Anterior Capsule Polishing Effect on Effective Lens Position

January 14, 2015 updated by: Yang Gao, Shandong University

Effect of Anterior Capsule Polishing on Effective Lens Position After Cataract Surgery

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of anterior capsule polishing on effective lens position (ELP) and actual axial movement of the intraocular lens (IOL) by measuring anterior chamber depth (ACD)
  • patients with bilateral age-related cataract undergo bilateral uneventful cataract surgeries with in-the- bag implantation of a single-piece hydrophobic acrylic foldable IOL (SN60WF). The anterior capsule was extensively polished using Whitman Shepherd Double-Ended Capsule Polisher in one eye randomly, and the other not. The ACD was measured 1day, 1 week, 1month, 3 months and 6 months with anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomograph (AS-OCT) postoperatively. The actual axial movement of IOL was defined as the root mean square (RMS) of the change in ELP at each visit.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effective Lens Position
Time Frame: 1 day，1 week, 1 month，3 months and 6 months postoperatively
Effective lens position was measured with anterior chamber depth 1 day，1 week, 1 month as well as 3 months and 6 months postoperatively using anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomograph. The anterior chamber depth defined as the distance between the posterior surface of the corneal and anterior surface of intraocular lens in the pupil center along the optical axis. The actual movement of intraocular lenses was defined as the root mean square of changes in the effective lens position at each visit.
1 day，1 week, 1 month，3 months and 6 months postoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Uncorrected Visual Acuity(UCVA)
Time Frame: 1 day，1 week, 1 month as well as 3 months and 6 months postoperatively
The UCVA was recorded in logMAR units at each vist
1 day，1 week, 1 month as well as 3 months and 6 months postoperatively
Refractive Error
Time Frame: 1 day，1 week, 1 month as well as 3 months and 6 months postoperatively
auto refraction was performed at each visit. Spherical equivalent refraction (SER) (sphere +cylinder/2) was used in subsequent calculations.
1 day，1 week, 1 month as well as 3 months and 6 months postoperatively

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
