LFR-260 for Vision Testing
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial evaluates whether a new device, the LFR-260 portable phoropter, matches the effectiveness of the traditional tool used for eye exams. It focuses on testing visual acuity and involves two groups: one begins with the LFR-260, while the other uses the traditional device. This trial may suit individuals with mild to moderate vision issues, such as near-sightedness or far-sightedness, who have no major eye problems or conditions affecting vision. As an unphased trial, it offers a unique opportunity to contribute to advancements in eye care technology.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What prior data suggests that the LFR-260 device is safe for visual acuity testing?
Research shows that the LFR-260, a portable digital eye exam tool, is being compared to a traditional eye exam device called a phoropter. Although specific safety data for the LFR-260 is not yet available, the study does not include a safety monitoring phase. This typically indicates that the device is expected to be safe, as it performs a simple, non-invasive task similar to regular eye tests. The direct comparison to a traditional device in this study also suggests confidence in its safety for people.
So far, no serious side effects related to the LFR-260 have been reported in this study, indicating that the device is likely well-tolerated. However, as with any medical device, participants should consult their healthcare provider if they have any concerns.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the LFR-260 because it introduces a portable and digital approach to visual acuity testing. Unlike traditional phoropters, which are stationary and require in-person use, the LFR-260 allows for remote refractions, offering flexibility in various settings. This is particularly beneficial for those who need vision testing in non-traditional environments or who have mobility challenges. By potentially expanding access to eye care, the LFR-260 could revolutionize how and where vision tests are conducted.
What evidence suggests that the LFR-260 device is effective for visual acuity testing?
This trial will compare the LFR-260 portable phoropter with the traditional phoropter. Research has shown that the LFR-260 performs as well as traditional phoropters in eye tests. Early results suggest that the LFR-260 can accurately identify vision problems, which occur when light doesn't focus correctly on the back of the eye. This portable device enables testing outside a traditional office, making it more convenient for both eye care providers and patients. The trial aims to demonstrate that it performs as well as the usual tools used in eye exams. So far, it appears promising in matching the effectiveness of traditional phoropters in these tests.13567
