Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the performance of a photorefraction screener in terms of sensibility, sensitivity and accuracy on children aged 3 to 8 y.o. The main objectives of the study are:

  • Evaluate the performances of the device in comparison with the gold standard, i.e. a tabletop refractometer.
  • Assess the agreement of the measures obtained with the device with those obtained with the gold standard.

Description

Participants after verification of their eligibility and informed consent, participate to a single evaluation visit during which several objective refraction measurements are performed with the investigational device, a tabletop refractometer and a comparable vision screener with and without cyclopegia. Additionally far vision visual acuity, strabismus assessments and subjective refraction measurement are also performed by investigators.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged between 3-8 years when included in the study
  • All skin phototypes (I to VI according to the Fitzpatrick classification)
  • Wearing glasses or not
  • Capacity to give valid consent
  • Capacity to follow the protocol to obtain reliable measure
  • Under French medical insurance

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Under myopia control solution that may have an impact on refractive error (such as: atropine, orthokeratology,..)
  • Wearing contact lenses
  • Ocular or systemic pathology that may have an impact on vision or may interfere with the study measures (except strabismus)
  • Under medication that may have an impact on vision or may interfere with study measurements
  • Known contraindication to the active substance or to one of the excipients of eye drops (Mydriaticum 0.5%, Skiacol 0.5%)
  • Known risk of angle-closure glaucoma
  • Participation to another study that may have an impact on vision or may interfere with the study measures

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
