Comparison of Clinical Outcomes POD L GF vs POD F GF in Asian Eyes (PHY1802)

Clinical Study to Compare Clinical Outcomes of Trifocal IOLs FineVision POD L GF and FineVision POD F GF After Bilateral Implantation in Asian Eyes

Prospective, randomised, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center clinical study to compare the clinical outcomes of two trifocal IOLs differing in the dominance of additional power. The investigational device POD L GF shows dominance for the intermediate addition (+1.75 D), whereas the control device POD F GF shows dominance for the near addition (+3.5 D). Implantation of the IOLs is bilaterally.

This is a prospective, randomised, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center clinical study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have bilateral implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses. The patients will either be implanted with the hydrophobic IOL FineVision POD L GF or the hydrophobic IOL FineVision POD F GF (both lenses: (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium). The devices under investigation (FineVision POD L GF and POD F GF) are trifocal glistening-free acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) manufactured by the sponsor of this study PhysIOL sa/nv. Both consist of the same hydrophobic material. The main difference between the lenses is the dominance of additional power. The investigational device POD L GF shows dominance for the intermediate addition (+1.75 D), whereas the control device POD F GF shows dominance for the near addition (+3.5 D). The IOLs will be implanted as part of the routine cataract surgery on patients suffering from cataract development. Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of 10 study visits (1 preoperative, 2 operative and 7 postoperative) over a period of 6 months. Subjects would have the option for unscheduled visits if required medically. Primary and secondary endpoint data will be collected at the 6 months follow up visit. Data analyses will be done after the last patient finished the final examination to support the study publication plan.

No statistically significant difference between the two study groups on monocular CDVA at 3 months follow up visit. A significance level of 0.05 or lower (p < 0.05) will be considered statistically significant. CDVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 4m distance with best aided corrective glasses according to ISO 11979-7:2014.

The manifested refraction is measured by means of a phoropter. The data contains values for sphere, cylinder and axis of cylinder according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This data will also be used to calculate the manifested refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE)

UDVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 4m distance according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly under photopic light conditions.

Aberrometry outcomes are measured with a standard aberrometer. The following values will be evaluated in this study: Spherical aberrations, high order aberrations, lens tilt.

Measurement of Ocular Scatter Index (OSI) score to evaluate and compare the scattering of the implanted lenses.

Outcomes measures of a questionnaire to address the general patient satisfaction and possible side effects of the treatment. For this study, the validated and verified questionnaire VFQ-25 (National Eye Institute) will be used. The maximum score for each question is 100.

To assess the visual acuity for different distances, defocus curves under photopic light conditions are measured. This test is performed with best distance corrected refraction and spherical additions ranging from -5.0 D to +1.5 D. This examination is performed monocularly.
