Measuring eye accommodation response under different conditions

Refractive Status and Accommodation Response Under Different Experimental Conditions.

Not applicable Interventional Essilor International · NCT06331780

This study is testing new ways to measure how well the eye can focus on close objects in healthy adults aged 18 to 40 to see if it can improve eye exams.

What this trial studies

This clinical investigation aims to explore new methods for measuring the accommodative response of the eye, particularly focusing on the dynamics and amplitude of this response. The study will involve healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40 who have recently visited an ophthalmologist and do not have any visual or cognitive impairments. Various parameters will be manipulated during the measurement process, including visual acuity and different accommodation measurement techniques. The goal is to improve the reliability of near vision assessments using auto-refractors, which are commonly used by eye care professionals.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40 who have had an eye examination within the last year.

Not a fit: Patients with significant refractive errors or astigmatism beyond specified limits may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate assessments of near vision, benefiting patients with accommodation disorders.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is exploratory, previous studies have indicated that there are challenges in measuring accommodative response accurately, suggesting a need for improved methodologies.
