Trial summary

Purpose: Numerous studies have proven that emmetropization in young animals including humans is regulated by visual input. It has long been hypothesized that peripheral myopic defocus may act as a stop signal to reduce myopia progression and axial elongation. Read more about this study

About this study

Purpose: Numerous studies have proven that emmetropization in young animals including humans is regulated by visual input. It has long been hypothesized that peripheral myopic defocus may act as a stop signal to reduce myopia progression and axial elongation. As such, multifocal soft contact lenses (MFCLs) have been utilized for myopia control in school-aged children, with variable efficacies. One potential explanation is that the actual peripheral myopic defocus an eye experiences during MFCL wear may not be identical to the Add power and not sufficient to reduce myopia progression. Our study investigated and compared the peripheral power profiles of myopic eyes when they were uncorrected and wore single vision contact lenses (SVCLs) and MFCLs of different Add powers.

Methods: Subjects with -1.00 D to -10.00 D of myopia (SE, determined with manifest refraction) were custom fit with both single vision (SV) and MFCLs (+2.00 and +4.00 D Add; provided by Specialeyes) in both eyes. These Specialeyes MFCLs had an aspheric design with a standard total optical zone of 8.0mm. Cycloplegic central autorefraction was conducted with both Grand Seiko WAM-5500 open-field auto-refractor (Grand Seiko Co Ltd) and OPD OPD-Scan III Wavefront Aberrometer (Marco) on the subjects in the following conditions: (1) no CLs, (2) SVCLs, (3) MFCLs (+2.00D Add), and (4) MFCLs (+4.00D Add). Relative peripheral power profiles were measured using the OPD under the same 4 conditions after cycloplegia. Data in the right eye was used for analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopia and Refractive Errors, run by State University of New York College of Optometry 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 5 inclusion and 1 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 28 Mar 2024. 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?

refractive power (time frame: Relative pupil limited optical power profile was measured once within one month from their first visit when the subjects were uncorrected or wearing contact lenses of various designs). 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 28 Mar 2024.
