Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate possible changes of angle kappa after multifocal intraocular lens implantation. Presumable influencing factors of postoperative visual axis shift (ie. biometric parameters of the eye) are investigated to determine the degree and direction of angle kappa alterations.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes of angle kappa after multifocal intraocular lens implantation.

During cataract surgery Medicontur Bi-Flex 677MY IOL and Alcon Acrysof Restor SN6AD1 IOL are implanted. Optical biometry is carried out for IOL calculation and to measure axial length and angle kappa. Three months after surgery biometry is repeated, IOL position and angle kappa are measured using Scheimpflug-camera.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measurement of changes of angle kappa after multifocal intraocular lens implantation.

    Changes in magnitude and orientation of angle kappa (deviation between the visual and pupillary axis) are measured before and after cataract surgery with multifoocal intraocular lens implantation. During pre-and postoperative examination optical biometry is carried out using Lenstar LS 900. Optical biometer determines deviation between the visual and pupillary axis that represents angle kappa. Deviation of these axes can be defined by its magnitude and orientation. Location of the pupil centre relative to the visual axis - the reference axis - is determined by x- and y-offsets using trigonometrical analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determination of influencing effect of biometrical data on postoperative visual axis shift

    Biometry data (axial length, keratometry, lens thickness, anterior chamber depth) are measured preoperatively by Lenstar LS 900 optical biometer. Their effect on changes of angle kappa is determined using statistical analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Determination of influencing effect of intraocular lens decentration on postoperative visual axis shift

    Three months after cataract surgery postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) position is determined using a rotating Scheimpflug-camera (Galilei G4). IOL decentration is obtained from the distance between the IOL centre and visual axis. The effect of possible IOL decentration on changes of angle kappa is determined using statistical analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cataract surgery in people with Cataract and Presbyopia, run by Semmelweis University.

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 29 Sep 2017. 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?

Measurement of changes of angle kappa after multifocal intraocular lens implantation. (time frame: 3 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 29 Sep 2017.
