Active clinical trials for "Cataract"

The two main objectives of this study are to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of implanting the PanOptix Trifocal IOL in patients who have had previous myopic Lasik. The primary objectives to demonstrate clinical safety will be the quality of vision questionnaire (QUVID) which will demonstrate the patient's perception of halos, glares, and starbursts before and after the implantation of the trifocal IOL. The primary objective to demonstrate clinical effectiveness will be done by measuring visual outcomes at distance, intermediate, and near. In addition, the patients will also fill out the spectacle independence questionnaire (IOLSAT Questionnaire) to determine their level of glasses independence postoperatively. In addition, at the conclusion of the study the patient will also fill out a patient satisfaction survey.

The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of capsulotomy assisted by intraocular caliper and Verion navigation system in phacoemulsification surgery and postoperative visual quality for age-related cataract patients with corneal limbus opacity.

The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of capsulotomy assisted by intraocular caliper and Verion navigation system in phacoemulsification surgery and postoperative visual quality of patients.

It is aimed to determine patient satisfaction (pain assessment during and after the operation) and the initial and total anesthesia durations of eye lid and globe anesthesia after administration of local anesthetic solution only in standard applied volumes (1.5-3 ml). No agents will be added to the local anesthetic agents used in the conventional retrobulbar block in patients who will undergo cataract surgery,

The purpose of this study is to investigate postoperative events in patients noted to have retained nuclear fragments in the anterior vitreous during routine phacoemulsification and in those who did not.

Sensitivity and specificity of current screening methods for congenital cataracts in neonates is poor. This results in delayed diagnosis and management which can decrease the visual prognosis following cataract surgery. It also results in many false positives with resultant unnecessary healthcare costs in specialist paediatric ophthalmology services. The investigator has developed a new digital technique to improve the accuracy of screening for congenital cataract and this study will compare this new test with the current test performed.

cataracts could be cured with eye drops. Some studies reported that in chronic renal failure, the occurrence of cataract is rare and the mechanism is unknown. The aim of this research is to describe correlation between urea concentration in the serum and aqueous humor and development of age related cataract.

Globally, cataract is the major cause of blindness accounting for 51% of total blindness and there are regional variations in it. Today, cataract surgery is a highly successful and cost-effective procedure, which enhances both the vision and quality of life of patients. Visual acuity alone should not be used as a criterion for planning cataract surgery, since visual acuity and function do not necessarily correlate. Therefore, there is a need to review our criteria for management. Based on recent studies, at least 90% of the patients undergoing cataract surgery obtain a postoperative visual acuity of 6/12 or better in the absence of coexisting ocular pathology. A number of previous studies have looked at the effect of risk factors on visual outcomes following cataract surgery. Risk factors commonly associated with worse visual outcomes include: age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, corneal opacity/pathology, older age, female sex, previous vitrectomy, previous retinal detachment surgery, alpha-blockers, complex surgery, intraoperative complications and refractive surprise.

The degree of perceived pain in the second-eye surgery of cataract patients is significantly higher than that in the first-eye surgery, which can lead to nervous tension during surgery and affect the surgical outcome and satisfaction. Study suggested that in addition to psychological factors, there might be subclinical sympathetic reactions leading to increased pain in the second-eyes, but the objective indicators and clinical relevance are not clear. Therefore, it is necessary to study the mechanism of second-eye pain in cataract surgery, and to provide a test index that can effectively predict the degree of intraoperative pain in patients, as an important reference for the development of a suitable time for second eye surgery. This study is based on clinical case studies, recruiting patients with clinically diagnosed binocular age-related cataract and require binocular surgery, to compare the correlation of intraocular inflammatory factors in the second eye and patients' self-pain scores while both eyes' surgery are completed by the same doctor in the same operating room, and the correlation of the change of inflammatory factors and the time interval between the two eyes surgery, to analyze the second-eye subclinical sympathetic reaction changing with the time interval after the first cataract surgery from the molecular biological results. Using the latest international anterior segment vascularization optical coherence tomography(OCT) scan and optical microvascular imaging(OMAG) analysis technology to quantify iris blood flow, this study analyzes the iris blood flow density, vascular density and other indicators before and after cataract surgery, and carry out its correlation with the degree of intraocular subclinical sympathetic reaction, providing a rapid, non-invasive objective examination index of the second-eye subclinical sympathetic response.

Investigate if a computer-based tutorial enhances the quality and efficiency of the informed consent process for cataract surgery in Turkish or Serbian speaking patients.
