Trial summary

Cataract is the opacification of the lens. Usually cataract occurs slowly, causing progressive vision loss over several months or years. In ophthalmic clinical practice, repeated objective quantitative measurements of lens opacity may be necessary to document its progression and support a surgical indication.

About this study

Cataract is the opacification of the lens. Usually cataract occurs slowly, causing progressive vision loss over several months or years.

In ophthalmic clinical practice, repeated objective quantitative measurements of lens opacity may be necessary to document its progression and support a surgical indication.

The subjective methods of evaluating the opacification of the lens have limitations, in particular due to the lack of reproducibility between observers. Thus, innovative objective techniques with precise and reproducible cataract classification results have been developed, such as the Objective Scatter Index (OSI) on the Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS), Visiometrics SL in 2010 and, more recently, Average Lens Density (ALD) on the IOLMaster® 700 device. Cataract is diagnosed as mature when the OSI is ≥ 2 and / or when the ALD is ≥ 74 pixel units.

Vitrectomy is a surgery of the posterior segment of the eye indicated for retinal detachment, epimacular membranes, macular holes, vitreous hemorrhage. The incidence of post-vitrectomy cataract varies among studies, and the methodology is often retrospective. Age has already been identified as a risk factor for progression since in a study of 28 eyes of patients under 50 years old, only 7% developed cataracts secondarily, compared to 79% in the 'over 50' group.

To date, there is no prospective study describing the progression kinetics of lens opacification according to precise and reproducible quantitative objective criteria in patients treated by vitrectomy. It also involves confirming the age and preoperative lens status as a risk factor for postoperative cataract progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Objective Scatter Index (OSI) and Average Lens Density (ALD) in people with Vitrectomy and Cataract, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 13 Feb 2025. 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 France. 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?

Change in ALD value between baseline and 12 months after the intervention (time frame: Baseline and 12 months after vitrectomy). 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 13 Feb 2025.
