A Study Comparing Two Monofocal, Aspheric, Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lenses: the Alcon CLAREON® and the Abbott Medical Optics PCB00
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a bilateral randomised controlled study to compare visual performance, refractive outcome, forward light scatter, patient satisfaction and objective measurement of glistenings following insertion of two monofocal, aspheric, hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs). A new product is compared with an established one.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual acuity [13 months]
As measured by conventional LogMAR visual acuity charts
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of intraocular lens glistenings [13 months]
Incidence of presence of intraocular lens glistenings in each study arm
- Severity of intraocular lens glistenings [13 months]
Number of vacuoles per square millimetre
- Refraction (i.e. glasses prescription) [13 months]
In conventional sphere/cylinder dioptre scales: total range -40 to +40, in 0.25 steps. Higher values represent worse outcome. Values closer to 0 (zero) represent better outcome
Other Outcome Measures
- Forward light scatter [13 months]
Intraocular (forward) light scatter is measured with a specifically devised computerised vision test. It is represented by straylight parameter, Log(s), on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 1.5. The lower the value (i.e. closer to 0), the better the outcome.
- Contrast sensitivity [13 months]
Visual acuity (LogMAR scale: total range -0.2 to 1.0 in 0.02 steps) measured at different contrasts with a computerized contrast sensitivity chart. Negative values, or values closer to 0, represent better outcome.
- Patient satisfaction [13 months]
Validated patient satisfaction questionnaire. We use specially designed and validated conversion tables to convert raw scores from questionnaires to Rasch calibrated measures.
- Self-reported health [13 months]
Validated self-reported health questionnaire. We use a vertical Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to record patients' self-reported health on a scale from 0-100 (values closer or equal to 100 represent better outcome).
