Comparing two devices for measuring eye parameters in cataract surgery

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates and compares the refractive outcomes of cataract surgery using two different optical biometers: the Argos 1.5 and the IOLMaster 700. Both devices are standard in surgical planning for cataract extraction, and the study aims to determine which device provides more accurate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations. Accurate measurement of ocular parameters is crucial for achieving optimal postoperative visual outcomes. The study will include adults with cataracts and assess their potential for achieving emmetropic vision post-surgery.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* 21 years or older (Adult age)
* Assessed to have Cataract Grade 1 and above per LOCS III or Wisconsin Grading scale in at least one eye.
* Able to comprehend and sign the informed consent form.
* Potential postoperative best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) of 0.3 logMAR or better and targeted post-op refraction to be emmetropia, based on the investigator expert medical opinion.

Exclusion Criteria:

* No active ocular infection or inflammation
* Unable to fixate due to nystagmus or other eye movement abnormality (e.g., significant strabismus)
* Contraindicated for pupil dilation (e.g., narrow angles, allergies) per medical judgement of the investigator.
* Any ocular disease and/or condition that, in the investigator's clinical judgment, may put the subject at significant risk, may compromise study result or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study.
