The investigators aim to conduct a mixed-method study in which a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and a descriptive qualitative study will be conducted. The RCT aims to determine whether free near and distance glasses provided to residents in Hyderabad, India, aged ≥ 60 years, with under- or un- corrected refractive error and normal baseline hearing and cognition (HMSE \> 18), can improve quality of life, reduce falls, reduce depression, improve social interaction and physical activity cost-effectively over 36 months. The primary qualitative research aim is to a) contextualize the RCT with information on the milieu and culture in which the trial will be conducted; b) provide data on the lived experiences of older adults with reduced vision in the study area, and c) conduct a process evaluation of the trial. The primary outcome measure is the three-year change in cognition measured by LASI- DAD (Longitudinal Aging Study in India(LASI)- Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia(DAD) global cognitive score. Secondary Outcome Measures: Three year change in Quality of Life score measured by WHO QOL-BREF; Visual functioning from the RASCH-scaled version of INDVFQ(Indian Visual Functioning(INDVFQ);self-reported physical activity score measured using IPAQ questionnaire; PHQ9 score; domain specific cognitive score (orientation, executive function, language/fluency, memory) measured by HMSE; Total cost of care including direct and indirect costs; Quality adjusted life years; Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio; Number of falls measured by Quick Screen score over the three years; Social network density at 3 years (SNI 1-3 represents a "limited" social network, 4-5 is a "medium" social network, and SNI ≥6 is a "diverse" social network) measured by the SNI score; An additional secondary outcome will be LASI-DAD global cognitive score analysed by excluding any tests determined pre-hoc to depend on visual acuity.

NCT06065631
The main objective of the Sierra Leone Sees to Learn (SL2) trial is to assess the educational impact of providing free eyeglasses to students aged 9-20 years with uncorrected refractive error in Sierra Leone. The procedures include baseline questionnaires and educational assessments to collect data on students and schools, and then the provision of free eyeglasses to students who have uncorrected (or undercorrected) refractive error (URE). The questionnaires and student assessments will take 1-2 hours. The duration of the study timeframe is one school year. The end-line questionnaires and student assessments will be administered at the end of the school year.
NCT07333248
This operational research project aims to strengthen continuity of eye care delivery between community screening and hospital-based treatment in rural Assam by redesigning referral pathways from the Boko Eye Care Center (ECC) to Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya (SSDN) base hospital. Despite active outreach in the Boko region from the Boko ECC through conducting regular outreach screenings, less than 30 percent of patients referred to the base hospital actually arrive for evaluation and less than 25 percent of those advised for surgery proceed to treatment. The proposed study addresses these gaps by examining behavioural, structural and logistical barriers to referral completion and surgical uptake, and by implementing a coordinated patient-centered referral and engagement strategy. The proposed intervention comprises of five sequential components: (1) root cause analysis to identify bottlenecks and facilitators in the current referral pathway, (2) community engagement activities to improve awareness and proactive health-seeking behaviour, (3) implementation of an integrated referral and engagement model supported by trained community team and structured referral tracking, (4) strengthening referral completion through patient navigation, scheduled transport and follow-up reminders, and (5) enhancement of surgical acceptance through standardized counseling, affordability support and social reinforcement. The outcomes will be measured prospectively, focusing on increase in hospital footfall from the Boko catchment area, proportion of referred patients who complete hospital visits, and proportion of patients who were advised for surgery and had undergone the procedure. The proposed project aims to achieve a minimum of 70 percent referral completion and 45 percent surgical conversion by the end of the 36-month study period.

NCT07240480
The goal of this observational methodological study is to validate the Turkish version of the DDIVAT visual acuity measuring device in a Turkish-speaking adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the Turkish version of the DDIVAT provide reliable and valid visual acuity measurements in Turkish speakers? Are the results of the DDIVAT comparable to those obtained with the standard Snellen chart used in clinical practice? Researchers will compare DDIVAT visual acuity test results with Snellen chart results to see if both methods produce consistent measurements. Participants will: Be adults aged 18 years or older, including both patients and healthy volunteers. Undergo visual acuity testing using the DDIVAT system displayed on a smart TV connected to the university server. Have their visual acuity re-measured using the standard Snellen optotype under the same conditions. No medication or invasive procedure will be used. The study carries no risk to participants.

