The Application of Lens Dysfunction Index (DLI) in the Timing of Age-related Cataract Surgery

January 13, 2021 updated by: Yune Zhao, Wenzhou Medical University
Before cataract surgery, subjects in the observation group used iTrace ocular aberration analyzer（itracey Technologies）and IOL-Master 700 biometer to measure the preoperative DLI(Dysfunctional lens index) and SS-OCT image of the lens, and The researchers used the anterior segment slit lamp to take photos of the anterior segment of the subject's lens in a state of dilated pupils .and self-scoring of the preoperative visual quality assessment scale. Healthy subjects in the control group also need to complete the above inspections. After that, three experienced cataract specialist surgeons combined the preoperative optometry data of each subject, the photos of the LOCS III anterior segment and the Catquest-9SF questionnaire score to determine whether each subjects should undergo cataract surgery. The subjects were divided into cataract surgery group and non-surgical group. Finally, statistically study the correlation between the DLI index and the degree of lens opacity that has been collected, and use the ROC curve to calculate the DLI as the best cut-off point of DLI to distinguish whether to perform cataract surgery.

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.

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.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
