Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized, head-to-head, investigator-sponsored clinical study. It aims to investigate the vision recovery and patient comfort in borderline/mild dry eye disease patients undergoing FLACS with Premium PCIOL (i.e., Panoptix, Toric IOL (spherical/multifocal), ReStor, Symfony), receiving a 0.4mg dexamethasone intracanalicular insert when compared to patients receiving standard of care prednisolone acetate 1%.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized, head-to-head, investigator-sponsored clinical study. It aims to investigate the vision recovery and patient comfort in borderline/mild dry eye disease patients undergoing FLACS with Premium PCIOL (i.e., Panoptix, Toric IOL (spherical/multifocal), ReStor, Symfony), receiving a 0.4mg dexamethasone intracanalicular insert when compared to patients receiving standard of care prednisolone acetate 1%. After screening a given patient for inclusion and exclusion criteria, and gaining informed consent, a total of 30 patients will be randomized into two groups: Group 1: 15 patients will undergo bilateral FLACS + Premium PCIOL in separate days and will receive a 0.4mg dexamethasone intracanalicular insert at the days of each surgery. Group 2: 15 patients will undergo bilateral FLACS + Premium PCIOL in separate days and will receive prednisolone acetate 1% QID/ 1 week, TID/ 1 week, BID/1 week, QD/ 1 week regimen starting at the days of each surgery. All patient eyes will receive Prolensa 0.07% ophthalmic solution QD for 4 weeks starting 3 days prior to surgery and Besivance 0.6% eye drops TID/starting 3 days prior to surgery. Per enrolled eye, the study period will last for approximately 30 days after surgery, consisting of three postop follow-up visits (six total postop visits per patient). At Day 1, Day 7 and Day 30, primary and secondary endpoints will be assessed alongside standard-of-care procedures. SPEED questionnaire will be assessed by a masked survey administrator. Adjusting for enrollment period, the study will last a total of approximately 12 months, including submission for publication/ presentation. ;
