Cambridge Anti-Myopia Trial: Accommodation Training and Aberration Control in Myopia Development
Summary
We have identified focussing problems related to myopia getting worse. Our trial uses optical and orthoptic interventions that correct the focussing problems to see if this retards myopia progression.
Description
Myopia is a burgeoning health and social problem. Currently there is no acceptable clinical treatment that prevents progression. This study is a double masked placebo controlled block randomized clinical trial of two interventions, to treat accommodative factors we have identified as being significantly correlated to myopia progression (rather than to the presence of myopia). We have shown that the interventions normalise the accommodative factors, and this trial examines the effect of these interventions on myopia progression.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Aphakia
Absence of crystalline lens totally or partially from field of vision, from any cause except after cataract extraction. Aphakia is mainly congenital or as result of LENS DISLOCATION AND SUBLUXATION.
Contact Lens Solutions
Sterile solutions used to clean and disinfect contact lenses.
Scleroplasty
Plastic surgery of the SCLERA. This procedure is used frequently to prevent blindness and poor vision in patients, especially children, with MYOPIA.
Phakic Intraocular Lenses
Lenses, generally made of plastic or silicone, that are implanted into the eye in front of the natural EYE LENS, by the IRIS, to improve VISION, OCULAR. These intraocular lenses are used to supplement the natural lens instead of replacing it.
Lens Implantation, Intraocular
Insertion of an artificial lens to replace the natural CRYSTALLINE LENS after CATARACT EXTRACTION or to supplement the natural lens which is left in place.
Clinical Trials
Myopia Control With Simultaneous Vision Approach
The investigators hypothesize that the natural process of emmetropization in human is regulated by the equilibrium between the opposite hyperopic and myopic defocus. A sharp focus of retin...
The objective is to conduct a contralateral prospective clinical study to compare the safety, efficacy, and quality of vision of the STAAR Surgical Co. Toric Implantable Contact Lens TIC...
Dispensing Evaluation of a New Contact Lens and a Marketed Contact Lens
The purpose of this study is to compare visual acuity and redness of eyes between a new contact lens and an already marketed contact lens.
Dispensing Evaluation of a New Contact Lens
The purpose of this study is to compare lens characteristics and comfort between an experimental contact lens and a marketed contact lens.
Clinical Evaluation of the Long‑Term Effects of Contact Lens Care Systems
The purpose of this study is to compare two marketed contact lens care solutions in regards to comfort and ocular health.
