Comparison of Haptic Orientation in Negative Dysphotopsia

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Negative Dysphotopsia
Registration Number
NCT02724553
Lead Sponsor
Loma Linda University
Brief Summary

Previous studies attempted to understand the dysphotopsia phenomenon by examining intraocular lens type, anterior capsule depth, iris-to-lens depth, lens refractive material, clear cornea incision wounds and anterior capsulorrhexis. However, there is limited literature in understanding haptic orientation and negative dysphotopsia; postulated theories and anecdotal reports relate to horizontal haptic orientation and the lateralization of rays such that light is received both in smaller width and anterior to the peripheral retina; however, no formal studies currently exist.
