Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Participants will be recruited by performing chart reviews of patients to be seen at University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Ophthalmology and Optometry Clinic. A sample size of at least 30 patients is needed (60 eyes). Patients aged 55 and higher will be further evaluated to meet the inclusion criteria. Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be provided with informed consent to participate in the study before their office visit. Patients will receive a consent briefing then asked to sign and date the informed consent form. Participants will then be randomized to undergo an eye exam and refractive exam with noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones for one eye and without for the other eye. Participants will fill out a written survey asking them to rate the quality of the eye exam with and without headphones. Primary aim: Assess the quality improvement of Ophthalmic exam in geriatric patients with hearing loss with use of noise cancelling headphones with Bluetooth feature. Secondary aims: 1)Compare the response to the standardized questions with and without Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones to determine their effectiveness in conducting Ophthalmic refractive exam. 2\) Explore the ease of conducting refractive exam as reported by provider.
