About this study

Official title: Visual Outcomes After Implantation of a Segmental Refractive Multifocal Intraocular Lens Following Cataract Surgery

To evaluate visual outcomes of a segmental refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery.

Read the detailed description

Purpose: This prospective, nonrandomized noncomparative case series investigates the visual performance after bilateral implantation of a segmental refractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) after cataract surgery and was performed at the department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.

Methods: Fifty eyes (25 patients) were included. Inclusion criteria were bilateral cataract, age > 45 years, corneal astigmatism ≤ 0.75 D postoperatively, pupil size 3 to 6 mm (mesopic), and center shift < 1 mm (Pentacam). Exclusion criteria were previous ocular surgeries, amblyopia or potential postoperative distance-corrected visual acuity (DCVA) < 0.3 logMAR,

Intervention or Observation: Uncorrected (UCVA) and DCVA in 4 m, 80 cm, 40 cm; contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic and mesopic conditions; reading skills (Radner Reading Charts); defocus curve, questionnaire on optical quality (OQ) and spectacle independence were assessed after 3 months.

Main Outcome Measures: At 3 months postoperatively, UCVA and DCVA in 4 m, 80 cm, 40 cm (logMAR); defocus curves; CS; reading skills; and OQ questionnaire results.

What participants receive

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

  • Implantation of multifocal intraocular lensOther

    Procedure/Surgery:

    Bilateral implantation of a segmental refractive multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) following cataract surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Best corrected visual acuity at far distance

    Monocular and binocular corrected visual acuity at far distance measured in logMAR 3 month after lens surgery

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Best corrected visual acuity at intermediate distance

    Monocular and binocular corrected visual acuity at intermediate distance measured in logMAR 3 month after lens surgery

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  2. Best corrected visual acuity at near distance

    Monocular and binocular best corrected visual acuity at near distance measured in logMAR 3 month after lens surgery

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  3. Uncorrected visual acuity at far distance

    Monocular and binocular uncorrected visual acuity at far distance measured in logMAR 3 month after lens surgery

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  4. Uncorrected visual acuity at intermediate distance

    Monocular and binocular uncorrected visual acuity at intermediate distance measured in logMAR 3 month after lens surgery

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  5. Uncorrected visual acuity at near distance

    Monocular and binocular uncorrected visual acuity at near distance measured in logMAR 3 month after lens surgery

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  6. Binocular contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic, mesopic, and mesopic with glare lighting conditions

    Binocular contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured with the Functional Acuity Contrast Test (FACT) chart in the Optec 6500 Vision Tester (Stereo Optical Co., Chicago, IL) under binocular photopic (85 cd/m²), mesopic (3 cd/m²), and photopic and mesopic with glare conditions at a spatial frequency of 6 cycles per degree (cpd) (threshold range 0.78-2.26).

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  7. Defocus curve testing

    Defocus curve (monocular and binocular) was tested from -5.0 D to +2.0 D in 0.5 D steps under photopic lighting conditions (ETDRS).

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  8. Radner reading skills

    Binocular distance-corrected reading acuity (40 cm) was investigated in LogRAD (Reading Acuity Determination) using reading charts (Radner Reading Charts).

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

  9. Optical quality questionnaire

    Quality of vision questionnaire (visual analogue scale (VAS) 0 (perfect / no symptoms) to 100 (extremely poor / maximum symptom intensity)) asking for evaluation of "glare", "halos", "starbursts", "blurred vision", and "ghosting" under photopic, mesopic and scotopic light conditions, if they wear any spectacles, and to evaluate their total quality of vision.

    Measured: Measured 3 month after lens surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Visual Acuity, run by University Clinic Frankfurt at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 10 Oct 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 Germany. 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?

Best corrected visual acuity at far distance (time frame: Measured 3 month after lens surgery). 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 10 Oct 2018.
