Visual Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction With Bilateral PanOptix Verses Bilateral Synergy

Background:

• The Tecnis Synergy intraocular lens (IOL) has a claim to allow patients to experience continuous high-contrast vision from far through near even in low-light conditions.
• A J&J-sponsored post marketing study done outside of the US claim superiority of range of vision for the Tecnis Synergy IOL over the PanOptix IOL.

Hypothesis:

• Patients with bilateral Panoptix IOLs have non-inferior distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity compared to patients with bilateral Synergy IOLs in both photopic and mesopic conditions with less glare, haloes, and/or starbursts.

Unmet Medical Need:

• There is a need to look at patient visual outcomes and the visual disturbance profile comparing trifocal technology with combined EDOF/Bifocal technology in the United States.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Pseudophakia
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: Visual Acuity; Diagnostic test: Defocus Curve; Diagnostic test: Halo and Glare testing; Other: Patient Questionnaires

Detailed Description

• This is a non-interventional single center, two-arm comparative study of the outcomes for patients following successful, uncomplicated cataract surgery.
• There will be 155 subjects enrolled in each arm (310 subjects total).
• Consecutive screening will be used for enrollment beginning from the first bilateral IOL implanted.
• All testing will be at a single site with subjects coming from 4 surgeons (all use similar surgical technique) at that site.
• Each surgeon will contribute a minimum of ten subjects per arm.
• Subjects will be assessed post-operatively during a minimum of five months after their second-eye surgery.
• Binocular defocus curves will be performed from +1.00 to -4.00 in 0.50 diopter steps and with +0.25 and -0.25 added.
• Self-reporting of visual complaints will be assessed.
• IOLSAT (IOL Satisfaction) and QUVID (Quality of Vision After Surgery) questionnaire will be administered at the study visit.
• Halo and Glare simulator VS Halo & Glare (visu-med.com) will be administered at the study visit.
• All visual acuity testing will be measured in LogMar and all study technicians and evaluators will be masked.
• PanOptix subjects will have been implanted with the toric and non-toric models.
• Synergy subjects will have been implanted with the toric and non-toric models.
• Demographic data will be collected to match the groups as closely as possible.
