About this study

Official title: Capsular Bag Performance of a Hydrophilic and a Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lens of Similar Design

Comparison of the capsular bag performance of the RayOne Hydrophobic Aspheric with the RayOne Aspheric

Read the detailed description

Cataract surgery is nowadays considered a safe surgery with a short rehabilitation time for the patients. Two main problems arising post-surgically are the predictability and stability of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular back and the formation of posterior capsule opacification (PCO). The performance of the IOL in the capsular bag influences the anterior chamber depth (ACD), tilt and decentration of the IOL, as well as formation of PCO. The main source of error for calculation of IOL power is an inaccurate prediction of the post-surgical ACD resulting in short- or farsightedness. Furthermore, capsular fibrosis and phimosis can also lead to tilt and decentration of the intraocular lens.

PCO is one of the most frequent long-term complications after cataract surgery, occuring in about 12% after 1 year, in 21% after 3 years, and in 28% after 5 years post-surgically. PCO arises when lens epithelial cells (LECs) migrate and proliferate, growing in between the IOL and the posterior capsule, leading to decreased visual acuity.

Material and design of the IOL may have an effect on the formation of PCO. It is suggested that 360° square edge design and hydrophobic material of the IOL may help in the prevention of PCO.

Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate the capsular bag performance of monofocal IOLs with different materials but similar design and their influence on PCO formation.

100 eyes of 50 patients will be included into this study. After randomization one eye is implanted with the hydrophilic IOL, whereas the other eye gets the aspherical IOL. Follow-up visits will be 1 - 2 hours and 1 week after the surgery, as well as 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post-surgically. During this visit a slit lamp examination, measurement of the intraocular pressure, visual acuity assessment, biometrical measurements of the eye, retroillumination photography and analysis of tilt and decentration of the IOL using the purkinjemeter will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anterior chamber depth (ACD)

    The change in anterior chamber depth (ACD) before and after surgery will be measured using the IOL Master 700 and compared between the two different IOLs

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Distance visual acuity

    Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity will be determined using ETDRS-charts in a distance of 4 meters and differences in refraction will be compared between the two IOLs

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Intraocular pressure

    Intraocular pressure will be measured before and after surgery using non-contact-tonometry and differences will be compared between the two differen IOLs

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydrophobic IOL and Non-hydrophobic IOL in people with Cataract, run by Prim. Prof. Dr. Oliver Findl, MBA at 1 site in Austria.

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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2021. 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 Austria. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Anterior chamber depth (ACD) (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 10 Aug 2021.
