Brief Summary

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Development of a validated computer-based instrument (software program) for the assessment of intermediate visual acuity (IVA). It is known that no validated method for the evaluation of IVA exists.

Primary objective of the study is to validate a specific computer-based chart (optotype) that will enable: a) comparative studies among different groups of presbyopic patients with refractive errors (ie. myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism), and, b) assessment of the efficacy of surgical refractive procedures (ie. LASIK) on presbyopic patients.

Intermediate Visual acuity chart is similar to the prevalent Jaeger chart. It consists of short blocks of text in various type sizes.The computer screen is set at a specific reading distance (1 meter) and the patient is asked to read the passage with the smallest type he/she can see. According to the smallest text he/she can read, IVA is classified from IVA1 (which is considered the equivalent of 20/20 distance visual acuity) to IVA5

Validation of the computer-based IVA chart will be done by correlating the results of the IVA chart to the corresponding ones from the validated 20/20 distant and Jaeger near visual acuity charts, in a random sample of study participants with different refractive errors and different near and distant visual acuities.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

20/20ND group

This group will have 20/20 visual acuity both in distant and near.

Intermediate Visual acuity (IVA) assessment

Intervention Type OTHER

Intermediate visual acuity (IVA) will be assessed with the Intermediate Visual acuity chart which is similar to the prevalent Jaeger chart. It consists of short blocks of text in various type sizes.The computer screen is set at a specific reading distance (1 meter) and the patient is asked to read the passage with the smallest type he/she can see. According to the smallest text he/she can read, IVA is classified from IVA1 (which is considered the equivalent of 20/20 distance visual acuity) to IVA5

20/20D group

This group will have 20/20 distant visual acuity and variable near visual acuity.
