15 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is designed to compare the effect of Voxx/eSmartr technology on common measures of sports vision performance including (Hand-Eye Coordination/Reaction time, visual concentration and basic visual functions of size detection and contrast sensitivity). The study will be a randomized, prospective, double-blind design in order to determine the effect of this technology on a subject's sports vision ability.
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.
Post-concussive vision symptoms affect many Veterans who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). One common issue is trouble with near vision, a problem that may persist long after the acute injury. Double vision or difficulty focusing on close objects can affect reading and depth perception. Poor reading can interfere with academic or work performance, and loss of near focusing can affect jobs that require fine motor tasks like machining and electrical work. Even having trouble using a smartphone can have a substantial impact on both work and social function. Near vision impairment after TBI is not well understood, and treatments are limited. The goal of this project is to investigate novel virtual-reality assessments and training games to improve the near vision diagnosis and home-based rehabilitation. Restoring normal near vision function could have a large impact on the fulfillment of Veterans' educational, career, and overall life goals.
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.
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).
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).
Patients with acute exacerbation of chronic headache disorder present frequently to the Emergency Department (ED) for pain management. A novel etiology of headaches is Vertical Heterophoria (VH), a poorly understood and little recognized binocular vision malady that when treated with realigning prismatic spectacle lenses results in marked reduction in headache and other associated VH symptoms. This study aims to determine the accuracy of the Vertical Heterophoria Symptom Questionnaire (VHSQ) in identifying a ED headache patients who will experience significant reduction in VH symptoms with use of realigning prismatic spectacle lenses. This study's secondary purpose is to determine if VH is a common cause of chronic headache disorders in ED headache patients. To achieve these goals, a prospective observational study will be performed on ED headache patients \> 18 years old. All will be given the VHSQ, and all will be assessed for a diagnosis of VH by an optometrist who will utilize a novel VH testing method. High and low score groups on the VHSQ will then be compared to each other to determine the prevalence of VH in each.
In this research study we want to test how people understand a visual scene when the same image is presented to both the eyes, but portions of these images are altered in terms of contrast, depth or in some cases motion.
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.
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.
The objective of this investigator initiated study (IIT-001) is to obtain data on clinical methods which can be used during the examination of patients desiring binocular custom vision with the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL). An analysis of the collected data will be performed to determine whether these clinical assessments can be used by doctors to enhance their patient's clinical outcome.
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.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an investigational binocular treatment in improving vision in strabismic amblyopes (i.e., patients with lazy eye, or poor vision in one eye due to a present or former eye misalignment). Patients will be randomized to receive the study treatment either before or after strabismus surgery (i.e., corrective eye alignment surgery) or sham treatment before surgery. The study hypothesis is that there will be no significant change in vision in neither the pre nor post-surgery groups and no significant change in vision in neither the sham nor actual treatment groups.
The purpose of this study is to assess uniocular and binocular unaided distance, intermediate, and near VA; contrast sensitivity, accommodation amplitude, stereopsis, glare testing, ocular aberrations and the clinical satisfaction assessment after bilateral implant of the Restor IOL.
This was a randomized, masked, controlled study of the effect of a virtual reality, binocular, 3-dimensional video game on visual acuity and stereopsis in adult patients with amblyopia. The trial has been halted as of June 2016 and will not be evaluating any new subjects for enrollment.
