  • Ages 50 to 79 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must have a clinically documented diagnosis of age-related cataract that is considered amenable to treatment with standard phacoemulsification/extracapsular cataract extraction.
  • Subjects must be undergoing primary intraocular lens implantation for the correction of aphakia following continuous curvilinear anterior capsulotomy and phacoemulsification cataract extraction.
  • Subjects must require a lens power from 15 to 30 diopters.
  • Subjects must have a visual potential of 20/40 or better in the study eye.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with any anterior segment pathology for which extracapsular phacoemulsification cataract surgery would be contraindicated.
  • Subjects with any inflammation or edema (swelling) of the cornea.
  • Subjects with uncontrolled glaucoma or glaucoma under current treatment in the study eye or with ocular hypertension.
  • Subjects with previous retinal detachment.
  • Subjects with diabetic retinopathy (proliferative or non-proliferative).
  • Subjects with rubella, bilateral congenital, traumatic, or complicated cataract.
  • Subjects who have had previous ocular surgery in the planned operative eye, excluding ocular adnexa surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing The Bausch & Lomb Akreos TL IOL (MI60) posterior chamber IOL in people with Cataract and Aphakia, run by Bausch & Lomb Incorporated at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bast Corrected Visual Acuity (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2011.
