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

Detailed Description

The Bausch + Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment VST is based on a reverse geometry orthokeratology design that includes a base curve/treatment curve, a reverse curve, alignment curves and peripheral curves. The base curve is used to only flatten the cornea and is not considered a fitting curve. The parameters of the Arise Orthokeratology Lens are controlled to be within the bounds determined by the spherical posterior curves of other lens designs prescribed for the Bausch + Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment. The term peripheral curves excludes the base curve and includes the zones defined as the reverse curve, alignment curves and peripheral curves. Peripheral curves are designed to help control centration of the lens. When there are elevation differences between the flat and steep meridians on the cornea (e.g., corneal toricity), spherical peripheral curves, including the reverse curve, alignment curves and peripheral curves, may not align completely to the cornea and can result in a lens with sub-optimal centration. Aspheric curves and toric (e.g., dual axis) peripheral curves on reverse geometry lenses for overnight orthokeratology have been available in the US market for more than 10 years for fitting lenses. The intent of the Arise Orthokeratology Lens is to provide a stable and centered lens that helps ensure the treatment zone of the lens is well positioned in relation to the pupil and is shaping the central portion of the cornea for optimal results.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Be 12 years or older on the date the Informed Consent Form (ICF) is signed and, as subject or parent or legal guardian of a minor subject, have capacity to read, understand and provide written voluntary informed consent on the IRB-approved ICF and provide authorization as appropriate for local privacy regulations.
  2. Be orthokeratology lens naïve.
  3. Spherical refractive error between plano and -5.00D.
  4. Astigmatism no greater than 1.50D.
  5. Corneal topography sagittal height differential of ≥ 30 microns between the two main meridians (flat and steep) at an 8mm chord.
  6. Has keratometric readings from 39.00 to 48.00D.
  7. Has a clear and undistorted Mire Reflex.
  8. Be willing and able to comply with all treatment and follow-up study visits and procedures.
  9. Must be willing to refrain from wearing habitual soft contact lenses during the study period.
  10. Subjects must be correctable through spherocylindrical refraction to 42 letters (0.1 logMAR) or better (distance, high contrast) in each eye.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject is considered by the Investigator, to not be a suitable candidate for participation or it is not in the best interest of the subject to participate in the study.
  2. Subjects who have worn rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses within the last 30 days or who have worn polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) lenses within the last three months.
  3. Prior eyelid, strabismus, intraocular, or refractive surgery.
  4. Keratoconus or an irregular cornea.
  5. Subjects with any systemic disease currently affecting ocular health or in the Investigator's opinion may have an effect on ocular health during the course of the study.

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
The Rate of Serious Adverse Events at the Subject Level
Time Frame: Assessed from dispensing through 3 months
Assessed from dispensing through 3 months
Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Monocular Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA) of 20/40 or Better in Both Eyes
Time Frame: Assessed at 3 month follow up visit
Using the high contrast distance UDVA collected at the 3-Month Follow-up Visit, subjects with non-missing Snellen VA of 20/40 or less in both eyes will be classified as "20/40 or Better". Subjects with at least one missing value at the 3-Month Follow-up Visit will not be classified and their classification value will be assigned as a missing value. The denominator for percentages will be the number of non-missing values
Assessed at 3 month follow up visit
