Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To clarify the usefulness of the new portable Fresnel magnifying loupe in spontaneous nystagmus observation, we will compare its nystagmus observation ability with conventional Frenzel goggles and the naked eye.

Results

In observations of nystagmus induced by the caloric test, the visual impact of the loupe was not inferior tothat of Frenzel goggles.
The mean slow-phase velocity of nystagmus recorded with the loupe was significantly higher than that observed with the naked eye.
Nystagmus weakened under bright lighting could be recovered by the loupe as fixation was blocked and the direction of the nystagmus could be defined.

Baseline Characteristics

Fifteen healthy participants with no history of visual impairment or dizziness were enrolled.

Participant flow

Written informed consent was obtained from all participants after providing a written explanation of the purpose and methods of the study.
This study was approved by the Medical Research Ethics Committee of Mejiro University (Approval number: 23 medicine-006).
All procedures were performed in accordance with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments.

Adverse events

One participant refused second test owing to discomfort from dizziness induced by the caloric test.
The symptoms improved after resting for about 10 minutes.

Outcome measures

VIS of Loupe compared with VIS of Frenzel.
VIS of Loupe (%) = (mean SPV of the loupe) / (mean SPV of complete darkness immediately before) x 100.
VIS of Frenzel (%) = (mean SPV of Frenzel goggles) / (mean SPV of complete darkness immediately before) x 100.

The mean SPV under the naked eye was compared with the mean SPV when using a loupe during the decay phase.

Subject recruitment:
The study will be publicized through advertising documents. Written informed consent from the participants will be obtained with explanatory documents.
Methods:
Nystagmus is induced by cold air carolic test.
The slow phase velocity is measured by ENG while observing the nystagmus with a new loupe, Frenzel goggles, and naked eye.
A video of the nystagmus will be simultaneously recorded.
Data Analysis:
Comparison of the slow phase velocities of the three observation methods by Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Evaluation of visibility by video recording.
