Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to use a corneal topographer, a device that is readily available in most optometric practices, in order to determine the position of the multifocal (MF) contact lens (CL) optics in relation to the optics of the eye. Read more about this study

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

Who may be able to join

  • A person is eligible for inclusion in the study if he/she:
  • Is at least 42 years of age and has full legal capacity to volunteer;
  • Has read and signed an information consent letter;
  • Is willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule;
  • Has previous experience with wearing MF CLs;
  • Is able to be successfully fitted with all study lenses;
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Has a vertex-corrected spherical distance prescription of +6.00 to 8.00D (inclusive) in both eyes;
  • Has a spectacle cylinder ≤0.75D in both eyes;
  • Requires a reading addition of ≥+1.00D;

Who cannot join

  • A person will be excluded from the study if he/she:
  • Is participating in any concurrent clinical or research study;
  • Has any known active* ocular disease and/or infection;
  • Has a systemic condition that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable;
  • Is using any systemic or topical medications that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable;
  • Has a known sensitivity to the diagnostic pharmaceuticals to be used in the study;
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Is pregnant, lactating or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrolment;
  • Is aphakic;
  • Has undergone refractive error surgery;
  • Has monocular best-corrected VA of worse than 20/30 in each eye;
  • Has amblyopia or strabismus;
  • Has anisometropia >2D between both eyes
  • For the purposes of this study, active ocular disease is defined as infection or inflammation which requires therapeutic treatment. Mild (i.e. not considered clinically relevant) lid abnormalities (blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, papillae), corneal and conjunctival staining and dry eye are not considered active ocular disease. Neovascularization and corneal scars are the result of previous hypoxia, infection or inflammation and are therefore not active.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to use a corneal topographer, a device that is readily available in most optometric practices, in order to determine the position of the multifocal (MF) contact lens (CL) optics in relation to the optics of the eye. The specific purpose of this study is to evaluate if there is a relationship between the positioning of the optics of the study lenses and the objective and subjective visual performance as well as participant satisfaction. The MF CL lenses will be fitted to two groups of participants (previously unsuccessful vs. currently successful MF CL wearers).

HYPOTHESES

  • The measurement of the power distribution acquired from the Medmont E300 corneal topographer is effective in determining MF CL lens centration and is a predictor of MF CL success.
  • There is a difference in MF CL centration, determined by corneal topography, between successful and unsuccessful MF CL wearers.
  • MF CL centration, determined by corneal topography, is correlated with visual performance, determined by ocular aberrometry, measures of visual acuity and subjective satisfaction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decentration

    Decentration (in mm and axis of decentration) of the multifocal contact lens optical center relative to ocular reference points (e.g. the pupil center or the line of sight), determined using difference maps produced by the Medmont E300 corneal topographer.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Visual Acuity (high contrast) at distance

    Visual Acuity (high contrast) (logMAR) at distance 6m

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Visual Acuity (high contrast) at intermediate distance

    Visual Acuity (high contrast) (logMAR) at intermediate distance 1m

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Visual Acuity (high contrast) at near

    Visual Acuity (high contrast) (logMAR) at near (0.4m)

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Visual Acuity (low contrast) at distance

    Visual Acuity (low contrast) at distance 6m

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Visual Acuity (low contrast) at intermediate distance

    Visual Acuity (low contrast) (logMAR) at intermediate distance 1m

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Visual Acuity (low contrast) at near

    Visual Acuity (low contrast) (logMAR) at near (0.4m)

    Measured: Day 1

  7. Overall subjective rating of lens performance in real world tasks

    Participants rate overall satisfaction with vision with the contact lenses on a scale of 0-100, where 0=completely dissatisfied and 100=completely satisfied, after completing a series of real world tasks.

    Measured: Day 1

  8. Ocular aberrometry

    Ocular aberrometry as measured by a LADARWave aberrometer

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia, PureVision2 for Presbyopia and Biofinity Multifocal in people with Presbyopia, run by University of Waterloo at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 13 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 May 2015. 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 Canada. 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?

Decentration (time frame: Day 1). 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 29 May 2015.
