Brief Summary

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

This study aims to investigate the impact of depth of field differences between the use of the 3D imaging system (NGENUITY® 3D Visualization System, Alcon, TX, USA) and conventional optical microscope in cataract surgery for highly myopic patients on intraoperative parameters and outcomes.

Detailed Description

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

The objective of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes and parameters between cataract surgeries performed using the NGENUITY® 3D Visualization System (Alcon, TX, USA), a 3D imaging system, and the current standard binocular microscope in highly myopic patients. The focus is on evaluating the differences in depth of field and their impact on intraoperative parameters and outcomes.

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to enroll patients with both high myopia and cataracts requiring surgical intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to undergo cataract surgery using the current standard binocular microscope (control group) or the NGENUITY® 3D Visualization System (Alcon, TX, USA) (study group). The study will compare intraoperative parameters, surgical outcomes, and the incidence of potential complications, including the frequency of microscope adjustments during surgery, total distance of adjustments during surgery, distance needed to achieve clear focus from the corneal surface to the posterior capsule, surgical duration, cumulative ultrasound energy during surgery, and occurrence of surgical complications.

Study Groups

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

Conventional-binocular-microscope-assisted standard cataract operation

In this group, patients undergo standard modern cataract operation during which the surgeon use conventional binocular microscope

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard cataract operation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Standard, modern cataract extraction with standard phacoemulsification technique, and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.

Alcon-NGENUITY® (NG)-System-assisted standard cataract operation

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. High myopia (axial length of 26 millimeters or more).
2. Presence of clinically significant age-related nuclear cataract requiring surgery, assessed using the International Classification System for Cataract (Lens Opacities Classification System III, LOC III), with a graded score indicating nuclear cataract (LOC III NC/NO grade 3-5).
3. Participants must be 20 years of age or older.

Exclusion Criteria

1. The target eye has undergone vitrectomy surgery.
2. The target eye has undergone corneal refractive surgery.
3. Presence of corneal diseases such as corneal dystrophy, corneal trauma, corneal scarring, corneal ulcers, or clinically significant corneal softening that significantly affects the clarity of cataract surgery.
4. Complicated cataracts with features such as extreme hardness, complex composition, zonular laxity, lens dislocation, extensive capsular fibrosis, or those falling under the international cataract classification standards LOCIII NO/NC6 or C4-C5 or P4-P5.
5. Presence of other non-myopia-related eye diseases significantly affecting the complexity of surgery, such as adhesive uveitis causing adhesions, corneal damage due to trauma or lens dislocation, structural changes and adhesions due to intraocular inflammation, or severe uncorrected strabismus affecting eye alignment.
