Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 45 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • emmetropic or hyperopic eyes with a spherical error of maximum +1.75D and astigmatism of ≤ 0.5D.
  • Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) had to be better than 0.1 logMAR (20/25) and at the same time contrast sensitivity (CS) could not be less than 1.9 logCS. -Uncorrected near visual acuity was required to be worse than 0.4 logMAR (20/50), as a proof of presbyopia.

  • clinically active inflammation.

About this study

Official title: The Light Sword Lens - a Novel Method of Presbyopia Compensation: a Pilot Clinical Study

Clinical assessment of a new optical element for presbyopia compensation - the Light Sword Lens.

Read the detailed description

Healthy dominant eyes of presbyopes were examined for visual performance. The examination was performed in the ophthalmic trial frame, which included assessment of 3 trials: reference (with lens for distance correction); stenopeic (distance correction with a pinhole ϕ=1,25 mm) and Light Sword Lens (distance correction with a Light Sword Lens). In each trial, visual acuity was assessed in 7 tasks for defocus from 0.2D to 3.0D while contrast sensitivity in 2 tasks for defocus 0.3D and 2.5D.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Acuity based on The Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study protocol

    Examination for visual performance in 3 trials: reference (with lens for distance correction); stenopeic (distance correction with a pinhole ϕ=1,25 mm) and Light Sword Lens (distance correction with a Light Sword Lens). In each trial, visual acuity assessment in 7 tasks for defocus from 0.2D to 3.0D.

    The degree of homogeneity through defocus was determined. Reference and stenopeic trials were compared to Light Sword Lens results.

    Statistical analysis: Friedman analysis of variance, Nemenyi post-hoc, Wilcoxon tests , p-value < 0.05 is considered significant.

    Measured: day one

  2. Contrast sensitivity based on Pelli-Robson method

    Contrast sensitivity assessment in 2 tasks for defocus 0.3D and 2.5D The degree of homogeneity through defocus was determined. Reference and stenopeic trials were compared to Light Sword Lens results.

    Statistical analysis: Friedman analysis of variance, Nemenyi post-hoc, Wilcoxon tests , p-value < 0.05 is considered significant.

    Measured: day one

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Visual Acuity Examination with a novel lens in people with Presbyopia, run by Military Institute od Medicine National Research Institute.

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 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 23 Oct 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?

Visual Acuity based on The Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study protocol (time frame: day one). The study lists 2 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 NCT03716271, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Oct 2018.
