Study summary

Prospective, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center post-market clinical follow up study to investigate the clinical outcomes of a hydrophobic trifocal IOL (PhysIOL POD F GF)

Read the detailed description

This clinical investigation is a prospective, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center post-market clinical follow up study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have bilateral implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses FineVision POD F GF (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium).

The study purpose is to obtain clinical data on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, questionnaire outcomes and PCO rate on patients implanted with FineVision POD F GF.

The device under investigation (FineVision POD F GF) is a trifocal glistening-free hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) manufactured by the sponsor of this study PhysIOL sa/nv. The IOL will be implanted as part of the routine cataract surgery on patients suffering from cataract development.

In total 25 patients will be recruited for this clinical study and receive a bilateral implantation of FineVision POD F GF intraocular lens.

Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of 8 study visits (1 preoperative, 2 operative and 5 postoperative) over a period of 24 months.

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
  • Spontaneously emitting the desire for spectacle independence after surgery and with realistic expectation.
  • 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 dioptres by an automatic keratometer or biometer or >1.0 dioptres if the steep axis of cylinder is between 90° and 120° in one or both eyes
  • 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)
  • AMD suspicious eyes (determined by OCT)
  • 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. binocular Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA)

    Statistically significant equality between literature data and data obtained in this study on binocular UDVA. UDVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 4m distance according to ISO 11979-7:2014

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Manifested refraction

    The manifested refraction is measured by means of a phoropter. The data contains values for sphere, cylinder and axis of cylinder according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This data will also be used to calculate the manifested refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE)

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  2. Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA)

    UDVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 4m distance according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  3. Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA)

    CDVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 4m distance with best aided corrective glasses according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  4. Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (DCIVA)

    DCIVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 70cm distance with corrective glasses for far distance according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  5. Uncorrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (UIVA)

    UIVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 70cm distance. The examination is done without corrective glasses and according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  6. Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA)

    DCNVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 35cm distance with corrective glasses for far distance according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  7. Uncorrected Near Visual Acuity (UNVA)

    UNVA is measured with ETDRS charts placed in 35cm distance. The examination is done without corrective glasses and according to ISO 11979-7:2014. This assessment is done monocularly and binocularly.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  8. Contrast Sensitivity

    Contrast Sensitivity under photopic and mesopic light conditions using the standardized contrast sensitivity device CSV-1000 (VectorVision)

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  9. Aberrometry

    Aberrometry outcomes are measured with a standard aberrometer. The following values will be evaluated in this study: Spherical aberrations, high order aberrations, lens tilt.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  10. PCO rate

    The rate of patients showing posterior capsular opacities (PCO) long term after surgery will be assessed. The criteria is, if the eye requires a secondary treatment to remove the PCO.

    Time frame: 2 years postoperative

  11. questionnaire

    Outcomes measures of a questionnaire to address the general patient satisfaction and possible side effects of the treatment. For this study, the validated and verified questionnaire VFQ-25 (National Eye Institute) will be used. The maximum score for each question is 100.

    Time frame: 3 months 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 Feb 2018 to primary completion in Nov 2020, 33 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 33 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 Jan 11, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
