About this study

Official title: How Does the visuALL Field Analyzer (vFA) Compare to Standard Automatic Perimetry (SAP) in Patients With Mild and Moderate Chronic Open Angle Glaucoma (COAG) and Subjects Without Eye Problems?

To determine age-adjusted reference values of the visuALL Field Analyzer (vFA) retinal sensitivity and to assess the repeatability of the measured values and compare them with those measured by a Standard Automatic Perimetry (SAP).

Read the detailed description

Standard Automatic Perimetry (SAP) is the gold standard test for the evaluation of central and peripheral retinal sensitivity to light for detection and monitoring optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma. The current device has its own limitation such as positioning for the duration of the test which makes is hard for older patients especially those with back or other musculoskeletal diseases, artifact of the corrective lenses used to accommodate the patients refractive errors, etc.

Several devices have been developed since the advent of the Octopus Perimeter 3-5 and the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA), in an effort to improve the test reliability and patient comfort.

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the repeatability of a novel psychophysical platform that takes advantage of a Head Mounted Device (HMD) with eye tracking capabilities. Other objectives of this study include the development of an initial reference database and comparison of the measured parameters with HFA.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy ControlsExperimentalHealthy subjects between 21 and 80 years of age with no eye diseases (normal appearing optic nerve and retina, intraocular eye pressure less than 19 millimeters of mercury, normal and reliable standard automatic perimetry, and spherical refraction less than 3 diopters and cylinder correction equal to 2 diopters or less.

Mild and Moderate GlaucomaExperimentalSubjects between 21 and 80 years of age with Mild or Moderate Glaucoma. Eyes will have a reliable standard automatic perimetry with no more than -6 mean deviation (Mild) and between -6 mean and -12 mean deviation (Moderate). Spherical refraction will be less than 3 diopters and cylinder correction equal to 2 diopters or less. All subjects will perform Standard Automatic Perimetry Humphrey Field Analyzer and visuALL Field Analyzer to measure peripheral and central visual field.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Retinal Sensitivity From Two Machines

    Mean (Average) retinal sensitivity to light as measured in decibels in multiple spots across the central and peripheral retina (entire visual field). Higher numbers translate to dimmer light which when detected means better vision.

    Measured: three hours

  2. Global Correlation (Agreement Between Two Machines in the Overall Visual Field)

    Correlation (Agreement) between Humphrey Visual Field and VisuALL retinal sensitivity as measured by mean deviation (light measurement in decibels) in multiple spots across the central and peripheral retina (entire visual field). This is the amount of agreement of the measure threshold, which is the lowest level of light detected in different points across the visual field (overall), between two testing machines.

    Measured: three hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Inferior Nasal Quadrant Correlation (Agreement Between Two Machines in the Inferior Nasal Visual Field)

    Correlation (Agreement) between Humphrey Visual Field and VisuALL retinal sensitivity as measured by mean deviation (light measurement in decibels) in multiple spots across the inferior nasal visual field. This is the amount of agreement of the measure threshold, which is the lowest level of light detected in different points across the inferior (lower) nasal portion of the visual field, between two testing machines.

    Measured: three hours

  2. Superior Hemifield Correlation (Agreement Between Two Machines in the Superior Hemifield Visual Field

    Correlation (Agreement) between Humphrey Visual Field and VisuALL retinal sensitivity as measured by mean deviation (light measurement in decibels) in multiple spots across the superior (upper) hemifield portion of the visual field. This is the amount of agreement of the measure threshold, which is the lowest level of light detected in different points across the visual field in the superior hemifield, between two testing machines.

    Measured: three hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard Automatic Perimetry Humphrey Field Analyzer and visuALL Field Analyzer in people with Glaucoma, Open-Angle, run by Wills Eye 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 29 Jun 2022. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Retinal Sensitivity From Two Machines (time frame: three hours). 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 NCT03804684, 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?
