About this study

Official title: Quality of Life in Presbyopes Using Single-vision Lens and Progressive Lens Correction: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the quality of life (QOL) of presbyopes wearing progressive addition lenses (PALs) with that of those wearing single-vision spectacles (SVSs) for near correction. The main questions it aims to answer is:

What is the difference in QOL between presbyopes who use SVSs and those who use PALs ? Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the PALs group or the SVSs group.Participants in the progressive lenses intervention group will receive 1-month progressive lens correction in daily life. And participants in single-vision lenses intervention group will use near-vision spectacles during near work and use their original habitual distant glasses for distance tasks for 1 month.

The study will compare the QOL scores measured by a 12-item Near Vision-Related Quality of Life questionnaire between the two groups. Additionally, the study will compare the scores measured by the Refractive Status and Vision Profile questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire between the two groups as well as assess the change in the above three questionnaires scores at 1 month following enrollment. And visual acuity of subjects will also be assessed at baseline and at the 1-month follow-up.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 1 month

  2. Visual acuity

    Near and distance best-corrected visual acuity.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Progressive lenses intervention and Single-vision lenses intervention in people with Presbyopia and Presbyopia Correction, run by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

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 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2024. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Mingguang He (85234002795, mingguang.he@polyu.edu.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

quality of life score (time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 1 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 21 Nov 2024.
