Detailed eye imaging after presbyopia‑correcting lens implantation using OCT and pyramid aberrometry

Official title: Pseudophakic Eyes Implanted With Different Presbyopia-correcting IOL Designs: 3-D Anterior Segment OCT Biometry and Pyramid Wavefront Sensing- Based Retinal Image Quality

Run by Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery · NCT07436247 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether detailed OCT and pyramid wavefront imaging can describe how well presbyopia‑correcting intraocular lenses perform in people after cataract surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults over 21 who had uncomplicated cataract or IOL‑exchange surgery, have good corrected distance visual acuity (≤0.1 logMAR), clear posterior capsule, no corneal scars or dry eye that affect light transmission, and no other significant ocular comorbidity.

Probably not a fit

Patients with prior corneal refractive or other ocular surgery, posterior capsule opacification, keratometry outside 42.5–45 D, corneal spherical aberration >0.4 μm, angle kappa >0.4 mm, zonular weakness, pseudoexfoliation, poor fixation (nystagmus/tremor), or pregnancy are excluded and unlikely to benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This observational imaging study collects high-resolution anterior segment OCT biometry together with pyramidal wavefront measurements in eyes implanted with presbyopia‑correcting intraocular lenses. Investigators will correlate three‑dimensional anterior segment morphology with ocular wavefront data to characterize in vivo optical quality of pseudophakic eyes. The protocol uses spectral‑domain or swept‑source OCT and the Osiris‑T pyramidal wavefront sensor to derive internal lens aberrations and objective optical metrics. Results aim to link biometric eye models with non‑paraxial optical measurements to better understand lens performance.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could help surgeons choose and optimize presbyopia‑correcting IOLs to improve postoperative visual quality.

How similar studies have gone: OCT and conventional wavefront aberrometry are established methods for characterizing ocular optics, but combining high‑resolution OCT with pyramidal wavefront sensing in pseudophakic eyes is relatively novel and not widely reported.
