Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
The following Standard of Care procedures will be performed during this study:
I.Medical history and Concomitant Medication Recorded - Subjects will be interviewed about their demographics, medical and ocular History, and their allergies and medications. The study doctor or the study personnel will use paper source documents (Case Report Form) to collect and record the following data: current prescription of both contact lenses and glasses, refraction, and keratometry.
II.Comprehensive Exam
A. Snellen visual acuity testing (both eyes) This will be performed using a standard projector chart at twenty feet. All patients will be refracted to ensure that visual acuity and prescription are within the inclusion criteria.
B. Anterior ocular segment inspection by slit lamp examination
- Blink rate is estimated per minute (both eyes)
- Normal eyelid and eyelash position is checked for both upper and lower lids (both eyes)
- The tear meniscus is inspected and estimated for height in millimeter and presence or absence of cells and debris including mucous threads (both eyes)
- The bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and crystalline lens are inspected for any abnormalities (both eyes)
- Meibomian gland orifices are inspected for signs of inflammation or plugging; eyelid skin margin is inspected for inflammation and scaling (both eyes).
C. Aqueous tear production (both eyes) Following application of 1 drop of topical tetracaine, Schirmer test strips are applied to the lower fornix at the outer one-third of the lower eyelid for 3 minutes and the length of wetting recorded in mm (≥ 3.0 mm wetting/3 minutes considered within normal limits).
D. Corneal staining (both eyes) One-drop of non-preserved isotonic saline is placed upon the tip of a fluorescein test strip and applied to the lower fornix with the patient looking up; presence or absence of corneal staining with fluorescein is then noted by the screening clinician.
E. Intraocular pressure measurement One drop of tetracaine is applied and the cornea is gently applanated with the tip of the Goldmann tonometer to ensure Intraocular pressure ≤ 21 mmHg (both eyes).
F. Evaluation of upper and lower eyelids Both upper eyelids are gently everted and both upper and lower conjunctival surfaces inspected for any abnormalities.
G. Fundus examination The pupil is dilated OU (both eyes) with 1 drop each of 2.5% neosynephrine and 0.15% mydriacyl applied 1x, X2, or x3 as needed at 10 minute intervals to achieve >5 mm dilation OU. The fundus is then inspected for the appearance of the optic nerve, macula, retinal vessels and periphery and any abnormalities noted. Any abnormalities are cause for non-inclusion.
The following Experimental Procedures will be performed:
I. Informed Consent Process The research staff will review the study including the informed consent in detail and allow the subject time to make an informed decision. Following review and opportunity to ask questions, the subject will be asked to sign this consent form.
II. Tear collection (both eyes) Tear collection will be performed as the first clinical test. Three µl sample volumes tears will be collected non-invasively in vivo using microcapillary tubes from the inferior tear meniscus at the temporal canthus of both eyes. Tears will be collected with the patient seated at the slit lamp with the light on low illumination.
III. Corneal epithelial cell collection (left eye only) Corneal epithelial cells can be collected non-invasively in vivo using a custom-made ocular irrigation chamber specific for these types of studies. The corneal irrigation chamber collects corneal epithelial cells into a 15 ml test tube. The patient is seated with forehead resting against a headrest; a fixation target is placed to orient the eye to be irrigated downwards; and the irrigating tip is positioned 2 mm below the corneal apex. Irrigation involves the delivery of 9 ml of sterile saline to the central cornea for a period of 1 minute via a tubing pump.
IV. In vivo confocal microscopy (right eye) A Heidelberg confocal microscope engineered in house with remote controlled scanning capabilities will be utilized in this study. One drop of topical tetracaine will be placed in the subject's eye; the subject's head is then placed in the headrest as for regular slit lamp examination. A drop of Genteal (Alcon Laboratories) is placed upon the top of the objective lens to serve as an immersion fluid. The cornea is then applanated using the standard objective lens tip. Both confocal microscopy through focusing scans and static images of the corneal epithelial surface will be acquired in the central cornea and all four quadrants of the limbus by controlling for the patient's direction of gaze. Similar image sequences will be performed to sequentially image the upper and lower lid wiper region at the midpoint of the eyelid (corresponding to the 5 and 7 o'clock position of the limbus). For upper lid imaging, the lid will be everted prior to image acquisition. Sequential imaging will allow for subsequent montage generation of the mid-point of the upper and lower lid.
