Study Population

Aphakic adults with potential for > 20/40 visual outcome to participate in a binocular study. Subjects to be implanted bilaterally with study device.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age-related cataract patients undergoing cataract surgery where the cataractous lens has been removed by phacoemulsification, with circular tear capsulotomy, leaving the posterior capsule intact
  • Patients requiring primary IOL implantation
  • Patients with a potential corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better on clinical assessment
  • Patients with normal anterior segments - apart from cataracts
  • Subjects with clear intraocular media other than cataract

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pre-existing pathology or physiology, which may be aggravated by the implant, or may render the implant ineffective and that could potentially cause future acuity losses to a level of 0.5 or 20/40 or worse in either eye. This includes the following:

    • Microphthalmia
    • Corneal decompensation or Endothelial Insufficiency
    • Pseudo exfoliation
    • High myopia
    • Pars planitis
  • Patient with greater than 1 dioptre of pre-operative corneal astigmatism
  • Subjects who are expected to require retinal laser treatment
  • Previous intraocular and/or corneal surgery
  • History of uveitis, glaucoma, proliferative diabetic retinopathy or IDDM, pseudoexfoliation, macular degeneration that may affect potential best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better
  • Operative complications of posterior capsular rupture, zonular dehiscence, incomplete continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, severe iris /corneal trauma and inability to achieve secure placement in the designated location
  • Subjects using a systemic medication that is known to cause ocular side effects
  • Subjects participating in a concurrent clinical trial or if they have participated in an ophthalmology clinical trial within the last 30 days
  • Subjects who have only one eye with potentially good vision
  • Patients who are not willing to cooperate in the 6-months follow-up period
  • Children under the age of 18 years
