About
Lens wettability and subjective comfort of Euclid orthokeratology lenses with and without an enhanced coating will be compared in 50 children. Axial elongation will be monitored in pediatric patients who qualify and consent.
Full description
The primary objective of this trial is to provide an assessment of the lens wettability and patient comfort with an enhanced surface treatment for the Emerald Lens design when used by practitioners with moderate experience with fitting Euclid orthokeratology lenses.
The hypothesis to be tested is that the proportion of participants with a lens wettability score of > 3 (on a 5 point scale) with the enhanced surface treatment will be greater than that of the current lens surface, using a 1 to 5 scale
The primary outcome variable is lens wettability as measured on eye using a 1 to 5 scale
This clinical investigation will be a prospective, randomized, double-masked two-arm non-crossover trial.
