Efficacy of the Nanodropper Device on Pupillary Dilation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Dilation
Interventions
Device: Nanodropper
Device: Standard Eye Dropper
Registration Number
NCT05274321
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

Prescription eye drop bottles elute drops that exceed the capacity of the human eye by five times. This study describes performing in clinic dilation using a novel solution for combating medical waste with Nanodropper, an eye drop bottle adapter that creates smaller eye drops.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Constriction PercentageBefore and 30 minutes after dilation

Pupillary constriction percentage was calculated by the pupillometer in response to a 180-micro watt flash: (maximum - minimum) / maximum

Maximum Pupil DiameterBefore dilation and 30 minutes after dilation

The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris (the structure that gives our eyes their color). The diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of the pupil, which is shaped like a circle.

Spherical EquivalentBefore dilation and 30 minutes after dilation

Cycloplegia is the paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye resulting in dilatation of the pupil and paralysis of accommodation.

Cycloplegia is defined as the "change score." Change scores were calculated by subtracting the spherical equivalent value after dilation from the value before dilation for each eye.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Intraocular PressureBefore and 30 minutes After Dilation

Intraocular pressure is the pressure, or force, inside of your eyes. Specifically, it's a measurement of the fluid pressure in your aqueous humor.
