Study summary

Prospective, randomised, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center post-market clinical follow up study to compare the clinical outcomes of two trifocal IOLs with different material

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomised, 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. The patients will either be implanted with the hydrophobic IOL FineVision POD F GF or the hydrophilic IOL FineVision Pod F.

The primary and secondary effectiveness data for visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, halometry, aberrometry, questionnaire outcomes and any adverse events will be collected.

Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of 10 study visits (1 preoperative, 2 operative and 7 postoperative) over a period of 3 months. Subjects would have the option for unscheduled visits if required medically.

Primary endpoint data will be collected at the 3 months follow up visit. Data analyses will be done after the last patient finished the final examination to support the study publication plan.

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 Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA) under photopic light conditions.

    The primary study end point is to show statistically equal visual acuity outcomes between both study groups. The primary study endpoint parameter is monocular Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA) under photopic light conditions. 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 - Sphere

    The spherical part of the manifested refraction is measured by means of a phoropter. The examination is done according to ISO 11979-7:2014.

    Time frame: 3 months postoperative

  2. Manifested refraction - Cylinder

    The cylindrical part of the manifested refraction is measured by means of a phoropter. Amount of cylinder and cylinder axis will be noted. The examination is done 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

  3. 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 binocularly.

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 May 2019, 19 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 19 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 May 6, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
