Presbyopia Correction

The purpose of the study is to assess participant experience when wearing multifocal contact lenses compared to spherical contact lenses with reading glasses.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction of two commercially available trifocal toric intraocular lenses Primary Objective: To compare the distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity between the two trifocal toric intraocular lenses. Secondary Objectives: To assess and compare the safety of two trifocal toric intraocular lenses.

Study Goal The goal of this clinical trial is to compare how well four different types of artificial lenses (called intraocular lenses or IOLs) help people see after cataract surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which lens gives the best vision at different distances (far, middle, and close)? How satisfied are patients with their vision after surgery? How often do patients still need glasses after surgery? Who Can Participate Adults aged 22 to 85 years who need cataract surgery in both eyes and meet specific health requirements. Study Design Researchers compared six different lens types: TECNIS Eyhance - designed to improve middle-distance vision AcrySof IQ Vivity - extends the range of clear vision LuxSmart - uses special optics for better depth of focus Rayner EMV - uses gradual light-bending technology for smooth vision transition Eycryl SERT - modifies light focus to extend clear vision range CT ASPHINA 409M - standard single-focus lens (comparison group) Participants chose their preferred lens type after learning about each option's benefits and limitations. What Participants Do? Participants will: Have cataract surgery on both eyes (1-2 weeks apart) Complete vision tests at multiple distances Take contrast sensitivity tests under different lighting conditions Fill out questionnaires about vision quality and daily activities Attend follow-up visits at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months This study helps patients and doctors make informed decisions about which type of artificial lens might work best for individual needs and lifestyle.

With age, people lose the ability to see things that are near them clearly. This is known as presbyopia. Although this is a normal ageing process, it can be corrected with near vision eyeglasses - colloquially known as reading glasses - and people should not have to "put up with" poor near vision. By improving the ability to see things that are up-close, near vision eyeglasses allow people to perform tasks with greater ease. This improves their quality of life, and increases their productivity and income. DOT Glasses provides people in East Africa with a range of eyeglasses, including those to improve near vision. In addition, products sold to communities through loans repaid at regular intervals (known as asset financing), allow people in underserved communities to harness electricity through solar products and to own electronic devices, such as mobile phones. This also improves their quality of life, and increases their productivity and income. Sun King is one of the leading providers of solar products through loans in Kenya. This study will gather evidence and insights from existing Sun King customers with poor near vision in Busia, Siaya, Vihiga and Kakamega. The investigators will explore how much giving people glasses to improve their near vision impacts their ability to make repayments, their incomes and livelihoods, and their overall quality of life. It will also be studied how the glasses affect participants usage of the solar device or mobile phone.

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.
