About this study

Official title: Assessment of Clinical and Refractive Outcomes of the Use of a Femtosecond to Treat the Symptoms of Presbyopia in a Patient With Implanted Mono Focal IOLs

This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of treating presbyopia in eyes implanted with a mono focal IOL using a low-energy femtosecond laser.

Read the detailed description

An investigative device built by Perfect Lens was used to adjust an implanted IOL in 38 eyes.

The device uses a femtosecond laser, a scanner, and an OCT. Each patient was presbyopic pre-treatment. The primary endpoint for the treatment was to create near vision in the treated eye without sacrificing the existing far vision. The first patient was treated in October 2023 and the last patient was treated in July 2024. The last patient visit was in November 2024.

The patients were examined at 7 days, 30 days and 90 days after treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) at 40 cm

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) using the manifest refraction and the hand-held, 100% contrast, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 40 centimeters (cm) on the nearpoint rod. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    The hypothesis tested for is to demonstrate superiority of the near vision of treated IOL to the IOL pre-treatment.

    Measured: 1 month after treatment

  2. Distance corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) at 66 cm

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) using the manifest refraction and the hand-held, 100% contrast, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 66 centimeters (cm) on the nearpoint rod. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    The hypothesis tested for is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the treated IOL to the pre-treated IOL (using a non-inferiority margin of 0.10 logMAR).

    Measured: 1 month after treatment

  3. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) at 4 m

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) using the manifest refraction adjusted for infinity and stand Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 4 meters (m) on the nearpoint rod. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    The hypothesis tested for the co-primary effectiveness endpoint is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the treated IOL to the pre-treatment IOL (using a non-inferiority margin of 0.10 logMAR).

    Measured: 1 month after treatment

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA)

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) adjusted for infinity and stand Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 4 meters (m) on the nearpoint rod. Without the manifest refraction. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  2. Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity at 66 cm (UIVA)

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) using 100% contrast, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 66 centimeters (cm) on the nearpoint rod. Without manifest refraction. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  3. Uncorrected near visual acuity at 40 cm (UNVA)

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) using 100% contrast, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 40 centimeters (cm) on the nearpoint rod. Without manifest refraction. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  4. Corrected near visual acuity at 40 cm (CNVA)

    Visual acuity (VA) was tested monocularly and binocularly (both eyes together) using manifest refraction100% contrast, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart set at 40 centimeters (cm) on the nearpoint rod. VA was measured in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) increments, with 0.1 logMAR corresponding to 5 letters, or 1 line, on the ETDRS chart. A lower logMAR value denotes better visual acuity.

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  5. Defocus curve

    To assess the defocus curve the same optotype as for the distance visual acuity will be used. The test will be performed with the best distance corrected refraction and spherical additions between -5.0 D to +1.5 D in 0.5 D steps. Defocus curve will be performed monocularly. The patient will be presented with the spherical additions in the order from -5.0 D to +1.5 D.

    Measured: 1month and 3 months after treatment

  6. Contrast sensitivity

    Contrast sensitivity testing will be performed monocularly with the distance-corrected study eye under photopic with glare, mesopic and mesopic with glare conditions using CSV 1000. The testing will be performed at spatial frequencies of 3, 6, and 12 and 18 cycles/degree.

    Mesopic contrast sensitivity testing (3 cd/m2) using mesopic filter installed in the patient trial frame, will be performed prior to the photopic testing (85 cd/m2). A minimum of 5 minutes should be provided for the patient's eye dark adaptation before the beginning of the mesopic contrast testing in a room with photopic light conditions.

    The ambient illumination should be lower or at most equal to the chart luminance. The mesopic testing without glare will be performed first before testing with glare source provided with the testing device

    Measured: 3 months after treatment

  7. Subjective refraction

    The assessment of refraction, which includes sphere (D), cylinder (D), and axis (°), will be conducted through subjective and objective methods. Objective refraction will follow standard clinical practice and will be performed by the Investigator or trained staff. Subjective testing will be conducted using trial frames instead of a phoropter. Consistency in the refractive technique should be maintained throughout the entire study duration. Test optotypes such as Sloan letters (e.g., ETDRS charts) will be used.

    The cylinder value should be recorded in negative notation. Cylinder refraction should be performed for every patient. If the cylinder refraction is zero, the cylinder axis should be marked as not applicable. A pre-sign for the sphere is only necessary for negative values. If no pre-sign is entered, it indicates a positive value

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  8. Near addition

    Monocular CNVA with near addition. Designed to create additional foci in the implanted IOL which will give near vision without loss of far vision.

    Measured: 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment

  9. Slit Lamp examination findings

    Slit lamp examination will be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope. The subject will be seated. During this examination the eyes might be dilated depending on doctors' decision. The following will be examined during the examination conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, iris, eyelid. Magnification will be consistent with standard clinical practise.

    The observation will be graded as normal or abnormal. In case of abnormal observations subjective graded according to the grading scales will be used. The abnormal grading will then be graded as clinical significant or not clinically significant. In case of clinically significant observation the event will be specified and will be collected as adverse events.

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  10. Fundus examination findings

    To examine the retinal integrity and document the safety of the procedure a full fundus examination will be performed using a slit lamp and dilated pupil for a clear view.

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  11. Intraocular pressure

    The intraocular pressure (IOP) will be measured using air tonometry

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  12. Spectacle independence questionnaire

    The questionnaire in the Czech language will be explained to the patient and handed over by the staff. It consists of 9 questions with multiple-choice answers as standard.

    The questions request answers on the following scale: All the time / Most of the time / Sometimes / Rarely / Never.

    The best response is never.

    Measured: 3 months after treatment

  13. QoV patient questionnaire

    The questionnaire in the Czech language will be explained to the patient and handed over by the staff. It consists of 10 questions as standard. All of the questions have 4 possible answers: Never / Occasionally / Often / Frequently. The worst outcome is frequently.

    Measured: 3 months after treatment

  14. Adverse Events

    During the course of the planned clinical investigation, utmost attention will be given to detecting any potential adverse events or unfavourable discoveries.All findings related to adverse events must be documented in the "Adverse Event (AE)" section of the subject's worksheets (CRFs). These events are categorized as either serious or non-serious, as well as related or unrelated to the investigational device/procedure. The method of reporting or documenting these adverse events varies depending on their category (serious or non-serious).

    Measured: 1 week, 1month and 3 months after treatment

  15. Device deficiency

    An inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety usability, safety or performance. Device deficiencies include includes malfunctions, use errors, and inadequacy in the information supplied by the manufacturer including labelling. This definition includes device deficiencies related to the investigational medical device. DD can become (might lead to) serious adverse events (SAE) if:

    1. suitable action had not been taken, or
    2. intervention had not been made, or
    3. if circumstances had been less fortunate These DDs are handled using the SAE reporting system.

    Measured: 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
