Intraocular Lens Clinical Trial

Official title: Distance and Intermediate Visual Acuity in Patients With Implanted Monofocal Negative Aspheric Intraocular Lens

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To get the visual outcomes for distance and intermediate and binocular defocus curve in patients with implanted monofocal intraocular lens Clareon (IOL; model SY60CL; Alcon Vision LLC) at 3 months after the surgery.

Clinical Trial Description

The goal of refractive cataract surgery is to remove the opacity, or cataract and to produce the desired refractive outcome. In most cases, the desired outcome is an emmetropic eye, or an eye that sees 20/20 Snellen for distance vision post-surgery with the implant of a monofocal IOL. This, however, does not offer much in the way of intermediate and near vision. The increased desire for simultaneous distance, intermediate and near vision has increased the popularity of multifocal IOLs (MIOLs). However MIOLs provide visual acuity for all distances, they has occurence of optical phenomena such as glare and halo and lower contrast sensitivity. Extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens should provide distance vision as good as monofocal lens and intermediate vision better than monofocal but without or with less appearance of optical phenomenon or decreased contrast sensitivity.

This study is prospective, multi-center, conducted from 10/2022 to 08/2023 in the Ophthalmology department of Faculty Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady in Prague, in Eye Center Prague and Eye Clinic SOMICH (Karlovy Vary). The research protocol was explained to all participants and informed consent was signed before enrolling patient to the study. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Faculty Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady and will enrolled up to 100 patients with presence of cataract in both eyes.

Bilateral clear corneal phacoemulsification and IOL implantation is performed by two experienced surgeon using the same technique in both eyes. The surgical process involved topical anesthesia, superior 3-step clear corneal incision (2,2mm), 5,0mm curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification, bilateral irrigation- aspiration and implantation of monofocal aspheric intraocular lens (Clareon Alcon vision LLC).

Patients are scheduled for visit at 3 months after the surgery. ;
