Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective randomised open-label study with the aim to compare the visual performance of the premium monofocal Isopure IOL versus the extended depth of focus Eyhance® IOL after phaco-emulsification cataract surgery.

Description:

This is a single center, prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blind post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have bilateral implantation of premium monofocal intraocular lenses (PhysIOL ISOPURE 1.2.3.) or EDOF lenses (TECNIS Eyhance). The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive the study or control lenses. Both IOLs, investigational device and control device, are CE approved and commercially available in the countries this clinical investigation is being carried out. The investigational device and all study products, including the devices used for the study examinations, will be used within the intended use specifications from the manufacturer. In addition, no invasive or other burdening examinations will occur for the patient.

The device under investigation (ISOPURE 1.2.3.) is a hydrophobic, glistening-free, acrylic premium monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) manufactured by the sponsor of this study, PhysIOL sa/nv. The control lens (TECNIS Eyhance) is a non-diffractive Extended Vision Posterior Chamber IOL.

The IOLs will be implanted as part of the routine cataract surgery on patients suffering from cataract development.

Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of 6 study visits (1 preoperative, 1 operative and 4 postoperative) over a period of 6 months. Subjects would have the option for unscheduled visits if required medically.

Primary and secondary endpoint data will be collected at the 120-180 days follow up visit.
