Trial summary

Given the availability of aspheric diffractive IOLs with varying negative spherical aberration it may be feasible, by selecting the best fit IOL, to minimize aberrations and thereby maximize visual performance. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Scheduled to undergo bilateral cataract or refractive lens surgery
  • Visual potential of 20/30 or better in each eye after lens removal and IOL implantation
  • Naturally dilated pupil size (in dim light) > 3.5 mm (with no dilation medications) for both eyes
  • Preoperative regular corneal astigmatism of 2.5 D or less
  • Clear intraocular media other than cataract
  • Availability, willingness, and sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures

Who cannot join

  • Ocular disease other than cataract which could potentially limit uncorrected visual acuity or visual performance.
  • Astigmatism not correctable by limbal relaxing incisions (greater than 2.5 D)
  • Use of systemic or ocular medications that may affect visual outcomes
  • Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase risk or confound study results (e.g. diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised, etc.)
  • Uncontrolled systemic or ocular disease
  • History of ocular trauma or prior ocular surgery
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Amblyopia or strabismus
  • Known pathology that may affect visual acuity; particularly retinal changes that affect vision (macular degeneration, cystoid macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, etc.)
  • Diagnosed degenerative visual disorders (e.g. macular degeneration, or other retinal disorders) that are predicted to cause future acuity losses to a level of worse than 20/30
  • Subjects who may be expected to require retinal laser treatment or other surgical intervention
  • Capsule or zonular abnormalities that may affect postoperative centration or tilt of the lens (e.g. pseudoexfoliation syndrome)
  • Pupil abnormalities (non-reactive, tonic pupils or abnormally shaped pupils)
  • Contact lens usage within 6 months for PMMA lenses, 1 month for gas permeable lenses or 1 week for extended-wear and daily-wear soft lenses
  • Requiring an intraocular lens power <15.0 or >26.0 diopters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tecnis® Multifocal (TMF) in people with Cataracts, run by Mark Packer, MD, FACS at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 28 Feb 2014. 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 United States. 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?

Frequency of spectacle wear (time frame: 3 months postoperatively). 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 28 Feb 2014.
