Interventions: Device: Ocular surface optical coherence tomography

Registration Number: NCT04649177

Lead Sponsor: Boston Sight

Brief Summary: EYEdeal Scanning Technology enables rapid measurement of corneal and scleral topography. By accurately measuring the ocular surface with this imaging technology, the current iterative fitting method required to fit PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) devices could be replaced and/or strengthened with a more rapid, automated fitting sequence. This could considerably reduce the time needed per visit, the number of visits, and the number of devices needed to be manufactured to reach the endpoint. Additionally, the scanning technology may afford the opportunity to successfully fit some pathology that were previously treatment failures. The automated technology may as well reduce the intensive clinician training time needed to fit PROSE devices, therefore increasing the availability and access to patients.

The goal of this research is to evaluate the reliability and efficacy of this automated technology for fitting PROSE devices. Data from real-time measurement of the human eye ocular surface topography will be used to fabricate a prosthetic lens. The fit of the PROSE device will be evaluated, as well as the subjective comfort of the fit.

Study & Design

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
study group	Ocular surface optical coherence tomography	There is only one study group in this study. All subjects will receive the OCT scanning and PROSE lens fitting.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Lens Centration	45 minutes post lens application	Each study eye (one eye from each participant) was evaluated to determine if the lens was "Centered" (yes) or "Decentered" (no) on the eye after 45 minutes of wear. Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye. All participants were reported in this outcome measure.
Central Corneal Clearance	45 minutes post lens application	Central corneal clearance as measured by OCT after 45 minutes of lens wear Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye.
Lens Decentration	45 minutes post lens application	Lens decentration after 45 minutes of lens wear (x axis) Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye.
Lens Comfort After 45 Minutes of Lens Wear	45 minutes post lens application	0 to 10 grading (0 = very comfortable to 10 = very uncomfortable) Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye.
Number of Participants With Aligned Scleral Landing Zone	45 minutes post lens application	Each study eye (one eye from each participant) was evaluated to determine if the scleral landing zone was properly aligned on the eye (yes) or not properly aligned on the eye (no) after 45 minutes of wear. Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye. All participants were reported in this outcome measure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Lens Movement	45 minutes	Number of patients with lens movement after 45 minutes of wear are reported. Lens movement (YES) means the lens is NOT appropriately fitting/settling on the eye. Lens movement (NO) means the lens is appropriately fitting/settling on eye. Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye.
Lens Rotation	45 minutes post lens application	Lens rotation after 45 minutes of wear. Lens rotation was measured using an embedded program in the iTRACE system. The rotation data with image guided fitting with the OCT system was collected to compare with known experience with non-image guided fitting sets (the traditional fitting process), which typically rotate approximately 20-30 degrees on the eye. A lower number may indicate the manufactured lens more closely approximates the contours of the eye. Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye.
Number of Participants Achieving an Acceptable Fitting Lens	45 minutes post lens application	Number of participants achieving an acceptable fitting lens after 45 minutes of lens wear. All participants are reported. Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye. Is the fit acceptable for dispensing to the patient (yes) or is the fit NOT acceptable for dispensing to patient (no) as evaluated 45 minutes post lens application.
Number of Participants With Adequate Lens Limbal Clearance	45 minutes post lens application	Each study eye (one eye from each participant) was evaluated to determine if there was adequate (yes) lens limbal clearance or inadequate (no) lens limbal clearance after 45 minutes of wear. Outcome measure reports data only from the study eye. All participants were reported in this outcome measure.
