Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of capsulotomy assisted by intraocular caliper and Verion navigation system in phacoemulsification surgery and postoperative visual quality of patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) is an important and technically challenging procedure in cataract surgery. However, most surgeons perform CCC by experience or referring to the pupil size, which is highly subjective and the accuracy of capsulorhexis is unsatisfactory. The investigators developed a new modified intraocular caliper with standard calibration on the rinse needle, which can measure and locate the position of capsulorhexis. The surgeon can gently use the blunt needle in the front of the intraocular caliper to further make corresponding markers on the lens anterior capsule, and then carry out capsulotomy according to the marks. We found intraocular caliper-assisted capsulotomy can obviously improve the accuracy of capsulorhexis. The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy and postoperative visual quality of intraocular caliper-assisted capsulotomy with those of digital image projection device VERION navigation system.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intraocular caliper-assisted capsulotomy group

In intraocular caliper-assisted capsulotomy group, a modified intraocular caliper with standard calibration on the rinse needle was used to measure and locate the position of capsulorhexis with 5.3 mm diameter and the principle of pupillary margin in concentric circles. The surgeon could gently use the blunt needle in the front of the intraocular caliper to further make corresponding markers on the lens anterior capsule, and then carry out capsulotomy according to the marks.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Intraocular caliper is a modified intraocular caliper with standard calibration on the rinse needle.

Verion navigation system-assisted capsulotomy group

In the Verion-assisted capsulotomy group, Verion navigation system was applied to project a 5.3 mm capsulorhexis centered on the corneal vertex. According to the projected capsulorhexis, capsulotomy was performed.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Verion navigation system-assisted capsulotomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Verion Image Guided System (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) is a digital image guidance system consisting of a diagnostic reference unit and a surgery pilot for intraoperative surgical assistance. The device can be used to align toric intraocular lens during surgery as well as support manual creation of a capsulorhexis with a predefined target diameter.
