About this study

Official title: Study on The Difference Between Three-Dimensional Heads-Up Surgery System and Traditional Surgery Methods in Cataract Surgery

To evaluate the differences between three-Dimensional heads-Up surgery system and traditional surgery methods of cataract surgery

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the differences between three-Dimensional heads-Up surgery system and traditional surgery methods of cataract surgery.Prospective research.One eligible eye from patients having cataract surgery performed using the 3-D head-up technique were included in the study as an experimental group,in the meanwhile eyes performed cataract surgery by traditional microsurgery included as a control group.All eyes in the study are operated by the same doctor. Corneal incision form,corneal endothelial cell density and best corrected visual acuity are included to evaluate the results of cataract surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • heads-up methodProcedure or surgery

    3D surgical video system, which includes Alcon NGENUITY 3D visualization system (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX) and Leica M822 and M844 microscopes (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany),can be used to perform head-up phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation surgery.

cataract surgery performed by heads-up methodExperimental3D heads-up surgery was performed under the NGENUITY® 3D visualization system
Receives: Procedure: heads-up method
Traditional surgeryNo interventionTraditional surgery was performed under a surgical microscope.

What is being measured

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

  1. change of corneal incision from 1day after surgery to 1 months

    the shape and length of the corneal incision ,if descemet's layer detachment happens

    Measured: up to 1day,1week,1 month

  2. corneal endothelial cell density

    the number of corneal endothelial cells per unit area

    Measured: up to 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. best corrected visual acuity

    best corrected visual acuity

    Measured: up to 1 month

  2. change from baseline central corneal thickness at 1 months

    thickness in micrometer

    Measured: up to 1 day,1 week,1 month

  3. change from baseline corneal incision thickness at 1 months

    Thickness of corneal incision

    Measured: up to 1 day,1 week,1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing heads-up method in people with Cataract, run by Wenzhou Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 12 May 2022. 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 China. 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 of corneal incision from 1day after surgery to 1 months (time frame: up to 1day,1week,1 month). 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 NCT04839250, 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 12 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
