Study summary

The clinical investigation is a post-market clinical follow up study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have monolateral implantation of a commercially available, CE approved monofocal intraocular lens MicroPure 1.2.3. (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium).

Read the detailed description

The examinations consist of visual acuity data, contrast sensitivity exams, slitlamp examinations and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) grading.

Follow up will be up to 24 months postoperative.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Cataractous eyes with no comorbidity
  • Availability, willingness and sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures
  • Signed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Irregular astigmatism
  • Age of patient \< 45 years
  • Regular corneal astigmatism > 0.75 D on study eye as measured by an automatic keratometer (regularity determined by the topography of the keratometry)
  • Difficulty for cooperation (distance from their home, general health condition)
  • Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase risk or confound study results (e.g. diabetes mellitus (with retinopathy), , glaucoma etc...)
  • Any ocular comorbidity
  • History of ocular trauma or prior ocular surgery including refractive procedures
  • Capsule or zonular abnormalities that may affect postoperative centration or tilt of the lens (e.g. pseudoexfoliation syndrome, chronic Uveitis, Marfan's syndrome)
  • Pupil abnormalities (non-reactive, tonic pupils, abnormally shaped pupils or pupils that do not dilate under mesopic/scotopic conditions)
  • Complicated surgery
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. monocular Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) under photopic conditions

    The primary study end point is to show statistically equal visual acuity outcomes on monocular Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) under photopic conditions compared to literature data on a monofocal hydrophobic IOL (Alcon - Acrysof SN60AT).

    Time frame: 6 months postoperative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) grading

    grade of the PCO determined by slitlamp

    Time frame: 2 years postoperative

  2. Uncorrected Distance Visual acuity (UDVA)

    Monocular Uncorrected Distance Visual acuity (UDVA)

    Time frame: 6 months postoperative

  3. Contrast Sensitivity

    Contrast Sensitivity under photopic and mesopic light conditions

    Time frame: 6 months postoperative

  4. Glistening assessment

    Assessment of glistenings by slitlamp determination

    Time frame: 2 years postoperative

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2017 to primary completion in Sep 2022, 58 months.

Of 190 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Cataract, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 28. This study's 58 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 493 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 29.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 28, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
