Trial summary

Late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation occurs up to 30 years after cataract surgery and the prevalence ranges from 0.1% to 3.0%. Before the introduction of the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, late dislocation was very uncommon but since then several case reports and case series were observed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Late Dislocation and Haptic Deformation of a Hydrophilic Intraocular Lens: Characteristics, Incidence Rates and Predisposing Factors

Late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation occurs up to 30 years after cataract surgery and the prevalence ranges from 0.1% to 3.0%. Before the introduction of the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, late dislocation was very uncommon but since then several case reports and case series were observed. In-the-bag IOL dislocation is a well-known postoperative complication, especially in eyes with weak zonules as seen in pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF), high axial myopia, uveitis and retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

In this retrospective study, medical records of all patients with IOL related problems after implantation of one hydrophilic acrylic single-piece lens at the Department of Ophthalmology Graz, Medical University Graz, Styria, Austria are reviewed. Characteristics and predisposing factors for late in-the-bag, out-of-the-bag IOL dislocations, and haptic complications will be investigated and compared amongst each other or control patients. Incidence rates for each IOL complication will be calculated. For in-the-bag dislocations odds ratios for each predisposing factor will be calculated.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective cohort study. Data of all patients treated at the hospital from June 1997 to October 2015 for a complication after IOL implantation will be obtained from an electronic medical record and database (FileMaker Inc., v3 - 6 and EyMed). Additional data, e.g. axial length (AL) or diopters of the implanted IOL, are taken from the patients' medical files. Collected data are age, sex, laterality of the eye, and predisposing eye conditions (PXF, relevant myopia defined as ≥ 25.5 mm axial length, uveitis, RP and ocular trauma). Other parameters are preoperative surgical interventions, the use of a capsular tension ring (CTR), perioperative complications, diopters of the IOL, pre- and postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) in logMAR, and post-operative manifest refraction. Time to dislocation, additional interventions after cataract surgery, and symptoms due to the IOL complication will recorded. Type of dislocation (in-the-bag or out-of-the-bag), location (anterior chamber, pupillary plane or vitreous), pre- and post-operative CDVA, pre- and post-operative manifest refraction, type of secondary intervention, and in case secondary implantation was performed, type of secondary IOL are collected.

Differences regarding prevalence for various predisposing risk factors are investigated by means of logistic regression methods. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are calculated unadjusted as well as adjusted for age, gender, and the four predisposing risk factors: PXF, relevant myopia, uveitis, and RP. Prevalence and incidence of in-the-bag IOL dislocations will be calculated from all patients that had an implantation of the ACR6D SE at the Department of Ophthalmology in Graz.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Complications, run by Medical University of Graz.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 22 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Occurrence of a late IOL complication (in-the-bag dislocation, out-of-the-bag dislocation and haptic bag dislocation) (time frame: 1997-2007 (retrospective)). 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 22 Apr 2016.