NCT06112431
Individuals living in Upper Manhattan have limited access to eye care, high vision impairment rates, and poor ocular health outcomes. To improve eye care and vision health outcomes, the Eye Health Intervention Study in Upper Manhattan (EYES-UM) will conduct eye health screenings in accessible primary care health centers and senior centers and implement a behavioral intervention to improve adherence for those referred for in-office eye care. The proposed innovative, 2:1 cluster-randomized clinical trial, will recruit adults age 40 and older in Upper Manhattan with known rates of inadequate eye care. A total of 10 settings in Upper Manhattan, comprised of primary care offices, senior centers, and organizations, confirms access to 17,000 individuals living at or below the NYC.gov poverty measure. This study will conduct ocular tests (visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus images) during screenings. To ensure that all participants receive the basic level of service, all participants who fail the eye health screening will be seen the same day by a study optometrist and eyeglasses will be provided at no charge. Educational workshops and an Advisory Board will support recruitment. Intervention Arm participants will receive ongoing support with scheduling eye exams and transportation by trained Study Coordinators. All participants will be followed prospectively for 2 years. The study is guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) Framework. Conducting Focus Groups with health policy stakeholders ensures iterative input during the study to bridge and translate EYES-UM findings into a Vision Health Policy Roadmap for scalable implementation of vision care delivery models, focusing on adherence.

NCT06052046
Determine if Total30 for Astigmatism contact lenses (CLs) provide a comfortable wearing experience all day. CL discomfort affects most CL wearers with discomfort consistently topping the reasons why established CL wearers drop out of CLs. In fact, studies have consistently found that the frequency of CL dropout is around 20% with this dropout frequency staying relatively stable over the past 20 plus years. This static frequency of CL dropout is surprising since there have been a number of dramatic soft CL innovations during this time frame (e.g., widely available daily disposable CLs, silicone hydrogel CL materials with high oxygen transmissibility, new CL surface coatings).
NCT06266728
This study aims to determine if Total30 lenses for astigmatism can be successfully fit in participants who are heavy digital device users.
NCT04077086
Chinese children are some of the most short-sighted in the world, but only one in five children in poor areas who needs glasses has them. Our team has already shown in other trials that giving children free glasses leads to better grades and that free glasses have a bigger impact on grades than factors like parents' education level and the amount of money a family has. The effect on grades from glasses is greater than from other health services in school, like giving vitamins. Only about one in three children in rural China goes on to a regular, non-vocational high school. The investigators would like to show the Chinese government strong evidence of what glasses can do to help children continue their education, in order to help convince the government to carry out national programs to provide free glasses for children who need them. Study Plan: The investigators will choose 111 middle schools at random in Liaoning, northern China, and all children in Year 1 at each school will go at random into one of two groups: either a group getting free glasses, with support from teachers to push them to wear the glasses ("Intervention") or a group getting just glasses prescriptions ("Control.") The main study outcome will be the proportion of children going on to academic (as opposed to vocational) high school, and the study is powered to detect a 10% difference in this figure between groups.The study will also assess whether children wear their glasses at school and how often they use blackboards (which disadvantage short-sighted children) vs textbooks to learn from. These other outcomes will help us to better understand the causal pathway between vision and high school attendance. We will also study the total cost of providing glasses and the teacher support to wear them per additional student attending academic high school, as well as student mental health outcomes. We will also collect data on the progression of nearsightedness. The hypothesis of this study is that providing glasses will increase academic high school attendance.
NCT06371079
The goal of this observational study is to test whether surgeries for lenses designed to be implanted in the eye to correct refractive error can be done without the need for using viscoelastic substances that are used routinely nowadays to make it easier to introduce them inside the human eye and protect the inside of the eye during the operation. The main question it aims to answer is that is it safe to do the surgery without using them? to answer this question researchers will access recorded data of patients that underwent refractive surgeries in a private clinic since 2017 and compare them as two groups: those who underwent the traditional procedures and those who had it without the use of dispersive viscoelastics in regard to their vision before and after surgery, their ocular pressure and biomicroscopic analysis of the inside of their corneas before and after surgery.
NCT06668246
This study aimed to compare refractive measurements using Vision-S™ 700, an immersive and compact phoropter with a tunable-focus lens, and Vision-R™ 800, a phoropter with a tunable-focus lens without immersion, with cycloplegic refraction serving as the gold-standard. This a retrospective study aimed to enroll 41 children, aged 6 to 16 years, who underwent refractive assessments with Vision-S™ 700, Vision-R™ 800, and cycloplegic refraction. The primary objective involves a comparison of the spherical equivalent between both devices and compared to cycloplegic refraction. Secondary outcomes include the analysis of astigmatism components (J0° and J45°) and subgroup analyses in myopic and hyperopic children.
