About this study

Official title: Functional Benefit With ACRYSOF® Natural Chromophore

The purpose of this study is to compare the reaction time (as measured by braking reaction time in seconds during simulated driving) under glare and no-glare conditions in subjects implanted with ACRYSOF® IQ intraocular lenses (IOLs) to subjects implanted with clear IOLs. This study will enroll subjects previously implanted with IOLs in both eyes for at least 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Braking Reaction Time From No-glare to Glare

    Braking reaction time (time to brake, in seconds) was assessed using a driving simulator in no-glare and glare conditions. The subject was presented with a driving scenario during which an obstruction (car pulling over from either side of the road in a random fashion) was presented. Subjects braked in an attempt to avoid colliding with the obstruction, and the braking reaction time was recorded. The experiment was repeated with a glare source present. Both assessments (no-glare and glare) occurred on the same day. Change in braking reaction time was calculated as glare minus no-glare.

    Measured: Visit 2, up to Day 30

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Braking Reaction Time From No-glare to Glare (Clear IOLs)

    Braking reaction time (time to brake, in seconds) was assessed using a driving simulator in no-glare and glare conditions. The subject was presented with a driving scenario during which an obstruction (car pulling over from either side of the road in a random fashion) was presented. Subjects braked in an attempt to avoid colliding with the obstruction, and the braking reaction time was recorded. The experiment was repeated with a glare source present. Both assessments (no-glare and glare) occurred on the same day. Change in braking reaction time was calculated as glare minus no-glare. This outcome measure was pre-specified for Clear IOL only.

    Measured: Visit 2, Up to Day 30

  2. Change in Braking Reaction Time From No-glare to Glare (ACRYSOF® IQ IOL + Placebo Filter; Clear IOL + BLF)

    Braking reaction time (time to brake, in seconds) was assessed using a driving simulator in no-glare and glare conditions. The subject was presented with a driving scenario during which an obstruction (car pulling over from either side of the road in a random fashion) was presented. Subjects braked in an attempt to avoid colliding with the obstruction, and the braking reaction time was recorded. The experiment was repeated with a glare source present. Both assessments (no-glare and glare) occurred on the same day. Change in braking reaction time was calculated as glare minus no-glare.

    Measured: Visit 2, Up to Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clear clip-on glasses, Blue light filter clip-on glasses and ACRYSOF® IQ IOL in people with Cataract, run by Alcon Research.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 26 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 26 May 2016). 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?

Change in Braking Reaction Time From No-glare to Glare (time frame: Visit 2, up to Day 30). 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 26 May 2016.
