VisionApp - Ghosting

Subjects will be enrolled at the Clinical Optics Research Lab at Indiana University.

At the study visit, demographic and health/ocular history may be collected by oral history and standard clinical testing including refraction (check of glasses prescription), auto-refraction or abbrerometry may be performed. Visual acuity and room lighting checks may also be measured using standard clinical techniques.

For the experimental portion of the study visit, participants will be asked to look at letters and describe any shadows or distortions they see using slider bars or numerical rating scales, while wearing different contact lenses. Participants will first be asked to wear commercially available single vision contact lenses to establish best corrected vision. A single vision lens will then remain in one eye, and participants will proceed with ghosting assessments using two different multifocal contact lenses worn in the other eye. Adult participants will perform the ghosting assessments while wearing 2 commercially available multifocal lenses, and children participants will perform the ghosting assessments while wearing a commercially available and investigational lens. Randomization will determine which lens is worn first.

If participants are unable to complete all testing in a single session, they may be permitted to return on a subsequent day.
