About this study

Official title: Randomised, Controlled Study Comparing Use of "Off the Shelf" Toric Lenses, With Set Cylindrical Corrections (2.00D or 4.00D) and Combined Limbal Relaxing Incisions and/or Off-axis Lens Rotation, With Fully Targeted Toric Lens Correction.

To assess visual performance, refractive outcome, and patient satisfaction with the use of "off the shelf" toric lenses, with a set cylindrical correction of 2.00 or 4.00 diopters, and combined limbal relaxing incisions and/or off-axis intraocular lens rotation, compared to fully targeted toric intraocular lens correction.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate a simplified, more cost-effective procedure for the use of toric intraocular lenses, with a focus on suitability for NHS cataract surgery. This study will involve the use of standard, "off-the-shelf" toric lenses rather than having them specifically tailored and ordered for each individual patient. Eligible participants (>1.25 D of corneal astigmatism) will be randomised, receiving a toric IOL with either a 2.00 or 4.00 diopter (D) correction, depending on the degree of pre-operative astigmatism, or a toric IOL individually tailored to and ordered for each patients' precise degree of corneal astigmatism. With the "off the shelf" toric IOL group the correction of the astigmatic refractive error will be refined with the use of adjunctive limbal relaxing incisions LRIs and/or off axis rotation of the toric IOL (based on a standardized protocol) so the full amount of corneal astigmatism can be targeted for correction for each patient. The clinical outcome will then be measured and compared between the 2 groups. Independent safety monitoring will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 'Off the shelf' toric lens and Tailored Toric lens in people with Cataract and Astigmatism, run by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Khayam Naderi, MBBS BSc MA (020 7188 7188 ext. 84331, khayam.naderi@gstt.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Acuities (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04122651, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
