Shallow Anterior Chamber clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

FLACS vs Phaco in Shallow Anterior Chamber

Start date: January 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Phacoemulsification in eyes with a shallow anterior chamber (ACD < 2.2mm) presents with problems of safe access to the cataract and increased vulnerability of the endothelium and a higher tendency of complications such as descemet's detachment and iris prolapse. A shallow anterior chamber is also responsible for the high incidence of glaucoma and postoperative complications after cataract surgery. Femtosecond assisted cataract surgery has made cataract surgery safer and more predictable. The effective phacoemulsification time and intra-operative manipulation is greatly reduced in FLACS. However phacoemulsification still remains the most widely performed cataract surgery around the world. Post-operative outcomes after phacoemulsification in patients having shallow anterior chamber have been extensively reported in literature over the years. There is no head to head comparison in terms of intraoperative performance and post-operative outcomes between FLACS and phacoemulsification in eyes with shallow anterior chamber. The aim is to compare the intra-operative performance and post-operative outcomes in eyes undergoing femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery versus eyes undergoing phacoemulsification in eyes having shallow anterior chamber. The study will bring an understanding on the question: Do patients undergoing Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery behave differently from those undergoing phacoemulsification?
