Unity VCS: A Comparison Study for Cataract Surgery
This study is comparing two methods of cataract surgery to see if maintaining different pressure levels inside the eye during the procedure leads to fewer side effects and better vision soon after. You would have standard cataract surgery using the Unity VCS system in one eye and the Centurion with Ozil system in the other eye. Researchers will measure the thickness and clarity of your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) before and after surgery to see which method is more effective. This study is for people aged 18 and older who have cataracts, but not glaucoma or other corneal diseases. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 105 participants. You would have surgery on both eyes, with the order of the two different surgical methods decided randomly.
- What's involved
- You would undergo two cataract surgeries, one week apart. Your participation in the study is expected to last one month, with measurements taken before surgery and on day 1 and day 8 after each surgery.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your central corneal thickness will be measured up to 8 days after each surgery.
