About this study

Our study has three parts has three parts, and the main aim of the study is to find out if corneal hysteresis was associated with myopia or even a predictor of myopia poor control predictor:

  • Part 1 of our study: patients with anisomeropia whose spherical equivalent refraction as measured by cycloplegic autorefraction between the two eyes differ greater than 1.5 D.
  • Part 2 of our study: Minus spherical equivalent refraction as measured by cycloplegic autorefraction.
  • Part 3 of our study: patients with minus spherical equivalent refraction as measured by cycloplegic autorefraction who are under regular atropine for the treatment of myopia;patients who are prescribed with atropine treatment are in need of myopia control instead of for research interest

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopia and Anisometropia, run by Far Eastern Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 15 Apr 2008. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shu-Wen Chang, MD (886-8966-7000 ext. 2601, swchang@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

axial length, corneal hysteresis (time frame: 3 month). 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 15 Apr 2008.
