Nuclear Cataract

The study will pertain to investigating the impact of high vs low IOP on the intraoperative experience and comfort for the patient and surgeon. Our hypothesis is that operating at a more physiological IOP using Unity VCS/CS and Centurion with Active Sentry at a higher, or more traditional IOP will result in significantly less discomfort/pain as assessed by the decreased need for rescue medication and lower VAS scores.

This multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluates Minimal Vitrectomy Surgery (MVS) versus conventional vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). The primary endpoints include visual acuity improvement and cataract progression after 12 months. MVS aims to minimize vitreous removal while ensuring complete membrane removal through adaptive limited vitrectomy.
