Trial Review

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
5 Commercially available contact lenses (AIR OPTIX [Trade mark] Aqua, AIR OPTIX [Trade mark] Aqua Multifocal, NIGHT & DAY [Registered trade mark], ACUVUE 2 [Trade mark], Avaira [Trade mark])and 1 novel optical design silicone hydrogel contact lens have been chosen as test products to examine the effect of modulus and lens design on corneal topography after 1 week of wear. The novel optical design is manufactured from the same material as AIR OPTIX [trademark] Aqua and has a different optical power distribution in the lens periphery. Contact lenses are suitable to be worn for 2 weeks, however, the 6 types of contact lenses will each be worn on a daily basis for approximately 1 week. Contact lens designs will be dispensed contralaterally by randomisation. Between each change of contact lens design contact lenses may not be worn for 1 calendar day, "1 day washout period", prior to each dispensing visit.

Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
The control will be the corneal topographical map captured prior to each lens dispense after 1 calendar day of no contact lens wear.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258765 0
To determine the effect of contact lenses on corneal topography in a myopic population after 8 hours and 1 week of contact lens (CL) wear.
Timepoint [1] 258765 0
Baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks of contact lens wear
Secondary outcome [1] 264824 0
1) To determine the effect on peripheral refraction profiles during contact lens wear with the use of a modified Shin Nippon N-Vision K5001 Autorefractor.
2) To determine axial length after 1 week of CL wear in a small myopic population as determined by an IOL Master optical biometer.
Timepoint [1] 264824 0
Baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks of contact lens wear

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- be able to read and comprehend English and give informed consent as demonstrated by signing a record of informed consent. If participant is a child or adolescent, a parent or legal guardian must be able to provide this consent,
- be between the ages of 18 and 45 years old inclusive
- be myopic (short sighted) -0.75D to -4.25D with astigmatism no more than -1.00 D
- be willing to comply with the wearing and clinical trial visit schedule as directed by the investigator;
- have ocular health findings considered to be “normal” and which would not prevent the participant from safely wearing contact lenses;
- have vision correctable to at least 6/12 (20/40) or better in each eye with contact lenses.
- be experienced wearing contact lenses
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
45 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
- Pre-existing ocular irritation that would preclude contact lens fitting;
- Strabismus or amblyopia;
- Any ocular condition that may preclude safe wearing of contact lenses (e.g. active corneal infection, severe dry eye, reduced corneal sensitivity, exophthalmos/lagophthalmos, facial nerve palsy);
- Active corneal infection (bacterial, viral, fungal or protozoan) or any active ocular disease such as iritis, corneal oedema or corneal dystrophies, including anterior membrane dystrophy that would affect wearing of contact lenses;
- Any systemic disease that may adversely affect ocular health e.g. diabetes, Graves disease, and auto-immune diseases such as ankolysing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, Sjögrens syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosis. Conditions such as systemic hypertension and arthritis do not automatically exclude prospective participants;
- Eye surgery within 12 weeks immediately prior to enrolment for this trial;
- Previous corneal refractive surgery;
- Any ocular injury or condition (including keratoconus and herpes keratitis) of the cornea, conjunctiva or eyelids that would affect the wearing of contact lenses;
- Contraindications to hydrogel contact lens wear;
- Worn orthokeratology lenses within the past 3 months;
- Currently enrolled in another clinical trial;
- Pregnancy (verbal report from participant will suffice).
