Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intervention = a standard ophthalmic consultation assisted by an interactive virtual three-dimensional eye model (One Right Eye) on the doctor’s computer. The One Right Eye (ORE) is a virtual, interactive, three-dimensional model of the right human eye that can be loaded on any smart device with internet access (onerighteye.com). The model uses innovative digital tools to create a detailed, immersive simulation of common eye conditions and how they progress. The use of the virtual eye model during the consult is at the doctor's discretion.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Randomisation will occur via the opaque envelope approach whereby sealed opaque envelopes are thoroughly shuffled and placed in a stack at the nurses’ station at the ophthalmology clinic.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation: taking the opaque envelope at the top of a shuffled stack.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
