TERMINATED
Neurolens Convergence Insufficiency Study
Description

To understand the benefits of the neurolens Measurement Device and neurolens treatment as it pertains to treating symptoms related to Convergence Insufficiency. It is a Prospective randomized double masked two arm performed on a minimum of 100 to a maximum of 150 subjects identified as symptomatic (CISS questionnaire score equal to or greater than 16) done across 3-10 clinical sites. There are two subgroups: a minimum of 50 in each subgroup(subgroup 1: pre-presbyopic (18-40 years); subgroup 2: presbyopic subjects(41-60 years).

COMPLETED
Neurolens Headache Study
Description

To understand the benefits of the neurolens Measurement Device and neurolens treatment as it pertains to treating symptoms related to Chronic Headaches. It is a Prospective randomized double masked two arm performed on a minimum of 200 to a maximum of 300 subjects identified as symptomatic (HIT-6 questionnaire score equal to or greater than 56) done across 3-15 clinical sites. There are two subgroups: a minimum of 100 in each subgroup (subgroup 1: pre-presbyopic (18-40 years); subgroup 2: presbyopic subjects (41-60 years).

COMPLETED
Binocular Vision Anomalies After Cataract and Refractive Surgery
Description

There are indications in the literature that binocular vision disorders may occur after cataract and corneal refractive surgery. It is not clear whether these problems are new or represent decompensation of previously existing conditions. However, the following significant study limitations exist in the current literature: 1) lack of attention to non-strabismic binocular vision disorders, 2) incomplete binocular vision assessment, 3) a validated symptom survey was not used, 4) diplopia was typically the only symptom studied, 5) retrospective study design, and 6) in the few prospective studies the sample sizes were small. Given the limitations in the current literature there is a need for further study of the prevalence and significance of binocular vision problems after cataract surgery and binocular vision and accommodative problems after corneal refractive surgery. This study aims to determine whether there is an increase in the prevalence of binocular vision problems after cataract surgery and accommodative and binocular vision disorders after refractive surgery.

COMPLETED
A Patch Free Treatment for Young Children With Amblyopia
Description

The purpose of this study is to test whether a binocular treatment can improve vision and motor function in young children with amblyopia. The proposed treatment is an animation series that has been modified so that different characters in the animation are presented to each eye. The contrast of the images shown to the amblyopic eye is higher than the contrast of the images shown to the fellow eye. The aim of the treatment is to promote co-operation between the two eyes and improve visual and motor outcomes. We will compare the benefits of this binocular treatment to patching, whereby the better eye is occluded with an eye patch for two hours per day to force the usage of the weaker eye. We hypothesize that the binocular treatment will improve vision and motor outcomes in young children with amblyopia, and that these improvements will be superior to any effects of patching.

UNKNOWN
Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial (CITT)
Description

The purposes of the CITT are: * To determine whether Home-based Pencil Push-up therapy, Home-based Pencil Push-ups with Computer Vision Therapy/Orthoptics or Office-based VT/Orthoptics more effective than placebo treatment, and whether there are differences between the three treatments in improving subject symptoms and signs. * To evaluate whether improvements in outcome measures are still present after one year of observation.

TERMINATED
Proof of Concept Study of Binocular Videogames Versus Patching for Amblyopia
Description

The purpose of this PoC study was to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of binocular video games played on a tablet and to compare the efficacy of binocular video games versus patching in amblyopic patients 4 to 7 years old (Part A) as well as to gain experience with binocular video games in older children population of 8 to12 years old (Part B). Part A and Part B was designed to provide long term data on durability of binocular video games treatment. The study consisted of two parts, Part A: randomized, single masked PoC study in children 4 to 7 years old at Screening, and Part B: open-label substudy in children 8 to 12 year old at Screening.

Effects of Prismatic Spectacle Lenses on Symptoms of Dizziness, Headache and Anxiety as Caused by Vertical Heterophoria
Description

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate whether, in patients diagnosed with Vertical Heterophoria, the symptoms of dizziness, headache and / or anxiety are reduced or eliminated when a kind of correction called vertical prism is added to the patient's normal eye glass prescription. The experiment will involve giving the patient two pairs of glasses (one pair containing the baseline prescription with vertical prism (Standard Treatment Glasses) and the other pair containing the baseline prescription but without vertical prism (Placebo Glasses)) to demonstrate which pair of glasses is most effective in reducing the symptoms of dizziness, headache and / or anxiety in these patients.
