About this study

Official title: Reproducibility and Comparison of Digital Wavefront Sensing With Conventional Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensing: an Explorative Study

A holographic optical coherence tomography (H-OCT) setup is used to detect the wavefront by means of phase reconstruction.

Read the detailed description

H-OCT will be tested in this study for its suitability for the qualitative investigation of aberrometry. We aim to achieve a digital equivalent for wavefront calculation of the widespread analog procedure commonly used with conventional wavefront-aberrometers. The results will be compared with those from a conventional analog wavefront calculation method.

In the course of this pilot study, 20 eyes of phakic and 10 eyes of pseudophakic subjects with suspected higher order aberrations will be examined using H-OCT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Holographic optical coherence tomography in people with Wavefront Aberration, Corneal and Refractive Errors, run by Medical University of Vienna.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 22 Oct 2020. 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 Doreen Schmidl, MD, PhD (40400 ext. 1988, klin-pharmakologie@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Qualitative description of lower order aberrations (LOA) (time frame: 14 +/- 3 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04597255, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Oct 2020.
