Higher Order Aberration and Relationship With Soft Contact Lens Modulus

May 20, 2024 updated by: Yueren Wang, OD, Southern College of Optometry
Higher order aberrations are imperfects in the eye that affect the quality of image projected onto the retina. Soft contact lenses are made of different materials with different stiffness. This study looks to see if the soft contact lens material affects the amount of higher order aberrations in an eye.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
CL first
Subject will present wearing habitual contact lenses for the aberrometry measurement. They will then remove their contact lenses and measurement repeated uncorrected.
wavefront aberrometer
Glasses first
Subjects will refrain from contact lens wear on day of the visit. Initial aberrometry measurement will be performed uncorrected. They will be then asked to insert their contact lenses and aberrometry measurements repeated.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean change in HOA with and without contact lenses
Time Frame: Within the same study visit, measurements will be taken 15 minutes apart to allow for tear film to return to homeostasis after contact lens insertion/removal.
Measure HOA with contact lenses. And then measure HOA without contact lenses.
Within the same study visit, measurements will be taken 15 minutes apart to allow for tear film to return to homeostasis after contact lens insertion/removal.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation between contact lens modulus and changes in HOA with and without contact lenses
Time Frame: Within the same study visit, measurements will be taken 15 minutes apart to allow for tear film to return to homeostasis after contact lens insertion/removal.
Evaluate correlation between the lens modulus and changes in HOA
Within the same study visit, measurements will be taken 15 minutes apart to allow for tear film to return to homeostasis after contact lens insertion/removal.
