Active clinical trials for "Cataract"

The purpose of this study is to describe rates of spatial distortions related to intraocular lens (IOL) misalignment for ACRYSOF® Single-Piece Toric NATURAL IOL Model SN60T9 when implanted bilaterally into the capsular bag following phacoemulsification in adult patients with bilateral cataract and regular corneal astigmatism. Subjects were implanted with the Model SN60T9 in the first operative (study) eye and either Model SN60T9 or Model SN60T8 in the second operative eye.

Given the availability of aspheric diffractive IOLs with varying negative spherical aberration it may be feasible, by selecting the best fit IOL, to minimize aberrations and thereby maximize visual performance.

A comparison of the ability of DisCoVisc to that of other Opthalmic Viscosurgical Devices (OVDs) (DuoVisc®, BioVisc®, Healon5®, or Amvisc PLUS) regarding endothelial protection and anterior chamber space maintenance during non-eventful cataract surgery.

Purpose: To determine whether implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch & Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and in improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery. Study hypothesis: the implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified anterior and posterior aspherical surface (Akreos AO, Bausch & Lomb,Inc) results in reduced ocular aberrations (spherical aberration) and improved contrast sensitivity after cataract surgery. Setting: Department of ophthalmology, Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. Overall Study design: This will be an intraindividual randomized double-blinded prospective study. Patients will be randomized to receive an aspheric IOL Akreos AO in one eye (25 eyes; Bausch & Lomb, Inc), and an spheric IOL Akreos Fit (25 eyes; Bausch & Lomb, Inc.) in the fellow eye. Ocular aberrations with a 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil will be measured with a dynamic retinoscopy aberrometer after 1 and 3 months. Uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, out-focus performance and contrast sensitivity under mesopic and photopic conditions will be also measured. All patients will be followed for 3 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine if differences in the design of multifocal intra-ocular lenses would mean different values of higher-order aberrations and different performance in objective parameters such as modulation transfer function.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate neutralization of keratometric astigmatism in patients with cataract and astigmatism higher than 1 diopter, with phaco surgery and the implantation of a toric intraocular lens.

Randomized, parallel group, subject masked, multi-center six (6) month follow-up study comparing ACRYSOF® ReSTOR® Aspheric +3.0 D Add Power IOL Model SN6AD1 implanted in both eyes to ACRYSOF® ReSTOR® Aspheric +4.0 D Add Power IOL Model SN6AD3 implanted in both eyes.

Evaluation of the aqueous concentrations of 2 topical NSAIDS as well as the PGE2 inhibition in human patients.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate whether interventions to improve vision in nursing home residents have an impact on residents' health-related quality of life. The interventions being evaluated are correction of refractive error (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, presbyopia) and cataract surgery.

The investigators hypothesized that the combination of Valium, Tramadol and Zofran is superior to the substantially more expensive MKO melt in patient satisfaction after cataract surgery.
