Study summary

The primary aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the intracameral application of Mydrane® (standardized combination of Tropicamide 0.02%, Phenylephrine 0.31% and Lidocaine 1%) with the preoperative topical application (Tropicamide 0.5% and Phenylephrine 10%). To evaluate the steadiness of the dilating effect on the pupil, the ratio of eyes without necessity for further pupil dilating procedures to perform the capsulorhexis is assessed.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. pupil dilating

    The frequency of the feasibility of capsulorhexis without additional pupil dilating actions

    Time frame: during first and second surgery: a maximum of four weeks between first and second surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. subjective highest intraoperative pain

    Highest intraoperative pain visualized on a visual analogue scale (VAS) asked by a questionnaire, with the minimum 1 and maximum 10 , where higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Time frame: after first and second surgery: a maximum of four weeks between first and second surgery

  2. subjective perception of anesthetic procedures

    perception of anesthetic procedures visualized on a visual analogue scale (VAS) asked by a questionnaire, with the minimum 1 and maximum 10 , where higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Time frame: after first and second surgery: a maximum of four weeks between first and second surgery
