Trial summary

Purpose of this study is to compare the astigmatic power of the toric IOL obtained from the AcrySof toric calculator, TECNIS toric calculator, and iTrace toric calculator in a group of patients with preoperative with-the-rule (WTR) and against-the-rule (ATR) corneal astigmatism.

About this study

Purpose of this study is to compare the astigmatic power of the toric IOL obtained from the AcrySof toric calculator, TECNIS toric calculator, and iTrace toric calculator in a group of patients with preoperative with-the-rule (WTR) and against-the-rule (ATR) corneal astigmatism. The study included 100 eyes with cataract and greater than 0.75 diopter of corneal astigmatism, and the subjects were divided into WTR and ATR group. Keratometric value was measured using autokeratometry, IOLMaster partial coherence interferometry (PCI), iTrace incorporating corneal topography and ray-tracing aberrometry. Based on measured values, toric IOL power calculations were performed using AcrySof, TECNIS and iTrace toric calculators.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01978106
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
a WTR corneal astigmatism groupCorneal astigmatism was defined as WTR when the steep corneal cylinder axis was within 30 degrees of the horizontal axis.
an ATR corneal astigmatism groupCorneal astigmatism was defined as ATR when the cylinder axis was within 30 degrees of the vertical axis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference of toric intraocular lens power between three toric calculators

    Comparison of the toric intraocular lens power calculated from Acrysof and TECNIS toric calculators using keratometric values measured by autokeratometry or IOLMaster PCI and that from iTrace toric calculator with keratometric value measurement using iTrace ray tracing wavefront aberrometry and iTrace simulated keratometry.

    Measured: Immediately after measurement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract and Astigmatism, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 7 Nov 2013. 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 South Korea. 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?

Difference of toric intraocular lens power between three toric calculators (time frame: Immediately after measurement). 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 7 Nov 2013.
