Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Eligible for primary intraocular lens implantation for the correction of aphakia following cataract extraction;
  • Best corrected distance visual acuity worse than 20/40 either with or without a glare source present (e.g. Brightness Acuity Tester);
  • Less than or equal to 1.0 diopter (D) of preoperative keratometric astigmatism;
  • Willing and able to comply with schedule for follow-up visits for 36 months after surgery.
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Systemic disease that could increase the operative risk or confound the outcome (e.g. disease, diabetes);
  • Taking systemic medications that may confound the outcome or increase the risk to the subject;
  • Ocular conditions that may predispose for future complications;
  • Previous intraocular or corneal surgery that might confound the outcome of the investigation or increase the risk to the subject;
  • Pregnant, lactating during the course of the investigation, or with another condition associated with fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes;
  • Diagnosed degenerative visual disorders (e.g. macular degeneration or other retinal disorders) that are predicted to cause future best corrected visual acuity loss worse than 20/40.
  • Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Accommodative amplitude

    Accommodative amplitude is a measure of the ability of the eye to focus from a target that is at distance into a target that is near.

    Time frame: Month 6

  2. Best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA)

    Visual acuity of the eye will be tested with the correction in place.

    Time frame: Month 6

  3. Rates of adverse events

    Adverse events will be collected from time of enrollment to study exit

    Time frame: Up to Month 36
