About this study

Official title: Influence of Light-filters in IOLs on Color Perception and Contrast Acuity. A Randomized, Double-masked Study With Intraindividual Comparison.

Visible-light-filtering IOLs are implanted increasingly often in cataract surgery. Several studies examined the effect of light-filters on contrast and colour vision. However, the study outcomes were varying. The present study investigated the effect of two light-filtering IOL on colour perception and contrast acuity using highly sensitive measurement methods.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized, double-masked study with intraindividual comparison. Implantation of a Polylens Y30 IOL in one eye and an Orange Series Model PC 440 Y in the contralateral eye.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Polylens Y30 intraocular lens and Orange Series Model PC 440 Y intraocular lens in people with Cataract, run by Hospital Hietzing at 1 site in Austria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

contrast acuity (time frame: 3 month after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2010.
