Active clinical trials for "Cataract"

The investigators would like to assess whether monovision correction of multifocal lens insertion provides more satisfaction to cataract patients following an uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery.

To evaluate visual acuity and quality of vision in participants undergoing cataract surgery with a Hoya model 751 intra-ocular lens and to compare the visual results to the common monofocal lens in use.

The primary purpose of the study was to compare the macular hole closure and visual acuity gain following vitrectomy using SF6 gas tamponade with 7 days of face-down positioning versus C3F8 gas tamponade with 14 days of face-down positioning. The secondary purpose was to report, in each group, the cumulative incidence of cataract development 1 year following macular hole surgery and the proportion of complications (*). ((*) hypertony, hypotony, retinal tear, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis) This prospective randomized study examined a 3 year period. The first patient was included in January 2010 and the last in November 2011. The 12-month follow-up spread out from March 2011 to December 2012. The first group included 31 patients who had undergone macular hole surgery using SF6 gas and who were advised to stay in face-down position for 7 days postoperatively (SF6 group). These patients were compared to 28 patients who had undergone macular hole surgery with C3F8 gas and who were advised to maintain a face-down position for 14 days. Patients in both groups underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and fluid-gas exchange using either SF6 or C3F8. Preoperative data included the characterization of the hole with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), the best correct visual acuity (VA) recorded in number of letters using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart, classification of the cataract according to the LOCS III and the intraocular pressure IOP. Postoperative data included OCT confirmation of the closure at 6 weeks and 1 year, 1 year's best corrected VA recorded in number of letters (EDTRS chart) and determination of cataract development and extraction as needed.

The IntraLase iFS femtosecond laser system can create corneal arcuate incisions for cataract surgery.

Different capsulorhexis size results in different capsular outcome when treating pediatric cataract, and there should be an appropriate capsulorhexis size for the best capsular outcome.

The purpose of this study is to describe visual outcomes, in particular spherical equivalent by manifest refraction and visual acuity across a range of distances, 6 months post implantation of the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® +3.0 D Multifocal Toric IOL in adult patients with corneal astigmatism. Additionally, patient reported outcomes will be assessed.

Two intraocular irrigating solutions (BSSPlus versus Lactated Ringer's) are compared in this prospective, randomized, masked trial to investigate for differences in preservation of corneal integrity after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.

Randomized contralateral clinical trial with single piece (Model SN60WF) vs. three piece (Model MA60AC) AcrySof Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) on development of Posterior Chamber Opacifiation (PCO).

To assess posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in patients implanted with either the AcrySof SN60AT lens or the AcrySof SN60WF lens.

An assessment of the surgical performance of DisCoVisc compared to Healon5 during cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation where miotic/small pupils or intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome exists.
