Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The quality of vision produced by toric contact lenses depends on how they move when in the eye. The centration of spherical contact lenses is well known in both adult and child/adolescent populations.
In order to develop new designs that stabilise vision in astigmatic patients through the use of toric contact lenses for children and adolescents, it is necessary to use more complex lens designs (such as toric lenses) and the centration of these contact lenses is not well known in child or adolescent populations.

Who can participate?
Children and adolescents aged 8-16 years old

What does the study involve?
A single visit to the study clinic where the participants will wear three different pairs of contact lenses (one spherical and two toric) and have some video recordings of the movement of the contact lenses in their eyes.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The participants will be current contact lens wearers and they will use the study contact lenses under the control of the investigator. The study contact lenses are all currently available on the market. The risks to participants are no greater than wearing their own contact lenses. The possible benefit to the participant will be to try different contact lenses with different levels of comfort that they could eventually purchase from their own practitioner.

Where is the study run from?
Ocular Technology Group - International (UK)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
November 2021 to June 2022

Study typeTreatment
Participant information sheet Not available in web format, please use contact details to request a participant information sheet
Scientific titleToric contact lenses non-dispensing fitting study
Study objectivesThe primary efficacy hypotheses to be tested will be that:
1. Contact lens centration in the primary gaze of the test contact lenses is non-inferior to that of the control contact lens
2. Contact lens centration in the reading gaze of the test contact lenses is non-inferior to that of the control contact lens
Ethics approval(s)Approved 19/11/2021, London - West London & GTAC Research Ethics Committee (The Old Chapel, Royal Standard Place, Nottingham, NG1 6FS, UK; +44 (0)207 104 8143; westlondon.rec@hra.nhs.uk), REC ref: 21/PR/1482
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAstigmatism in myopic children and adolescents
InterventionEach participant will wear the test and control contact lenses (one pair of each) in a random order for a half-hour period, in which the contact lens fitting video recordings are taken. The videos are then measured post-hoc by a masked investigator.

Participants will be randomised as to the order in which the contact lenses will be fit, in a crossover manner (all participants will wear all of the study contact lenses).
Intervention typeDevice
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)MiSight, MyDay toric, clariti toric
Primary outcome measureContact lens decentration will be reported in mm measured from captures during high-speed high-definition video recording taken after 30 minutes of contact lens wear
Secondary outcome measures1. Rotation of contact lens measured in degrees from captures during high-speed high-definition video recording taken after 30 minutes of contact lens wear
2. Lens handling subjective score measured on a 0-100 point visual analogue scale at contact lens insertion and removal

8. Be willing and able to adhere to the instructions set in the clinical protocol and maintain the appointment schedule
Key exclusion criteria1. Ocular anterior segment infection, inflammation, abnormality, or active disease that would contraindicate contact lens wear
