About this study

Official title: CLinical Evaluation of the FluidVision AIOL for Accommodation Restoration

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational IOL in providing a range of vision as compared to a commercially available trifocal IOL in subjects undergoing cataract extraction and IOL implantation.

Read the detailed description

Upon obtaining written informed consent and confirmation of subject eligibility via preoperative assessments, subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the investigational IOL or the commercially available trifocal IOL in both eyes. The second eye for each subject was implanted after completion of the 1-week follow up for the first implanted eye. The expected total duration of participation for each subject was up to 14 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) at 100% Contrast - First Implanted Eye

    Visual acuity was tested at a distance of 40 centimeters with distance correction (plus or minus power) in place.

    Measured: Month 6 postoperative

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (DCIVA) at 100% Contrast - First Implanted Eye

    Visual acuity was tested at a distance of 66 centimeters with distance correction (plus or minus power) in place.

    Measured: Month 6 postoperative

  2. Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) at low contrast - First Implanted Eye

    Visual acuity was tested at a distance of 40 centimeters with distance correction (plus or minus power) in place.

    Measured: Month 6 postoperative

  3. Percentage of Eyes with 20/32 or Better Visual Acuity Between 4 meters and 40 centimeters on the Defocus Curve

    A series of plus and minus lenses were placed over the subject's best distance manifest correction to simulate distances from far to hear.

    Measured: Month 6 postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FluidVision AIOL, AcrySof IQ PanOptix Trifocal IOL and Cataract surgery in people with Cataract, run by PowerVision at 1 site in South Africa.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2021. 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 Africa. 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?

Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) at 100% Contrast - First Implanted Eye (time frame: Month 6 postoperative). 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 24 May 2021.
