May 22, 2014 updated by: Technolas Perfect Vision GmbH

A Prospective, Post-Market-Clinical-Follow-Up Study to Investigate the Long-term (3 Months) Safety of Femtosecond-laser Assisted Cataract Surgery

This clinical study is a prospective, post-market-clinical-follow-up study to investigate the long-term (3 months) safety of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery as a study follow-up extension to the Study #1304 titled as "A Multi-centre, Multi-surgeon, Randomized, Controlled, Prospective, Post-Market-Clinical-Follow-Up Study to Investigate the Impact of Cataract Grade on the Efficacy and Safety of Femtosecond-laser Assisted Lens Fragmentation Procedure".

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental: Femtosecond laser cataract surgery
"Laser group": a pre-fragmentation of the ocular lens will be performed by VICTUS femtosecond laser lens fragmentation procedure.
The VICTUS lens fragmentation procedure is part of the femtosecond laser assisted cataract procedure, which generates precise cuts inside the cataractous lens, leading to a softening and fragmentation of the lens.
Active Comparator: Manual cataract surgery
"Manual": manual group acts as a control group where the lens fragmentation are performed manually without femtosecond laser assisted lens fragmentation
"Manual": manual group acts as a control group where the lens fragmentation are per-formed manually without femtosecond laser assisted lens fragmentation

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse Events
Time Frame: 3 month
Less or equal adverse events (e.g. retinal detachment, intraocular lens (IOL) malposition, etc.) in "Laser group" (pooled from all cataract grades) compared with "Manual group" (pooled from all cataract grades); p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant. The primary study end point is only based on adverse events and severe adverse events which are related to the treatment procedures.
3 month
