Cataract Clinical Trials

This study is a single center, multi-surgeon, prospective, randomized, comparative study of binocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) after successful bilateral cataract surgery. Subjects will be assessed pre-operatively, operatively and at up to 6 postoperative visits. Clinical evaluations will include administration of patient reported spectacle usage questionnaire (PRSIQ), as well as measurement of monocular and binocular visual acuities at distance, intermediate, and near, defocus curve, manifest refraction, measurement of higher order aberrations.

The purpose of this study is to verify the post-market safety of the IC-8 Apthera IOL after the treatment of posterior capsular opacification (PCO), an expected complication related to IC-8 Apthera IOL implantation. Read Less

This study is a prospective, multi-site, multi-surgeon, observational study of refractive accuracy with the Argos using BTAL after successful cataract surgery. Subjects will be assessed pre-operatively, operatively and at 5-8 weeks postoperatively. Clinical evaluations will include measurement of visual acuity, manifest refraction, and preoperative biometry. Read Less

This trial is a randomized study to evaluate and compare two doses of the Bimatoprost Implant System used in combination with the SpyGlass IOL to Timolol Ophthalmic Solution in participants with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension undergoing cataract surgery. Read Less

This is a prospective comparative study that will be conducted at one clinical site in the United States, in which subjects who sign an informed consent form and fulfil all inclusion and exclusion criteria, will have OCT scans obtained using the test and the predicate devices. There will be two main types of analyses performed as part of this study, including 1) a precision analysis, and 2) an agreement analysis. The precision analyses will be conducted utilizing all complete complements of acceptable scans from the test devices and predicate device for each of the 3 configurations. A complete complement of acceptable scans can be defined as subjects having 3 acceptable replicate scans on each of the 3 devices, at each of the 3 configurations. This is also synonymous with 3 scans for each of the 3 configurations on all 3 devices. If subjects have more than 3 acceptable scans per configuration on a device, only the first 3 will be considered for analyses. The agreement analysis will be conducted utilizing the first set of acceptable scans from each instrument for all overlapping measurement types (for all measurement types two or more of the devices have in common) related to performance endpoints.

Tecnis Symfony Optiblue (Johnson & Johnson Vision, Santa Ana, CA, Unites States) is a violet light filtering extended depth of focus intraocular lens (IOL) that provides a continuous range of clear vision at far and intermediate. Tecnis Synergy™ IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision, Santa Ana, CA, Unites States) is another latest United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved IOL, designed to provide good acuity at far through near distances, reducing the need for spectacles. These IOLs are approved/licensed for use and are not investigational. The present study intends to evaluate the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction following contralateral implantation of Tecnis Synergy and Symfony Optiblue in cataract patients. The investigator hypothesizes that the contralateral implantation of these two lenses will allow a good proportion of patients to be spectacle independent at distance, intermediate, and near. The findings of this study may help the surgeons make better decisions on the choice of IOL in the future. Read Less

The current postoperative cataract surgery eye drop regimen used at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is a significant burden for its patient population, contributing to high rates of non-adherence and the development of postoperative complications. The investigators propose to replace this complex regimen with a single administration of intraocular antibiotic and subconjunctival steroid at the time of surgery. This pilot study will obtain the preliminary data required to eventually fully evaluate this innovation in postoperative care in a safety-net population with respect to postoperative outcomes, patient compliance, and patient and caregiver satisfaction.

This study is designed to determine how well patients with glaucoma can see following cataract surgery with a special type of lens called an extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lens. This lens is intended to reduced the patients need for glasses following cataract surgery. Patients will also undergo a minimally invasive type of glaucoma surgery using a special type of stent to reduce eye pressure, with the goal of better glaucoma control and the reduction in the need for medications to control eye pressure.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of antecedent intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy vs. Ozurdex in reducing post-cataract surgery related macular edema in patients with pre-existing diabetic macular edema. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AcrySof PanOptix Intraocular Lens (IOL) for binocular distance corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) compared to TECNIS Synergy IOL. Presbyopia correcting diffractive intraocular implants (extended depth of focus, multifocal, and trifocal) provide cataract and refractive surgeons with an effective treatment means for allowing patients to experience increased spectacle independence post-cataract surgery.

The purpose of the study is to assess whether PROKERA can sufficiently stabilize the ocular surface prior to cataract surgery and improve post operative outcomes patients with moderate to severe dry disease. Read Less

The two main objectives of this study are to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of implanting the PanOptix Trifocal IOL in patients who have had previous myopic Lasik. The primary objectives to demonstrate clinical safety will be the quality of vision questionnaire (QUVID) which will demonstrate the patient's perception of halos, glares, and starbursts before and after the implantation of the trifocal IOL. The primary objective to demonstrate clinical effectiveness will be done by measuring visual outcomes at distance, intermediate, and near. In addition, the patients will also fill out the spectacle independence questionnaire (IOLSAT Questionnaire) to determine their level of glasses independence postoperatively. In addition, at the conclusion of the study the patient will also fill out a patient satisfaction survey. Read Less
