What participants receive

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

  • non-contact measurement of intraocular pressureDiagnostic test

    Non-contact measurement of corneal biomechanical properties and intraocular pressure with an Ocular Response Analyzer. Parameters measured: corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldman-correlated IOP (IOPg), corneal compensated IOP (IOPcc) and waveform score (WS).

What is being measured

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

  1. change of corneal compensated IOP (IOPcc)

    Intraocular pressure and corneal biomechanical properties were measured using an Ocular Response Analyzer.

    Measured: Parameter measured preoperatively and one day, one week, one month postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. change of corneal hysteresis (CH)

    Intraocular pressure and corneal biomechanical properties were measured using an Ocular Response Analyzer.

    Measured: Parameter measured preoperatively and one day, one week, one month postoperatively

  2. change of corneal resistance factor (CRF)

    Intraocular pressure and corneal biomechanical properties were measured using an Ocular Response Analyzer.

    Measured: Parameter measured preoperatively and one day, one week, one month postoperatively

  3. change of Goldman-correlated IOP (IOPg)

    Intraocular pressure and corneal biomechanical properties were measured using an Ocular Response Analyzer.

    Measured: Parameter measured preoperatively and one day, one week, one month postoperatively

  4. change of waveform score (WS)

    Intraocular pressure and corneal biomechanical properties were measured using an Ocular Response Analyzer.

    Measured: Parameter measured preoperatively and one day, one week, one month postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Corneal Astigmatism and Intraocular Pressure, run by Medical University of Lodz.

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 1 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 22 May 2017. 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?

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?

change of corneal compensated IOP (IOPcc) (time frame: Parameter measured preoperatively and one day, one week, one month postoperatively). 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 22 May 2017.
