About this study

Official title: Assessment of Long-term Intraocular Lens (IOL) Decentration and Tilt in Eyes With Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PES) Following Cataract Surgery

To evaluate long-term intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) following cataract surgery using Visante anterior segment OCT and iTrace Visual Function Analyzer.

Read the detailed description

64 eyes following cataract surgery from 2009 to 2012 were included, 34 eyes had PES, 30 eyes did not show PES. A standard phacoemulsification procedure followed by IOL implantation was performed and patients were followed 4-6 years after surgery (mean=69 months). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and capsulorhexis size were measured. IOL tilt and IOL decentration were evaluated using Visante Omni anterior segment OCT (Carl Zeiss Jena GmBH, Germany). The iTrace VFA (Visual Function Analyzer, Topcon Medical Systems, Inc.) was used to measure internal, corneal and total optical aberrations.

What is being measured

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

  1. IOL decentration

    decentration of IOL is measured using Hoya iTrace

    Measured: 4-6 years after cataract surgery

  2. IOL tilt

    tilt of implanted IOL is measured using Hoya iTace

    Measured: 4-6 years after cataract surgery

  3. IOL decentration

    decentration of IOL is measured using Zeiss OCT

    Measured: 4-6 years after cataract surgery

  4. IOL tilt

    tilt of implanted IOL is measured using Zeiss OCT

    Measured: 4-6 years after cataract surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract and Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, run by Hospital Hietzing.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 8 Mar 2018. 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?

IOL decentration (time frame: 4-6 years after cataract surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Mar 2018.
