Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A multi-centre non-randomized clinical investigation to assess multifocal visual outcomes using different near additions, for the treatment of aphakia after cataract removal.
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual acuity at distance and near [1 year]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Range of clear vision [1 year]
- Reading speed [1 year]
- Cntrast sensitivity [1 year]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age-related cataract patients undergoing cataract surgery where the cataractous lens has been removed by phacoemulsification, with circular tear capsulotomy, leaving the posterior capsule intact
-
Patients requiring primary IOL implantation
-
Patients with a potential corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better on clinical assessment
-
Patients with normal anterior segments - apart from cataracts
-
Subjects with clear intraocular media other than cataract
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Pre-existing pathology or physiology, which may be aggravated by the implant, or may render the implant ineffective and that could potentially cause future acuity losses to a level of 0.5 or 20/40 or worse in either eye. This includes the following:
-
Microphthalmia
-
Corneal decompensation or Endothelial Insufficiency
-
Pseudo exfoliation
-
High myopia
-
Pars planitis
-
Patient with greater than 1 dioptre of pre-operative corneal astigmatism
-
Subjects who are expected to require retinal laser treatment
-
Previous intraocular and/or corneal surgery
-
History of uveitis, glaucoma, proliferative diabetic retinopathy or IDDM, pseudoexfoliation, macular degeneration that may affect potential best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better
-
Operative complications of posterior capsular rupture, zonular dehiscence, incomplete continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, severe iris /corneal trauma and inability to achieve secure placement in the designated location
-
Subjects using a systemic medication that is known to cause ocular side effects
-
Subjects participating in a concurrent clinical trial or if they have participated in an ophthalmology clinical trial within the last 30 days
-
Subjects who have only one eye with potentially good vision
-
Patients who are not willing to cooperate in the 6-months follow-up period
-
Children under the age of 18 years
