Active clinical trials for "Cataract"

Cataract is an important cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. At present, the only effective treatment method is surgery. The visual function of most patients can be significantly improved after surgery, but there are still 5-20% of patients whose visual function cannot be improved after surgery. Previous studies have found that the surgical complications and postoperative visual function of cataract patients are closely related to the condition of the fundus, but the current fundus camera cannot perform clear fundus imaging of cataract patients, and the existing potential visual inspections, such as retinal visual inspection, are also inaccurate. Predict postoperative visual acuity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reliable postoperative effect prediction system for cataract patients to provide reference for both ophthalmologists and patients. This study intends to collect patient medical record information and traditional/ultra-wide fundus photos and other multi-modal data. Firstly, this study will use artificial intelligence technology to enhance fundus photos of cataract patients to obtain clearer fundus photos. Then this study will use both medical record information and traditional/ultra-wide fundus photographs to predict postoperative vision and visual function of cataract patients.

This retrospective-prospective bidirectional cohort study aims to observe ocular parameter changes, different surgical/vision recovery strategies and postoperative adverse effects among young children with cataract. The influence on psychology and cognitive function will be taken into consideration as well.

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DEXYCU® for the Treatment of Ocular Pain Associated With Cataract Surgery

The purpose of this study is to verify the post-market safety of the IC-8 Apthera IOL after the treatment of posterior capsular opacification (PCO), an expected complication related to IC-8 Apthera IOL implantation.

The long-term goal of this project is to utilize very high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to guide surgical treatments of corneal diseases. OCT is well known for its exquisite resolution, but until recently it has not had sufficient speed to capture the shape of the cornea because of eye motion during OCT scanning. The development of Fourier-domain (FD) OCT technology has made the requisite speed possible. The objective of this project is to develop methods for imaging the cornea with an FD-OCT system that will precisely measure corneal shape and use this information to guide surgery. Cataract surgery in patients with previous laser vision correction often leads to significant near- or far-sightedness, a problem that could be resolved by using a more accurate intraocular lens power selection formula based on the measurement of corneal refractive power with OCT.

The proposed randomized clinical trial aims to compare visual performance, measured using VR simulations, in cataract patients implanted either with bilateral trifocal IOL or bilateral monofocal IOL with monovision. The hypothesis is that patients implanted with trifocal IOL would exhibit superior visual performance, in both daytime and nighttime conditions, compared to those with a monofocal IOL with monovision.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes with optometrist pre-surgical insertion of DEXTENZA in the clinical office setting in patients undergoing same-day cataract surgery compared to standard of care steroid therapy.

The goal of this study is to study the restoration of quality of vision, expressed as straylight, in the immediate period after cataract surgery with two different phacoemulsification technologies.

The development of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its application for in vivo imaging has opened entirely new opportunities in ophthalmology. The technology allows for both noninvasive visualization of the morphology and measurement of functional parameters within ocular tissues to a depth of a few millimetres even in nontransparent media. Until now the resolution of commercially available OCT systems is, however, much lower than that provided by light microscopy. Recently, an ultrahigh-resolution OCT system was developed by our group providing resolutions of 1.7 and 17 µm in axial and lateral direction, respectively. This axial resolution is about four times better than that provided by standard OCT systems. It allows to perform in vivo imaging with a resolution close to biopsy of tissue and to visualize structures of the anterior eye segment with a remarkable richness of detail. The prototype was applied for in vivo imaging of the cornea including the precorneal tear film. The goal of the planned pilot study is to apply this innovative imaging modality for visualization of the ultrastructure of the different parts of the anterior eye segment structures in diseased subjects, as well as in patients who underwent minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). The obtained in vivo cross sectional images and three-dimensional data sets are hoped for contributing to the knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the corresponding tissues. This could allow for a better interpretation of clinical features and findings obtained in slit lamp examination.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare visual quality after cataract surgery between two groups: bilateral monofocal intraocular lenses (IOL) and monofocal and contralateral extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL implantation. The main question it aims to answer is: • does the combination of both monofocal and EDOF IOLs presents an advantage over bilateral monofocal IOL implantation in the daily life of patients undergoing cataract surgery without the disadvantages of bilateral EDOF IOL implantation? Participants will: be randomised in either bilateral monofocal group or monofocal and EDOF group undergo visual acuity testing with and without correction at all distances be asked to complete a quality of vision questionnaire undergo non-invasive examinations to measure residual astigmatism, contrast sensitivity, straylight, optical aberrations, reading spead.
