About this study

Official title: An Assessment of Residual Spherical Aberration, Postoperative Total High Order Aberrations, and Functional Vision Correlation After SN60WF IOL Implantation

The purpose of this study was to evaluate total residual spherical aberration (TSA) post-IOL implantation, and to determine if an association exists between TSA, postoperative high order aberrations (HOA), and functional vision following IOL implantation in patients grouped by pre-operative corneal spherical aberration (CSA).

Read the detailed description

Patients will be grouped by pre-operative corneal spherical aberration (CSA) measures, i.e., ≤0.230 micron and ≥0.270 micron.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Acrysof IQ (SN60WF) IOLDevice

    Also called Acrysof® IQ Model SN60WF

    Acrysof IQ (SN60WF) intraocular lens implanted in the capsular bag of the eye during cataract surgery. The IOL is intended for the lifetime of the patient. Unilateral (one eye only) implantation is planned.

What is being measured

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

  1. Contrast Sensitivity

    Contrast sensitivity is the measurement of one's ability to detect slight changes in luminance before it becomes indistinguishable. It is measured in logarithmic units by means of an illuminated box, the CSV 1000 by Vector Vision. A higher value for the logarithmic units translates to better contrast sensitivity.

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Total Higher Order Aberrations

    A higher order aberration is a distortion acquired by a wavefront light when it passes through an eye with irregularities of its refractive components (tear film, cornea, aqueous humor, crystalline lens and vitreous humor). It is measured via wavefront measurements according to manufacturer's instructions with a LADARWave (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Ft. Worth TX).

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

  2. Corneal Spherical Aberration

    Corneal spherical aberration is the blurring of an image that occurs when light from the margin of a lens or mirror with a spherical surface comes to a shorter focus than light from the central portion. The changing focal length is caused by deviations in the lens or mirror surface from a true sphere and is measured by corneal topography with a commercially available topographer in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines.

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

  3. Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA)

    Uncorrected visual acuity, i.e., visual acuity without any type of corrective lenses, is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution," and a lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

  4. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

    Best corrected visual acuity, i.e., visual correction utilizing a phoropter or trial frames, is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution," and a lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

  5. Low Contrast (10%) Visual Acuity

    Visual acuity is tested using 10% contrast ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) charts under photopic conditions. Testing is performed using the correction from the manifest refraction at a distance calibrated for the chart. Visual acuity (VA) is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution," and a lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

  6. Quality of Vision Questionnaire

    As completed by the participant.

    Measured: Day 90 postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acrysof IQ (SN60WF) IOL in people with Cataracts, 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 9 inclusion and 13 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 29 Nov 2012. 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?

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 Sensitivity (time frame: Day 90 postoperative). 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 29 Nov 2012.
