Interventions

  • DeviceVisiol

    VISIOL is a 2.0% (m/v) SH viscoelastic solution used for ocular surgery.

    Also known as: Sodium hyaluronate

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Corneal endothelial cells density in percent

    The variation of corneal endothelial cells density (cells/mm2) as compared to baseline (pre-surgery) will be calculated (%)

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery Corneal endothelial cells density at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

Other outcomes

  1. Corneal endothelial cells area

    The area (µm2) of corneal endothelial cells will be measured using a non-contact specular microscopy.

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery Corneal endothelial cells area at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  2. Corneal endothelial cells density

    The density (cells/mm2) of corneal endothelial cells will be measured using a non-contact specular microscopy.

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery Corneal endothelial cells density at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  3. Corneal endothelial cells regularity

    The regularity (variation of size) of corneal endothelial cells will be measured using a non-contact specular microscopy. In particular, the endothelial regularity will be assessed using the following classification described in ISO 11980:2012:37 0 = Regular endothelial mosaic; 1. = Isolated difference in cell size; 2. = Just noticeable variation in cell size or bumpiness of cell layer; 3. = Easily detected difference in cell size or bumpiness of cell layer; 4. = Noticeable cell layer bumpiness and loss of definition of cell borders.

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery Corneal endothelial cells regularity at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  4. The presence of keratic precipitates

    The presence (0 = No, 1 = Yes) of Keratic precipitate will be recorded

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery presence of keratic precipitate at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  5. A description of keratic precipitates type

    A description of keratic precipitates type will be recorded

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery a description of keratic precipitates type at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  6. Central corneal thickness

    Central corneal thickness (micrometer) will be measured using non-contact specular microscopy

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery central corneal thickness at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  7. Corneal oedema

    Corneal oedema grading will be assessed using a specular microscopy. Gradings will be referred to location of oedema 1. = Peripheral oedema 2. = Central oedema 3. = Generalised oedema

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery corneal oedema at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  8. Intra-ocular pressure

    Intra-ocular pressure (mmHg) will be evaluated using a Goldmann applanation tonometry

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery intra-ocular pressure at Day 0 (surgery day), Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  9. Incidence of intra-ocular pressure peak

    The incidence of intra-ocular pressure peaks (≥ 30 mmHg) will be recorded

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery intra-ocular pressure peaks at Day 0 (surgery day), Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  10. Anterior chamber inflammation cell

    Anterior chamber inflammation will be assessed using slit lamp biomicroscopy (1 mm slit beam). It will be classified based on SUN grading Grade 0 = \< 1 cell in field Grade 0.5 = 1-5 cells in field Grade 1 = 6-15 cells in field Grade 2 = 16-25 cells in field Grade 3 = 26-50 cells in field Grade 4 = over 50 cells in field

    Time frame: Change from pre-surgery anterior chamber inflammation cell at Day 1, Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  11. Anterior chamber inflammation flare

    Anterior chamber inflammation will be assessed using slit lamp biomicroscopy (1 mm slit beam). It will be classified based on SUN grading Grade 0 = no flare Grade 1 = faint Grade 2 = moderate (iris/ lens details clear) Grade 3 = marked (iris/ lens details hazy) Grade 4 = Intense (fibrin/ plastic aqueous)

  23. Investigator's subjective judgement

    using a 4 point grading scale: ease of VISIOL injection, maintenance of the anterior chamber depth during the capsulorhexis and IOL implantation, ability to remain in the anterior chamber during phacoemulsification and photolysis, clarity of the substance, ease of capsulorhexis, ease of IOL implementation, ease of VISIOL removal and global impression on the product performance during the surgery. Grading scale will be assessed 0 = Not effective 1. = slightly effective 2. = moderately effective 3. = very effective
