Trial summary

Multifocal IOLs that maintain distance focus and improve near vision have been developed to reduce spectacle dependence.Multifocal IOLs improve patient performance of near-vision tasks, such as reading crafts, hobbies, and social activities to a greater extent than do monofocal IOLs.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Trifocal Diffractive Intraocular Lens After Cataract Extraction With Phacoemulsification

Multifocal IOLs that maintain distance focus and improve near vision have been developed to reduce spectacle dependence.Multifocal IOLs improve patient performance of near-vision tasks, such as reading crafts, hobbies, and social activities to a greater extent than do monofocal IOLs. However, halos and reduced contrast sensitivity have been associated with multifocal IOLs and are common reasons for patient's dissatisfaction.Trifocal technology has been developed to create intermediate focus to overcome these difficulties. Continuous reports of the visual outcomes of the FineVision trifocal IOLs are encouraging.

Read the detailed description

Monofocal IOLs, which provide effective distance vision, currently account for the majority of IOLs implantations. Patients who have undergone cataract surgery with implantation of monofocal IOL may require spectacles to perform near-distance (e.g., reading) or intermediate-distance (e.g., using a computer) tasks depending on their visual demandsMultifocal IOLs that maintain distance focus and improve near vision have been developed to reduce spectacle dependence.Multifocal IOLs improve patient performance of near-vision tasks, such as reading crafts, hobbies, and social activities to a greater extent than do monofocal IOLs. However, halos and reduced contrast sensitivity have been associated with multifocal IOLs and are common reasons for patient's dissatisfaction.Trifocal technology has been developed to create intermediate focus to overcome these difficulties. Continuous reports of the visual outcomes of the FineVision trifocal IOLs are encouraging.

What participants receive

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

  • Trifocal diffractive intraocular lensDevice

    Also called (FineVision IOL)

    Trifocal IOL having foldable single-piece fully diffractive pupil dependent aspheric IOL. Which have been made of hydrophilic acrylic with an ultraviolet (UV) and blue light inhibitor. It has an optic diameter of 6.15 mm and an overall diameter of 10.75 mm; it has +3.5D additional power for near vision and +1.75 D additional power for intermediate vision, consisting of 26 diffractive steps.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Acuity

    Current study used Sloan chart (Good - Lite Co, USA) for intermediate, Snellen chart for far and Landolt ring chart for near vision

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Defocus curve

    examined monocular and binocular after correcting distant VA refractive error then inserting defocus lenses 0.50-D focus steps from (+1.50 to -3.50 D) in the trial frame

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Contrast sensitivity

    using the CSV-1000 contrast test.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Visual Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Questionnaire patient satisfaction protocol mediated by (PhysIOL Lige, Belgium).

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Trifocal diffractive intraocular lens in people with Refractive Errors, run by Alexandria University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Jul 2020. 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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: 3 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04465279, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2020.
