Study Summary

This trial will study how to improve accommodation in young adults wearing multifocal contact lenses to treat myopia, using auditory biofeedback training. It will assess the effect of training duration and repetition.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for young adults aged 18-30 with no eye function issues, a specific range of nearsightedness (-0.75 D to -10 D), and good visual acuity. They must not have any eye diseases or be on medications that affect their eyesight or cause dry eyes.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if auditory biofeedback training can improve how well young adults' eyes adjust focus while wearing multifocal contact lenses designed for myopia control. It's split into three experiments based on the timing, repetition, and duration of the training.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive biofeedback training rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from wearing contact lenses longer than usual during the exercises.

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: The time course groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The time course of the effect of biofeedback training in young adults wearing MFCLs. Subjects will receive one episode of auditory biofeedback training and accommodation will be measured before the training and after the training on a weekly basis for 3 weeks.

Group II: The repetition groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Subjects will receive one episode of auditory biofeedback training every week for 3 weeks and accommodation will be measured before the training and after the training on a weekly basis.

Group III: The longer duration groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Subjects will receive one episode of auditory biofeedback training for twice as long every week for 3 weeks and accommodation will be measured before the training and after the training on a weekly basis.
