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.

Detailed Description

Iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) are used worldwide to correct high myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It is used to correct high degrees of myopia in patients for whom laser excimer refractive surgery is not indicated.

The Artisan lens is designed to minimize the contact between the iris and the IOL resulting in less halo and glare from the prism effect.

Several clinical studies show that the visual results of the Artisan lens are stable and predictable. Artisan phakic IOLs provides precise predictability.

There have been concerns that the anterior chamber lens could damage the endothelial cell layer because of its proximity to the cornea. The manufacturer advises using the Artisan lens only in eyes with an ECD greater than 2000 cells/mm2 and an ACD greater than 2.6 mm.

Corneal endothelium is metabolically active and responsible for keeping the corneal stroma in its usual dehydrated state of 70% water.

loss of endothelial cells from increasing age, trauma, disease, or corneal surgery can reduce the density of endothelial cells and affect the ability of the endothelium to maintain it's primary function.

Alterations in the corneal endothelium depend on surgical technique and style; although endothelial cell loss is mainly the result of surgical trauma, continuous endothelial cell loss can occur. Late corneal decompensation often occurs in the absence of direct intraoperative endothelial trauma. These complications can be explained by the toxic effect of inflammatory mediators on the corneal endothelium.

Specular microscopy is used to view and record non-invasively the image of the corneal endothelial cell layer.

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.

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
Changes in the Corneal endothelial cell count after Artisan phakic intraocular lens implantation
Time Frame: 5 minutes
specular microscopy will be performed on a number of myopic patients before and after implantation of the rigid Artisan iris-fixated pIOL to analyze the change in corneal endothelial cell count.
