What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)

    Thickening and opacification of the transparent membrane on which the intraocular lens is placed assessed by taking a digital retroillumination image of each eye with a dedicated retroillumination camera system. The photographs were analyzed with POCO software to measure the percentage area of PCO in the capsulorhexis area.

    Measured: 2 years after surgery

  2. 100% LogMAR Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

    Best spectacle corrected vision was recorded for each eye of the patients at above follow up visits. The Visual Acuity (VA) measurement was taken under high contrast (100%), which means that there was maximum contrast between the letters on the chart and the background.

    VA is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

    Measured: 24 months after surgery

  3. 9% LogMAR Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

    Best spectacle corrected vision was recorded for each eye of the patients at above follow up visits. The Visual Acuity (VA) measurement was taken under low contrast (9%), which means that there was low contrast between the letters on the chart and the background.

    VA is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

    Measured: 24 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SN60AT and SN60WF in people with Cataract, run by Alcon Research at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 22 Dec 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) (time frame: 2 years after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Dec 2010.
