About this study

The recently introduced toric V4c toric ICL (STAAR Surgical Company, Monrovia, CA, USA) has been designed with a 360-µm central hole to allow aqueous humor to flow without the need for an iridotomy. As far as the investigators certain, there have been not well-established prospective studies on the role of the V4c toric ICL for myopic astigmatism correction. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and rotational stability and to analyze factors that influence the rotational stability in V4c toric ICL implanted eyes prospectively.

What participants receive

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

  • V4c toric ICL implantation surgeryProcedure or surgery

    The size and power of the V4c toric ICL were determined following the manufacturer's guidelines using a modified vertex formula. Emmetropia was the target refraction following surgery in all cases. Before surgery, three centration points were marked using the slit lamp while the patient, in sitting position, fixated on the center of the slit-lamp beam, which was narrowed as much as possible.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual outcome

    Evaluation of logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and CDVA, manifest refraction, autorefractor-keratometer (ARK-530A; Nidek Co., Ltd.). The change of astigmatism was analyzed by the Alpins method.

    Measured: 6 months after the surgery

  2. Refractive outcome

    Evaluation of logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and CDVA, manifest refraction, autorefractor-keratometer (ARK-530A; Nidek Co., Ltd.). The change of astigmatism was analyzed by the Alpins method.

    Measured: 6 months after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rotational stability

    Rotational stability of the toric ICL was measured using the OPD-Scan III (NIDEK Co. Ltd., Gamagori, Japan). The rotation was defined as the difference between the intended axis and the achieved axis at each follow-up. Assuming that the adjusted axis was identical to the intended angle, postoperative rotation was automatically measured by determining the angle between the adjusted axis and alignment axis. Each measurement was performed three times by one physician, and the average of the three measurements was used in the analysis.

    Measured: immediately after the surgery

  2. Rotational stability

    Rotational stability of the toric ICL was measured using the OPD-Scan III (NIDEK Co. Ltd., Gamagori, Japan). The rotation was defined as the difference between the intended axis and the achieved axis at each follow-up. Assuming that the adjusted axis was identical to the intended angle, postoperative rotation was automatically measured by determining the angle between the adjusted axis and alignment axis. Each measurement was performed three times by one physician, and the average of the three measurements was used in the analysis.

    Measured: 3 months after the surgery

  3. Rotational stability

    Rotational stability of the toric ICL was measured using the OPD-Scan III (NIDEK Co. Ltd., Gamagori, Japan). The rotation was defined as the difference between the intended axis and the achieved axis at each follow-up. Assuming that the adjusted axis was identical to the intended angle, postoperative rotation was automatically measured by determining the angle between the adjusted axis and alignment axis. Each measurement was performed three times by one physician, and the average of the three measurements was used in the analysis.

    Measured: 6 months after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing V4c toric ICL implantation surgery in people with Myopic 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual outcome (time frame: 6 months after the surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jan 2018.
