Trial summary

The study aims to examine how the vascular layer of the eyeball (choroidal layer) responds when part of the visual field is exposed to specially generated visual stimulus. The study goal will be accomplished by producing specific blur visual stimulus at a particular visual field position and measure any consistent… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Peripheral Choroidal Response to Pure Defocus and Oriented Blur Conditions

The study aims to examine how the vascular layer of the eyeball (choroidal layer) responds when part of the visual field is exposed to specially generated visual stimulus. The study goal will be accomplished by producing specific blur visual stimulus at a particular visual field position and measure any consistent thickness change pattern in the choroidal layer.

We propose to test the hypothesis that regional changes in the choroidal thickness may be induced differently after short-term exposure to specific visual stimuli.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • adaptive optics systemDevice

    the system consists of a wavefront sensor and a deformable mirror that measure and correct (or modify) the eye's optical imperfections (aberrations).

Study groups in NCT05132140
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
normal healthy groupExperimentalAdaptive optics system: this system controls the optical quality of the eye at the peripheral visual field temporarily.
Receives: Device: adaptive optics system

What is being measured

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

  1. choroidal thickness

    A commercially available optical coherence tomography system will be used to measure changes in choroidal layer thickness before and after manipulating the peripheral optics.

    Measured: up to 60 mins

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing adaptive optics system in people with Myopia, run by University of Houston.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Geunyoung Yoon, PhD (7137437860, gyoon2@central.uh.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

choroidal thickness (time frame: up to 60 mins). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Nov 2021.
