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

Transforming Households With Refraction and Innovative Financial Technology

The aim of the proposed Randomised Clinical Trial (RCT) is to assess the impact of presbyopia correction and basic digital financial training on greater adoption and use of digital financial services (primary outcome) and other welfare impacts (secondary outcomes)) for safety-net beneficiaries in Bangladesh. Trial participants will be Old Age Allowance (OAA) and Widows Allowance (WA) beneficiaries who regularly receive payments as part of a government safety net program for the very poor. The primary objective of the THRIFT trial is to assess whether the combined complementary intervention of providing free eyeglasses and basic digital financial services training in the use of mobile phones to recipients of government OAA and WA safety-net payments can lead to greater financial inclusion and improved quality of life. THRIFT's primary outcome is the adoption and effective use of the DFS platform in receiving digital OAA and WA transfers using the mobile banking platform, as measured by the difference between the treatment and control groups. The secondary outcomes analysed under the THRIFT trial will be: total data consumption, independent use of the mobile banking application, purchase of eyeglasses (for control group members), access to medication and healthcare, subjective well-being, mobility, social connectedness, percentage of household consumption, reasons for using or avoiding smartphone based DFS, and decision-making power within the household.

"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.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine how Qlosi™ (pilocarpine HCL ophthalmic solution) 0.4%impacts the quality of life of participants with presbyopia by using a battery of validated and investigator-developed instruments * Improvement in presbyopic symptoms as measured with the Near Activity Visual Questionnaire-Presbyopia (NAVQ-P) when using Qlosi™ at week 4 compared to baseline (continuous variable). * Improvement in presbyopic symptoms as measured with the Visual Quality of Life with Time Survey (VisQualT) questionnaire when using Qlosi™ at week 4 compared to baseline.

Impact of a Novel Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens on Visual and Lifestyle Enhancement

The introduction of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (PC-IOLs) has provided cataract and refractive surgeons the ability to provide patients with a wider range of visual success and spectacle independence post-cataract surgery.Multifocal (MFIOL) IOLs have the ability to provide near and distance vision, and in the case of trifocal IOLs, near, intermediate and distance. Despite the significant technological evolution of MFIOL's, the potential for visual disturbances, such as glare, halos and starbursts still exists-and in much greater frequency compared to their monofocal counterparts. Extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs aim to provide patients with a functional range of vision, with a similar visual disturbance profile to a monofocal lens. In this way, this subset of PC-IOL's can offer patients some degree of spectacle independence, with a significantly lower incidence of visual disturbances. The Vivity Extended Vision IOL is the first of its kind to offer Wavefront Stretching technology, providing patients with an excellent extended range of vision from intermediate to distance, as well as some functional near vision. Prior studies have demonstrated very good vision in both bright and dim lighting conditions, as well as a high degree of spectacle independence with the Vivity IOL, as compared to a monofocal IOL. Studies evaluating the ability of the Vivity IOL to provide a significant impact on patient lifestyle (e.g. patient independence from spectacles for most activities with a low rate of visual disturbances) in the United States in a 'real-world' setting have yet to be performed. In addition, influence of pre-and-perioperative variables such as sex, age, prior refractive surgery, IOL formula used, axial length, astigmatism, use of intraoperative aberrometry, femtosecond laser and pupillary expansion devices has yet to be evaluated on the postoperative success of this IOL. This study will be comprised of patients with visually significant cataracts who will undergo cataract extraction with implantation of the spherical and/or toric models of the Vivity Extended Vision (Alcon, Fort Worth TX) intraocular lens. Upon decision of the patient and surgeon to undergo surgery, patients will be offered the option to enroll in this observational study.

Evaluation of Refractive Outcomes in Patients Undergoing PRESBYOND Using the MEL90 Excimer Laser

The goal of this clinical trial is to collect information on vision outcomes in people aged 45 to 65 who have difficulty seeing clearly at near distances due to aging (a condition called presbyopia). All participants will receive the same treatment: laser eye surgery with the PRESBYOND method using the MEL 90 excimer laser. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * How well do patients see at distance, intermediate, and near after treatment? * How satisfied are patients with their vision after surgery? Participants will: * Attend seven visits over six months (before surgery and after surgery at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months) * Undergo laser eye surgery with PRESBYOND * Complete vision tests and questionnaires about their experience There is no comparison group in this study.
