Proof-of-Concept for a Novel Optical Aperture Contact Lens in Presbyopia and Keratoconus

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the NOA lens, a custom-made scleral contact lens developed by Azalea Vision BV, in improving visual quality for individuals with keratoconus and presbyopia. This clinical study investigates a new lens design featuring a specific central aperture (opening) intended to enhance image quality by increasing depth of focus and reducing optical aberrations. The NOA lens serves as a functional prototype for future "smart lens" technology, specifically the ALMA Smart Lens. The study aims to determine if this specialized lens provides a solution for patients whose visual needs are not fully met by conventional glasses or contact lenses. The investigation will compare a standard refractive scleral lens (Type 1) against the aperture-integrated lens (Type 2) to validate the "pinhole effect" in improving vision and reducing higher-order aberrations.

Comparison of PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision and Conventional Monovision LASIK in Individuals With Presbyopia: A Randomized Clinical Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if laser blended vision (LBV) works better than traditional monovision LASIK to correct presbyopia in adults aged 40 to 55 years. Presbyopia is an age-related condition that makes it hard to see things up close. The study will also evaluate the safety of both procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does LBV improve distance, intermediate, and near vision at the same time after surgery? Is LBV as safe as traditional monovision LASIK? Researchers will compare laser blended vision to traditional monovision LASIK to see if LBV provides better overall vision after surgery. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either laser blended vision or traditional monovision LASIK Have standard eye examinations before surgery Undergo LASIK surgery using the assigned method Return for follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery Complete vision tests and questionnaires about visual quality and satisfaction

"My Eyes, My Light": Amar Chokh, Amar Alo

Eye disease affects 2.2 billion people globally, which in turn adversely affects schooling, economic productivity, and participation in social life. The primary conditions contributing to visual impairment and blindness include cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (DR), refractive error, and presbyopia. Early detection of eye disease can provide substantial benefits in prompting treatment to reduce progression and mitigate disability. Compared with other regions, South Asia has the most cases of visual impairment due to cataracts and uncorrected refractive error. The combination of poverty, poor living and working environments, and limited health care access have long endangered eye health in Bangladesh. Coastal Bangladesh is particularly impacted by eye disease due to economic deprivation and limited healthcare access. The coastal population mostly works in fishing and agriculture, have prolonged sunlight exposure, and inadequate occupational eye protection. This low-lying region, with 35 million people, is especially vulnerable to climate disasters and global warming. High rates of chronic disease, especially diabetes mellitus Type 2 and hypertension, coupled with limited screening and treatment, shape the area's health profile, with the increasing prevalence of eye diseases such as DR, glaucoma, and visual impairment. To address the issues of poor health, accessibility, and affordability of eye care, Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted fundus imaging, can be applied in eye screening. Medical AI applications have the potential to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare, reduce healthcare costs, optimize treatment plans, and bolster the development of primary healthcare. They can identify presumptive DR, hypertensive retinopathy (HR), AMD, and glaucoma by analyzing the retina and optic disc of fundus images with moderate accuracy and high efficiency, thus helping address the lack of local eye care professionals. Data Yakka developed a human-AI collaboration that delivers affordable and transformative community-based eye screening to underserved communities in the coastal Bangladesh region of Char Fasson. The "Amar Chokh Amar Alo" (My Eyes, My Light) initiative creates and implements comprehensive eye screening that combines AI-assisted eye screening and grassroots partnerships with trusted non-health non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It has three objectives: 1) Enhancing accessibility and affordability of eye screening; 2) Supporting high quality and efficient treatment of those problems detected via screening, 3) Collecting fundus images to refine or train AI algorithms in the future. This project was designed to evaluate the feasibility, performance, equity, and cost of this model of eye screening and its implications for global eye disease. The implementation of participant recruitment, data collection, screening, and follow-up was separated into twelve steps. This standardized framework ensured the integration of screening with data collection and follow-up eye care services. Based on risk stratification by diabetes, hypertension, age 50+ years, and/or optometrist recommendation, fundus imaging was offered selectively to higher-risk patients.

Evaluation of Safety and Effectiveness of an IOL With a Virtual Aperture Optic

Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause changes in vision. Symptoms of cataracts include cloudy or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to glare. Cataract extraction with Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world. Presbyopia affects almost everyone over the age of 50. With age, the natural crystalline lens loses its ability to change shape, or accommodate, to focus on near distances. Thus, individuals with excellent distance vision will still need to wear spectacles for near tasks such as reading, and intermediate tasks such as computer work.

Quality of Life in Presbyopes Using Single-vision Lens and Progressive Lens Correction

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the quality of life (QOL) of presbyopes wearing progressive addition lenses (PALs) with that of those wearing single-vision spectacles (SVSs) for near correction. The main questions it aims to answer is: What is the difference in QOL between presbyopes who use SVSs and those who use PALs ? Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the PALs group or the SVSs group.Participants in the progressive lenses intervention group will receive 1-month progressive lens correction in daily life. And participants in single-vision lenses intervention group will use near-vision spectacles during near work and use their original habitual distant glasses for distance tasks for 1 month. The study will compare the QOL scores measured by a 12-item Near Vision-Related Quality of Life questionnaire between the two groups. Additionally, the study will compare the scores measured by the Refractive Status and Vision Profile questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire between the two groups as well as assess the change in the above three questionnaires scores at 1 month following enrollment. And visual acuity of subjects will also be assessed at baseline and at the 1-month follow-up.
