ang University Hospital.

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 15 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Accommodative power (time frame: Subjects performed this examination while being under binocular, monocular, and pinhole conditions with one week apart in random order after baseline study). The study lists 3 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 NCT03557346, 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 15 Jun 2018.
