Evaluation of ocular health and comfort in non spectacle wearer and non contact lens wearers (emmetropes) for three months

Prospective, single group clinical trial where a minimum of 40 participants (non spectacle and non contact lens wearers) will be assessed for a total of three months, for ocular surface characteristics and subjective responses such as comfort

Observational

Conditions

Summary

The results from this study will allow for further understanding of the ocular surface response and subjective comfort responses of the emmetropic population. The insight into the subjective comfort responses of this population can further enhance knowledge in the subjective comfort responses of the spectacle and contact lens wearing populations. The hypothesis of this study is that there will be no difference in ocular health and comfort in emmetropes over the course of three months.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how the eye health and comfort of people who do not need any vision correction (called emmetropes) changes over three months. These participants do not wear glasses or contact lenses. By studying this group, researchers hope to better understand eye comfort across different populations. Participants will attend a few check-up visits where their eyes will be examined. You may be eligible if: - You are 18 years of age or older - You do not need glasses or contact lenses (your eye prescription is between +0.50 and -0.50 diopters) - Your eyes are in generally good health - You can read and understand English - You are willing to attend all study visits You may NOT be eligible if: - You have any current eye infection, injury, or condition of the cornea, eyelids, or conjunctiva - You have a systemic disease that affects eye health (e.g., diabetes, Graves disease, lupus) - You use prescription eye drops or medications that affect the eyes - You have had eye surgery in the last 12 weeks or previous corneal refractive surgery - You are currently pregnant - You are enrolled in another clinical trial Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

Interventions

Ocular health (by visual acuity measurements, autorefraction/subjective refraction, slitlamp examination of the anterior eye) and comfort (by subjective comfort questionnaires) of non spectacle and no

Ocular health (by visual acuity measurements, autorefraction/subjective refraction, slitlamp examination of the anterior eye) and comfort (by subjective comfort questionnaires) of non spectacle and non contact lens wearers are assessed at the baseline, 2 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after the baseline over the course of the trial. The number of recruited participants may change to ensure the drop out number does not reduce the sample size to a level below what is required for the demonstration of statistical power and significance.
