About this study

This study will evaluate the influence of contact lens optical design on visual performance using standard and multifocal soft contact lenses (MFCLs).

Read the detailed description

The study will examine visual acuity with various contact lenses, with and without glare source, in myopes between the ages of 18-39 years old (inclusive) to determine the effect of different multifocal optical designs on visual performance in the post-fit period.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1All subjects will wear the 3 contact lenses: Single Vision, Multifocal 1 and Multifocal 2.
Receives: Device: Single Vision Contact Lens; Device: Multifocal Contact Lens 1; Device: Multifocal Contact Lens 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Low Contrast Visual Acuity with Glare

    Vision with contact lenses measured under low illumination conditions with glare source

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Low Contrast Visual Acuity without Glare

    Vision with contact lenses measured under low illumination conditions without glare source

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopia, run by University of Houston at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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 Oct 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 United States. 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?

Low Contrast Visual Acuity with Glare (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 hours). 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 NCT03705130, 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 Oct 2018.
