VisionApp - Ghosting

Official title

Assessment of the Accuracy and Repeatability of the VisionApp - Ghosting Measurement Protocol

Overview

Recent Android mobile device technology is available which allows user-measured refractive error and reading add power. This technology could be quite useful to the clinical and research community. The current study aims to evaluate the accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of one such technology by VisionApp, specifically with regard to ghosting vision. VisionApp is an app which runs on a smartphone or other device which uses the distance between the user's face and the phone to determine refractive error, while the user looks at different targets (lines, letters, words, etc).

Detailed description

Subjects will be enrolled at the Clinical Optics Research Lab at Indiana University.

At the study visit, demographic and health/ocular history may be collected by oral history and standard clinical testing including refraction (check of glasses prescription), auto-refraction or abbrerometry may be performed. Visual acuity and room lighting checks may also be measured using standard clinical techniques.

For the experimental portion of the study visit, participants will be asked to look at letters and describe any shadows or distortions they see using slider bars or numerical rating scales, while wearing different contact lenses. Participants will first be asked to wear commercially available single vision contact lenses to establish best corrected vision. A single vision lens will then remain in one eye, and participants will proceed with ghosting assessments using two different multifocal contact lenses worn in the other eye. Adult participants will perform the ghosting assessments while wearing 2 commercially available multifocal lenses, and children participants will perform the ghosting assessments while wearing a commercially available and investigational lens. Randomization will determine which lens is worn first.

If participants are unable to complete all testing in a single session, they may be permitted to return on a subsequent day.

Interventions

• Device Proclear 1 Day Contact Lens
  Proclear 1 day is a commercially available single vision soft contact lens for single use (daily wear). Participants will wear these contacts at the beginning of the study visit to establish best corrected vision. Participants will then continue to wear this contact lens in one eye for the duration of the study visit.
• Device MyDay Contact Lens
  MyDay is a commercially available multifocal soft contact lens for daily wear. Adult participants will assess images for ghosting while wearing a MyDay contact lens in one eye. Order of exposure to this lens will be determined via randomization.
• Device NaturalVue Contact Lens
  NaturalVue is a commercially available multifocal soft contact lens for daily wear. Adult participants will assess images for ghosting while wearing a NaturalVue contact lens in one eye. Order of exposure to this lens will be determined via randomization.
• Device MiSight 1 Day Contact Lens
  MiSight 1 Day is a commercially available multifocal soft contact lens for daily wear. Children participants will assess images for ghosting while wearing a MiSight 1 Day contact lens in one eye. Order of exposure to this lens will be determined via randomization.
• Device Investigational Contact Lens
  An investigational multifocal soft contact lens for daily wear. While the contact lens is made of an FDA approved material which is already marketed in the United States, it differs from commercially available lenses in that it has a slightly different optical design. Children participants will assess images for ghosting while wearing this investigational contact lens in one eye. Order of exposure to this lens will be determined via randomization.
• Device VisionApp
  VisionApp is an app which runs on a smartphone or other device which uses the distance between the user's face and the phone to determine refractive error, while the user looks at different targets (lines, letters, words, etc.)
