Overview

The CA-800 Corneal Analyzer (Visia Imaging S.R.L., Italy) is a device that can measure small imperfections in the tear film when the eyes are open. The goal of this study is to see if the device can detect changes in the tear film after instillation of an eye drop or when contact lenses are worn.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Are at least 17 years of age and have full legal capacity to volunteer.
  2. Have signed the information consent letter.
  3. Are willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule.
  4. Habitually wear spherical soft contact lenses (no multifocal lens, no toric lens wear or extended (overnight) wear).
  5. Have a vertex-corrected refractive astigmatism of no more than 0.75D in each eye.
  6. Achieve a best corrected visual acuity of 0.00 logMAR or better in each eye.
  7. Agree to wear the study contact lenses for at least 6 hours.
  8. Have clear corneas (e.g. no central scars).
  9. Have no active ocular disease or inflammation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Are participating in another concurrent clinical research study.
  2. Have worn any rigid contact lenses in the past 30 days.
  3. Have been diagnosed with irregular cornea (e.g., keratoconus, etc.).
  4. Have any known active ocular condition, disease, and/or infection.\*
  5. Have a systemic or ocular condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect a study outcome variable.
  6. Have a known sensitivity to the diagnostic sodium fluorescein to be used in the study.
  7. Have undergone refractive error surgery.
  8. Are a member of the study team for this study, i.e. are listed on the delegation log for this study.

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?
