Trial summary

Purpose: To determine whether implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch \& Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and in improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery.

About this study

Official title: Wavefront Analysis and Contrast Sensitivity After Cataract Surgery With Akreos AO Intraocular Lens Implantation: Clinical Comparative Study

Purpose: To determine whether implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch \& Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and in improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery.

Study hypothesis: the implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch \& Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery.

Setting: Department of ophthalmology, Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.

Overall Study design: This will be an intraindividual randomized double-blinded prospective study. Patients will be randomized to receive an aspheric IOL Akreos AO in one eye (25 eyes; Bausch \& Lomb, Inc), and an spheric IOL Akreos Fit (25 eyes; Bausch \& Lomb, Inc.) in the fellow eye. Ocular aberrations with a 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil will be measured with a dynamic retinoscopy aberrometer after 1 and 3 months. Uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, out-focus performance and contrast sensitivity under mesopic and photopic conditions will be also measured. All patients will be followed for 3 months.

Read the detailed description

Patients with bilateral visually significant cataract with corneal astigmatism lower than 2.0D (diopters) will be eligible for inclusion in the study. Exclusion criteria will be any ocular diseases, such as corneal opacities or irregularity, dry eye, amblyopia, anisometropia, glaucoma, retinal abnormalities, surgical complications, IOL tilt, IOL decentration greater than 0.4 mm (estimated by retroillumination), or incomplete follow-up.

Patients will be examined before surgery and at 1, 7, 30, 90 days after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) in people with Lens Implantation, Intraocular, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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 2 Jul 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 Brazil. 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?

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?

Ocular aberrations with a 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil measured with a dynamic retinoscopy aberrometer (time frame: At 30 and 90 days postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00863759, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 2 Jul 2010.
