About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Premium Monovision and Bilateral Implantation of Trifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lenses

Primary objective of this study is to compare two presbyopia correction surgical techniques, specificaly premium monovision, in which the dominant eye is corrected with an extended depth of field intraocular lens and the non-dominant eye with a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens, and the bilateral implantation of trifocal diffractive intraocular lenses.

Read the detailed description

Two study groups will be formed. The first group will include patients who undergone premium monovision and the second will include patients who undergone bilateral implantation of trifocal diffractive intraocular lenses. Patients who have undergone one of the aforementioned categories of presbyopia correction surgery will be selected in order to compare the effectiveness of these techniques by evaluating uncorrected near, intermediate and distant visual acuity, uncorrected Critical Print Size (CPS) in near and intermediate distance, dysphotopic phenomena (glare, halos) through a 4-level severity scale by patients, contrast sensitivity, the need of use glasses for all distances or separately for activities requiring near or distant vision as well as the degree of subjective satisfaction of patient via interview (NEI-VFQ 25). The purpose of measuring these parameters is to calculate, through a mathematical model, the relative effectiveness of each method.

What participants receive

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

  • bUDVA, bUIRA, bUNRA, bUICPS, bUNCPSDiagnostic test

    All participants will be assessed on the following clinical indexes:

    1. Binocular uncorrected distant visual acuity (bUDVA) at four meters distance
    2. Binocular uncorrected intermediate reading acuity (bUIRA) at 60 cm
    3. Binocular uncorrected near reading acuity (bUNVA) at 40 cm
    4. Binocular uncorrected intermediate Critical Print Size (bUICPS) at 60 cm
    5. Binocular uncorrected near Critical Print Size (bUNCPS) at 40 cm

    All the above parameters are obtained using the Democritus Digital Acuity \& Reading Test (DDART).

  • Contrast sensitivityDiagnostic test

    Contrast sensitivity is assessed with the Pelli-Robson test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Binocular uncorrected distant visual acuity (bUDVA)

    bUDVA is obtained using the distance vision test of DDART at four meters distance.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Binocular uncorrected intermediate reading acuity (bUIRA)

    bUIRA is obtained using the near vision test of DDART at 60 cm distance.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Binocular uncorrected near reading acuity (bUNRA)

    bUNRA is obtained using the near vision test of DDART at 40 cm distance.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Binocular uncorrected intermediate critical print size (bUICPS)

    bUICPS is obtained using the near vision test of DDART at 60 cm distance.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Binocular uncorrected near critical print size (bUNCPS)

    bUNCPS is obtained using the near vision test of DDART at 40 cm distance.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Dysphotopsia symptoms

    Dysphotopsia is evaluated with two direct 4-scale, Likert-type questions (Always, Most of the times, Sometimes, Never) assessing subjective appearance of glare and halos.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Contrast sensitivity

    Contrast sensitivity is evaluated with the Pelli-Robson test.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Spectacle independence

    Spectacle dependence is assessed for both distant and near vision by two direct 4-scale Likert-type questions (Always, Most of the times, Sometimes, Never).

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Subjective satisfaction using Visual Function Index (VF-14) (total score, VF14-Near Vision (NV) score & VF14-Distance Vision (DV) score)

    Subjective satisfaction rates are assessed using the prevalent VF-14 questionnaire. Further to the total VF-14 score assessment, two additional scores are calculated: a) Near vision VF score (VF14-NV) derived from items that assess the perceived difficulty in near vision activities (items 1,2,3,7,8,9 and 11), and, b) Distant vision VF score (VF14-DV) derived from items that assess the perceived difficulty of distant vision activities (items 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13 and 14).

    VF-14 has a final score from 0 to 100. A score of 100 indicates able to do all applicable activities. A score of 0 indicates unable to do all applicable activities because of vision.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Presbyopia and Refractive Errors, run by Democritus University of Thrace at 1 site in Greece.

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 4 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 18 Jun 2023. 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 Greece. 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 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?

Binocular uncorrected distant visual acuity (bUDVA) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 5 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 NCT05494177, 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 18 Jun 2023.
