High-Definition 3D Visualization System for Ophthalmic Surgery
CataractTo validate a high-definition (HD) three-dimensional (3D) visualization system in cataract surgery
Evaluation of the Aspheric ReSTOR IOL After Routine Cataract Extraction
CataractThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of the aspheric ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and compare it to a historical control group of patients implanted bilaterally with the spherical ReSTOR multifocal
Potential Research Participants for Future Studies of Inherited Eye Diseases
CataractGlaucoma3 moreThis study will evaluate potential candidates for future clinical research studies related to diagnosed or undiagnosed genetic eye disorders or diseases. It will not test any new treatments, but it may arrange for standard treatments for existing eye disorders. The purpose of the study is to train eye doctors and medical researchers at the National Institutes of Health in appropriate methods and procedures for treating patients with genetic eye diseases, and to expand the pool of possible participants for future research studies and trials on eye health. Volunteers for this study may be adults and minor children who have been diagnosed with or are at risk for having a genetic eye disease. Candidates may not have any other medical conditions that would interfere with the researchers' ability to perform the examinations and procedures required for this study. Participants will give a complete medical and family history and undergo a series of tests and procedures as part of this research study. The procedures include a full eye examination and vision testing, electrooculography and an electroretinogram to examine the function of the retina, and flourescein angiography to provide information on the flow of blood in the participant's eyes. Participants will provide research material for further studies by giving a blood sample to be held for genetic testing and analysis, and adult participants will also undergo a skin biopsy to provide cell tissue for additional research material. At each clinic visit, participants will receive treatment for their genetic eye disease as needed, including medications or surgical procedures. Participants may remain a part of this study for up to three years.
The Influence of Vision on Balance, Gait and Falls
CataractFalls are the most serious and frequent home accident amongst elderly. Most falls occur during walking. Vision is reduced with ageing and visual impairments affect balance. Uncorrected visual deficits and balance problems are reported to be risk factors for falls and fall related fractures. The present project uses a longitudinal design and aims at assessing the impact of cataract surgery on balance and gait as risk factors for falls.
Genetic Diagnosis in Congenital Cataracts
Congenital CataractThe prediction of genetic risk in congenital cataract patients has great clinical significance. In this trial, the investigators aim to screen the causative variants from 115 unrelated bilateral congenital cataract patients enrolled consecutively, describe novel and recurrent variants, analyze the factors affecting genetic diagnostic yield, and explore potential phenotype-genotype correlation.
Clinical Outcomes of an New EDOF IOL (Isopure®)
Lens OpacitiesCataract1 moreSingle-center, retrospective, open-label observational study aiming to evaluate visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of Isopure® EDOF-IOL with a mono-minovision target.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and Tear Cytokines After Cataract Surgery According to Preoperative...
CataractTo investigate the possible mechanisms by which cataract surgery aggravates meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the investigators evaluated the changes in tear cytokines and ocular surface parameters after cataract surgery according to the preoperative MGD grade.
Comparison of Clinical Outcomes After Cataract Surgery With and Without Capsular Tension Ring
CataractThis study was set up to identify clinical outcomes including a refractive shift or change in IOL calculation accuracy and optical quality after Ophtec® capsular tension ring in the eyes without zonular instability.
A Real-World Registry to Investigate the Performance of LenSx® Laser in Chinese Patients
CataractsThe purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of LenSx® Laser in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in real-world medical practice in Chinese patients.
