Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Investigation of Corneal Incision Size After Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation (NCT NCT02826421)

NCT ID: NCT02826421

Last Updated: 2018-07-02

Results Overview

Post-IOL implantation corneal incision size was measured directly after IOL implantation and reported in millimeters (mm). Minimizing enlargement of incision size during cataract surgery results in less postoperative inflammation, less surgically-induced astigmatism, and more rapid visual and wound rehabilitation. This endpoint was prespecified for the UltraSert, iTec, and iSert preloaded delivery systems. Only one eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from 4 study centers located in Spain and 2 study centers located in France.

Of the 114 enrolled, 2 subjects did not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, and 3 subjects were excluded prior to randomization for "other" reasons (ie, the maximum number of randomized subjects was reached). This reporting group includes all randomized subjects (109).
