Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the IC-8 IOL implanted in patients with complex corneas after crystalline lens removal.
Most of the patients presenting for cataract surgery also have pre-existing corneal astigmatism which if left uncorrected can adversely affect visual and refractive outcomes after cataract surgery. Pre-existing astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery can be corrected by either corneal relaxing incisions or implantation of toric IOLs. While the safety and efficacy of these procedures are well established, there are various challenges associated with these techniques that surgeons need to overcome to achieve good outcomes postoperatively. The use of iris registration technology that automatically compensates for cyclotorsion has the potential to improve the alignment accuracy of CRI or toric IOLs. The Cassini Ambient and Catalys Femtosecond Laser incorporate this technology to help cataract surgeons accurately align toric IOLs on the intended axis of implantation or accurately place CRI on the intended meridian. The present study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy of astigmatism correction during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with Catalys femtosecond laser. The patients will either undergo iris registration guided CRIs or iris registration guided alignment of toric IOLs.
The objective of this study is to assess the rate of early intraocular pressure (IOP) increases following implantation of EVO/EVO+ Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL).
The aim of the study is to compare functional results and complications of 3 methods of cataract phacoemulsification: bimanual 1.4 mm cataract surgery (B-MICS), coaxial 1.8 mm cataract surgery (C-MICS) and coaxial 2.4 mm small incision cataract surgery.
In an aging population, cataract and presbyopia become increasingly common. A cataract is the opacification of the natural crystalline lens inside a person's eye, causing reduction of vision. Presbyopia is an age related condition resulting in loss of reading/near vision which results in requiring reading glasses. Astigmatism is a common condition characterized by an abnormal cornea (the clear tissue at the front of the eye) which results in blurred distance and near vision, again requiring glasses. Cataract surgery is the most common elective surgery worldwide for patients over 65. It is composed of removal the cataract and insertion of a new intraocular lens (IOL). Currently only monofocal IOLs are available on the National Health Service (United Kingdom) - meaning they give good distance or near vision. The majority of patients opt for good distance vision with glasses to read. The investigators are trialling insertion of a new Extended Depth of Focus (enhanced aspheric) Toric IOL (EDoF Toric IOL), which treats all 3 conditions - cataract, presbyopia and astigmatism. All patients attending St Thomas' hospital for treatment of cataracts, who have presbyopia and astigmatism will be considered for invitation to the study. Patients who participate in the study will be randomly selected to receive either the new IOL - the TECNIS Eyhance Toric II IOL, or a well-established IOL the Alcon Acrysof IQ Toric IOL during cataract surgery. Insertion of the Alcon Acrysof IQ Toric IOL is known to treat cataract and astigmatism but not presbyopia. Patients will be assessed and have their surgery performed at St Thomas' Hospital London. They will have 7 appointments over 12 months, plus surgery. The investigators hope to demonstrate better distance, intermediate and near vision and increased spectacle independence in the TECNIS Eyhance Toric II IOL group. EDoF Toric IOLs have the potential to transform cataract surgery outcomes for patients in the NHS.
To subjectively evaluate Dailies Total1® contact lenses for astigmatism (DT1fA) performance compared to other common weekly/monthly contact lenses in symptomatic patients.
Comparing post-operative visual acuity and patient reported satisfaction between Contoura with Phorcides and WaveLight Wavefront Optimized.
Multicenter, prospective, single-arm, observational, non-interventional post market clinical investigation (registry study) with the overall objective to assess safety and performance of CLEAR in a real world setting.
The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate noninferiority in the visual acuity at distance when wearing PRECISION1™ for Astigmatism (P1fA) soft contact lenses compared to another commercially available, soft toric contact lens, MyDay® toric (MDT).
Corneal astigmatism is refractive error that impairs uncorrected visual acuity. When patients undergo cataract surgery, implantation of toric IOL is deemed the most effective choice for correcting corneal astigmatism and reducing postoperative spectacle dependence. Previous studies report that the visual effects and rotational stability of toric IOLs are well maintained over 1- or 2-year follow-up periods. However, the long-term changes in the effects of toric IOLs remain unclear.
