About this study

Official title: Multifocal Intraocular Lens vs. Monovision vs. Hybrid Monovision After Bilateral Cataract Surgery

To compare refractive outcomes and patient's visual quality after bilateral cataract surgery when implanting multifocal intraocular lens, monofocal with monovision or hybrid monovision.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results in randomized patients that receive bilateral multifocal IOLs, monofocal IOLs with monovision with emmetropia in one eye and 1.50 D of myopia in the other eye, or monofocal IOL in the dominant eye and multifocal IOL in the non-dominant eye, then evaluate visual and refractive outcomes, as well as independence for glasses after bilateral surgery with 1 year of follow up.

Conditions

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.Procedure or surgery

    Phacoemulsification under topical anesthesia with intraocular lens implantation.

Study groups in NCT02595177
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Multifocal IOLExperimentalCataract removal with topical anesthesia and phacoemulsification is performed. At the end, multifocal intraocular lens implantation in both eyes planning for emmetropia complete the intervention.
Receives: Procedure: Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.
MonovisionExperimentalCataract removal with topical anesthesia and phacoemulsification is performed. At the end, a monofocal intraocular lens implantation planning for emmetropia in one eye (dominant) and a monofocal IOL planning for 1.50 D of myopia in the other eye (non-dominant) complete the intervention.
Receives: Procedure: Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.
Hybrid MonovisionExperimentalCataract removal with topical anesthesia and phacoemulsification is performed. At the end, a monofocal intraocular lens implantation in the dominant eye and a multifocal IOL in the non-dominant eye complete the intervention.
Receives: Procedure: Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual acuity

    Binocular visual acuity in a semi-darkened room without correction to far, intermediate and near using a typical Snellen chart that is frequently used for visual acuity testing.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Speed reading measure

    Assessment is performed to measure the speed reading in each group and compare them. Then using a timer to measure how long does it take to read the page. The speed reading is measured in words per minute (WPM).

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Near stereopsis measure

    Calculate stereopsis in each group and compare them. Stereoacuity is measured using a stereogram in which separate panels are shown to each eye.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Contrast sensitivity measure

    Comparison between groups of the contrast sensitivity. Contrast sensitivity function at five spatial frequencies is measured with the validated instrument (Functional Vision Analyzer® (Stereo Optical, Chicago, IL, USA) with best refraction.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire - 25 (VFQ-25) questionnaire

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation. in people with Cataract and Presbyopia, run by Federal University of São 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 4 inclusion and 17 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 3 Nov 2015. 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?

Visual acuity (time frame: 1 year). 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 3 Nov 2015.
