About this study

Official title: Refractive Outcomes of Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery in Eyes With Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

To evaluate the refractive outcomes of cataract surgery in PEX syndrome and determine which of the commonly used IOL formulas (SRK/T, Barrett Universal II and Hill-RBF) is the best in predicting postoperative refractive outcomes in PEX.

Read the detailed description

The primary outcome measure was to compare refractive outcomes (MAE, MedAE, percentage of eyes within certain range of prediction error) in PEX and control eyes. The secondary outcome measure was to determine whether any of IOL power prediction formulas (SRK/T, Barrett Universal II and Hill-RBF) is more precise for these challenging eyes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Phacoemulsification cataract surgeryProcedure or surgery

    All surgeries were performed using Infinity (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) under topical anaesthesia by one surgeon through 2.2 mm incision in the upper corneal limbus. The hydroimplantation of IOL to the capsular bag was performed in all cases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Refractive Errors and Cataract, run by Medical University of Lublin.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2021. 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?

To compare refractive outcomes in PEX and control eyes. (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT04783909, 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 5 Mar 2021.
