Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

High order aberrations (HOA) are visual phenomena that decrease quality of vision. Examples of high order aberration are glare, halos, decreased contrast sensitivity and shape distortion. They are caused by slight imperfections or distortions in the corneal surface. HOA are currently measured using a variety of FDA approved devices. For this study, the LADARWave (Alcon) will be used to measure HOA. This device uses a harmless beam of light. It is FDA approved and non-invasive. Contact lens induced high order aberrations have never been measured and reported in the literature. This work may provide information to guide future contact lens design.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a FindMyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

2 registered facilities, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

United States
  • Aston Ambulatory Care Center

    Dallas, Texas, United States

  • Utsw Medical Center at Dallas

    Dallas, Texas, United States

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
