Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

The long term objective of this study is to extend upon research demonstrating improvements in color vision deficiencies (CVDs) while wearing color-correcting lenses (CCLs) and after wearing CCLs. Recordings of brainwaves and eye-waves will be made to assess the retina, optic nerve and brain in order to localize where adaptive changes in the visual system are occurring in response to wearing CCLs.

Study Type

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

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

  • no reported history of eye, systemic or ocular disease
  • VA of 20/30 in each eye
  • hereditary color vision deficient (CVDs) verified by failing scores on the red-green anomaloscope (outside system normal range) and Ishihara testing (3 or more errors on 14 testable plates)
  • color vision normal (CVNs) verified by passing red-green anomaloscope (outside system normal range) and Ishihara testing (3 or more errors on 14 testable plates)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cone Contrast Test
Time Frame: 2 WeekS
Cone Contrast Sensitivity (CS) Test (CCT, Innova Systems, Inc.): red, green & blue cone CS using 100-point scale based on log changes in CS. Values will be converted to Z-scores to compare to outcomes with other units.
2 WeekS
Cone Contrast Naming Test
Time Frame: 2 Weeks
Red, green & blue cone CS and color naming accuracy each based on 100-point scale. Values will be converted to Z-scores to compare to outcomes with other units.
2 Weeks
Letter Chart Testing
Time Frame: 2 Weeks
Letter chart cone specific VA, small letter CS, and large letter CS scored as number of letters correct with VA expressed as log MAR & CS as log CS. Values will be converted to Z-scores to compare to outcomes with other units.
2 Weeks
Color Matching
Time Frame: 2 Weeks
Cone specific color matching provides the contrast seen by the normal cone type which matches the contrast seen by the defective cone type in units of % Weber contrast. Values will be converted to Z-scores to compare to outcomes with other units.
2 Weeks
Color Identification Test
Time Frame: 2 Weeks
Cockpit color identification test measure reaction time in seconds and error rate to identify colored targets on a computer display. Values will be converted to Z-scores to compare to outcomes with other units.
2 Weeks
Visual Electrodiagnostic Testing
Time Frame: 2 Weeks
Cone specific visual brainwaves (VEPs) and flash and pattern eye waves (ERGs) will be quantified in terms of amplitude in microvolts and latency in msec. Values will be converted to Z-scores to compare to outcomes with other units.
