Visual Outcomes After Bilateral Surgical Cataract Phacoemulsification: AcrySof Toric IOL Implantation Compared to Monofocal IOL Implantation

Phase 4
Terminated
Conditions
Cataract
Interventions
Device: Monofocal
Device: Toric T3 - T9
Registration Number
NCT01192321
Lead Sponsor
Alcon Research
Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are to assess and compare bilateral uncorrected distance visual acuity and distance spectacle independence post bilateral implantation of AcrySof Toric Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) and monofocal IOLs. Secondary outcomes will include cost of eyeglass purchased and patient vision-related quality of life.

Exclusion Criteria
  • previous corneal surgery and/or reshaping
  • abnormality, disease and/or conditions of the cornea (i.e. keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, keratitis, corneal scar, etc.), which would clinically contra-indicate the implantation of a toric intraocular lens
  • planned multiple procedures during cataract/IOL implantation surgery
  • planned limbal relaxing incision (LRI), Excimer laser treatment or similar procedure prior to or during the course of the study
  • an ocular disease and/or condition that may compromise visual acuity levels (i.e. glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, amblyopia, etc.)
  • pregnant, lactating or planning pregnancy during course of study. Subjects who become pregnant during the study will not be discontinued; however, data may be excluded from the effectiveness analyses because pregnancy can alter refraction and visual acuity results. Data will be collected on the CRF as observations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity6 Months After Surgery

Visual Acuity (VA) is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.

Spectacle Independence6 Months After Surgery

Spectacle Independence (the ability of the patient to go without corrective lenses) measured by a subjective patient questionnaire.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vision-related Quality of Life6 Months After Surgery

Vision related quality of life as measured by a subjective subject questionnaire.
