Study to Evaluate the Clinical Performance of SynergEyes A2 Hybrid Contact Lenses

August 24, 2010 updated by: SynergEyes, Inc.

A 180 Day, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Clinical Performance of SynergEyes A2 Hybrid Contact Lenses for Daily Wear Use in the Correction of Refractive Error With or Without Astigmatism in Non-diseased Eyes

This is a multicenter study to evaluate the clinical performance of the SynergEyes A2 lens in patients with refractive errors with or without astigmatism.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Hybrid contact lenses have been previously shown to be a safe and effective method to correct refractive errors with and without astigmatism. The hybrid contact lens design may provide greater visual acuity and comfort than other soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses currently available. The purpose of this study is to confirm the design of the SynergEyes A2 lens by evaluating clinical performance and, if necessary, modify certain lens parameters in order to optimize lens performance. Objective and subjective parameters will be used to evaluate the lens.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All
