Evaluation of Effective Lens Position With a Uniplanar Bi-aspheric IOL

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Cataract
Interventions
Device: Softec HD IOL
Registration Number
NCT01248572
Lead Sponsor
Lenstec Incorporated
Brief Summary

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effective lens position (ELP) - or location an intraocular lens (IOL) "sits" in the eye - of the Softec HD IOL. A secondary study goal is to determine if measures of the eye taken prior to surgery can reliably predict postoperative ELP.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effective lens position (ELP) of the study lens, and to report the stability of ELP post-operatively. Additionally, correlations of ELP to predicted postoperative lens position, capsular bag metrics, preoperative biometry and age will be statistically analyzed for determination of ELP prediction via one, or a combination of preoperative variables.
