Improving Near Vision After Cataract Surgery with AccuraSee IOPCL

Early Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the AccuraSee™ IOPCL for Secondary Implantation in the Capsular Bag to Improve Near and/or Intermediate Vision Following Previous Cataract Surgery

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the AccuraSee intraocular pseudophakic capsular lens (IOPCL) for patients who have previously undergone cataract surgery. The focus is on individuals who have received specific models of monofocal intraocular lenses and are seeking to enhance their near and intermediate vision. Participants will be assessed for their eligibility based on their visual acuity and prior surgical history, with the aim of achieving a better near vision outcome. The study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the efficacy of this new lens technology.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 22 and older who have had cataract surgery with specific monofocal intraocular lens models and require a reading add to achieve better near vision.

Not a fit: Patients who have not had cataract surgery or those with different types of intraocular lenses may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could significantly improve near vision for patients who have undergone cataract surgery and are struggling with refractive errors.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar lens technologies, indicating potential for success in this approach.

14. For subjects who are contact lens wearers, discontinuation of lens usage prior to the preoperative visit (at least 2 weeks for subjects using soft contact lenses and at least 3 weeks for hard or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses) except as required to test monovision acceptance.
15. For subjects who are contact lens wearers, two central keratometry readings with regular mires and two manifest refractions taken at least one week apart (keratometry values must not differ by more than ±0.50D in either principal meridian in the eye to be treated).

17. Subjects willing and able to complete all required postoperative visits.
