Age Related Cataracts

The investigational devices are approved intraocular lenses (IOLs) intended to be implanted after phacoemulsification in individuals suffering from age-related cataract with the need of cataract surgery. Cataract surgery with precedent bilateral randomized IOL implantation will be performed in subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Postoperative examinations will be implemented in accordance with the approved investigational plan.

This is a two-part, multi-center, investigator-initiated clinical study comparing visual outcomes and patient satisfaction in subjects receiving bilateral implantation of either the Clareon PanOptix intraocular lens (IOL) or a comparable multifocal IOL. The study includes a retrospective/prospective pilot phase and a prospective, randomized comparison phase.

The investigational devices are approved intraocular lenses (IOL) intended to be implanted after phacoemulsification in individuals suffering from age-related cataract with the need of cataract surgery. Within the study, three different IOLs will be investigated and separately evaluated. Cataract surgery with IOL implantation will be performed in subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Postoperative examinations will be postoperative refraction, visual acuity, slitlamp examination, and rotation of the IOL within 1 hour, 1 week, 1 month and 4-7 months. In the Alcon Clareon toric, RayOne EMV toric and PODEYE Toric group, patients receive a toric IOL according to their preoperative astigmatism

The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of the two IOL implantation methods for eyes with cataract and PEX in a single-center and with highly experienced surgeons. The goal is to acquire relevant information regarding these two IOL implantation techniques, which will help surgeons to decide which approach to choose, ultimately resulting in a benefit for patients with PEX syndrome who require cataract surgery. The main questions are: Is there a difference in lens tilt and decentration between the both methods. Is there a difference in the frequency and amount of capsular phimosis between the both methods.
