Filter by:The Kahook Dual Blade is a single-use device specially designed to create a clean cut in the trabecular meshwork. This ablation in the trabecular meshwork allows a better outflow of the aqueous humor, thus reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP), theoretically beyond the IOP reduction achieved by other minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices. Studies already published showed good results in terms of the reduction of the number of glaucoma medications and the reduction in the IOP, but not a single study has been performed prospectively comparing the efficacy of the technique, not even with the cataract surgery.
In this study, the investigators are comparing dexamethasone ophthalmic insert (DEXTENZA®) to the current standard of care, prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops, in a glaucoma population receiving both cataract and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). DEXTENZA® and prednisolone acetate 1% drops are both steroids used to control inflammation after eye surgery. DEXTENZA®'s method of delivery differs by offering a sustained release of steroid that does not necessitate postoperative anti-inflammatory eye drops. The investigators hypothesize that DEXTENZA® will be as safe as prednisolone acetate 1% drops and as effective at controlling postoperative inflammation following concomitant cataract-MIGS in a glaucoma population. The investigators also hypothesize that DEXTENZA® will be preferred by patients over prednisolone acetate 1% drops.
On the day of surgery, the first eye to be operated is randomised to receive a Vivinex , HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH or an SN60WF, Alcon, Fort Worth, Texas. The second eye to be operated receives the other IOL type. A complete biomicroscopic examination, visual acuity testing using autorefractometer, contrast sensitivity testing, and standardised retroillumination photography for PCO evaluation, will be performed 6 month (30-60 days), 1.5 years (± 3 months) and 3 (± 3 months) years postoperatively.
The investigational device is an approved biometry device to perform biometric measurements preoperatively to calculate the needed IOL power. First, two native measurements at the IOL Master will be performed. Thereafter randomly assigned artificial tears are instilled in the eye and biometry will be repeated within 30 seconds, as well as after 2 and 5 minutes. At least 24hours after those measurements, two native measurements at the IOL Master will be performed. Thereafter, the not yet used artificial tears are instilled in the eye and biometry will be repeated within 30 seconds, as well as after 2 and 5 minutes. Examinations will be implemented in accordance with the approved investigational plan on subjects and includes: repeated biometry without and with artificial tear drops.
The goal of this study is to evaluate subject outcomes and spectacle independence with intraoperative aberrometry and trifocal IOL implantation.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Bausch & Lomb CVisc50 cohesive OVD compared to the Alcon ProVisc® cohesive OVD when used in cataract surgery.
This study was a retrospective observational cohort analysis of subjects aged 65 years and older, who underwent bilateral cataract surgery within a single (15 hospital) healthcare system, to determine the association between type (conventional or blue-light filtering) of implanted intraocular lens and survival.
It is aimed to determine patient satisfaction (pain assessment during and after the operation) and the initial and total anesthesia durations of eye lid and globe anesthesia after administration of local anesthetic solution only in standard applied volumes (1.5-3 ml). No agents will be added to the local anesthetic agents used in the conventional retrobulbar block in patients who will undergo cataract surgery,
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double masked confirmatory trial comparing an investigational trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and a commercially available monofocal IOL.
Cataract surgery involves replacing milky lens with a plastic intraocular lens. This plastic lens can be either monofocal (fixates for distance or near without glasses), extended depth of focus (EDOF)(fixates for intermediate and distance vision only without glasses) or multifocal lenses (fixates for distance, intermediate and near vision without glasses). However, EDOF and multifocal lenses are known to produce glare and halos. Tecnis Eyhance (Johnson & Johnson, USA) is a monofocal IOL which give added intermediate vision without employing EDOF or multifocal technology and hence induces no glare and halos. Whereas monofocal IOLs such as RayOne do not give intermediate vision. The objective is to assess visual and optical performance of Tecnis Eyhance versus Rayner RayOne in a prospective, randomized, comparative bilateral study. The proposed study will be the first study comparing the new technology monofocal Eyhance with conventional RayOne Rayner lens to assess the added benefits of Eyhance technology at multiple visits until 3 months after the surgery. Patients attending the clinics with cataracts will be invited to participate in this randomised study. They will be randomised to receive either Eyhance or RayOne in both eyes through surgeries performed not more than 2 weeks apart. The patients will be followed up at 1 and 3 months in the research clinic to assess the uniocular and binocular vision, spectacle prescription, a simple non-invasive scan to look at any distortions in the optics of the eye (wavefront aberrometry) and questionnaire for assessing subjective outcomes, glare and halos.
