Active clinical trials for "Cataract"

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the use of low-energy segment removal with a micro-interventional irrigation/aspiration port (MICOR-304) to evacuate the lens prior to intraocular lens insertion in subjects undergoing routine cataract surgery.

This study will examine the safety and efficacy NPI-002 intravitreal implants post vitrectomy.

The aim of this study is to report the effectiveness of phacoaspiration when combined with angle surgery in preventing postoperative glaucoma following pediatric cataract surgery

The study will assess safety and performance of MINIject implant in patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by topical hypotensive medications in conjunction with cataract surgery.

Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a major cause of suboptimal postoperative visual acuity after cataract surgery. Topical steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to prevent CME. However, noncompliance with eye drops may compromise the effectiveness of treatment. Dropless periocular drug delivery during cataract surgery may improve the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of cataract surgery, and may alleviate the burden on homecare organizations.

The main objective of this research is to assess visual function and optical performance of CE marked, implanted intraocular lenses to understand the individual factors that affect their performance and how these may be improved in future designs and to evaluate measurement techniques. All outcome measures will be captured 3-6 months after surgery

This is a randomized, controlled study to assess the safety and effectiveness of treatment with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4mg) insert when utilized in conjunction with topical steroids as part of an extended taper steroid regimen following cataract surgery in patients with a history of epiretinal membrane, diabetic retinopathy, or non-exudative macular degeneration.

Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical interventions worldwide. The microscope light-induced retinal toxicity after cataract surgery has been described in several reports even in short procedures; however, this potential toxicity has not been evaluated by objective criteria. Indeed, this retinal phototoxicity would be increased for patients with mild macular diseases such as early stages of AMD (Aged Macular Degeneration) (ie: drusen) which are frequently associated in elderly patients with cataract. The aim of the study will be to assess the potential functional macular effects by focal and multifocal ERG after cataract surgery with NGenuity by comparison to Standard Operating Microscope (SOM). This study would particularly address eyes at risk for macular toxicity like patients with early or intermediate AMD

The current postoperative cataract surgery eye drop regimen used at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is a significant burden for its patient population, contributing to high rates of non-adherence and the development of postoperative complications. The investigators propose to replace this complex regimen with a single administration of intraocular antibiotic and subconjunctival steroid at the time of surgery. This pilot study will obtain the preliminary data required to eventually fully evaluate this innovation in postoperative care in a safety-net population with respect to postoperative outcomes, patient compliance, and patient and caregiver satisfaction.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of ripasudil administered as an ophthalmic solution in patients with FED after femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery. The secondary aim is to identity the characteristics of patients who will benefit the most with the use of ripasudil based on the test results obtained from this study.
