Trial summary

Eyesight and quality of life improves in patients after refractive cataract surgery because this surgery treats myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia except astigmatism. In order to make a patient spectacle free Ophthalmologists use different methods during cataract surgery to minimize astigmatism. Read more about this study

About this study

Eyesight and quality of life improves in patients after refractive cataract surgery because this surgery treats myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia except astigmatism. In order to make a patient spectacle free Ophthalmologists use different methods during cataract surgery to minimize astigmatism.

Read the detailed description

These methods includes limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) or the insertion of toric IOLs, which are specifically intended to cancel out pre-existing astigmatism and astigmatic keratometry. This research will be conducted to see which method benefits more for treating preoperative astigmatism in eye.

Being tested
Corneal Incision, Toric Intraocular

What participants receive

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

  • Corneal IncisionDiagnostic test

    Astigmatism will be assessed by objective and subjective refraction by using the Autorefrectometer and retinoscop.Autorefrectometer uses to acsess the refracive state of eye by which we measure the astigmatim in patients eyes .Then after ctaract surgry in the next followup we will again use autorefrectometer to take readings and these both will be compared on visits among patients undergoing two procedures.

  • Toric IntraocularOther

    Two cataract surgery techniques will be used .1 : Toric IOL lenses designed with a unique shape to help provide clear vision at all distances for individuals with astigmatism compared to give better results specially in astigmatic patients.2: Corneal Inscion is which eye surgeon makes a very small opening on the eye, next to the outer corner. to remove the catract during surgry .

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative visual acuity

    The postoperative visual acuity and refractive outcomes between patients undergoing cataract surgery with corneal incision and those with toric IOL implantation.

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. effectiveness of astigmatism correction

    Investigate the effectiveness of astigmatism correction achieved by both toric iol and corneal inscion technique and determine the degree of residual astigmatism in both groups after followups .

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Corneal Incision and Toric Intraocular in people with Cataract Surgery, run by Superior University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2024. 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 Pakistan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

postoperative visual acuity (time frame: 12 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?
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 Aug 2024.
