Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): Ratio between the iris dilator region muscle (DMR) and iris spincter region muscle (SMR) in patients taking selective alpha 1A antagonists and compare it with patients with no history of an intake of systemic alpha-1A antagonists after 1 year. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PREOP: - Auto Refraction - Subjective Refraction - Uncorrected visual acuity (UCDVA) - Best corrected visual acuity (BCDVA) - Inraocula pressure (IOP) - Slitlamp examination - OCT measurment - Wasca Abberometer measurement 1 week: - OCT measurement 1 month / 3 month / 6 month / 1 year: - OCT measurement - Wasca Abberometer measurement - Uroflow measurment;Main Objective: The main outcome (ratio of DMR/SMR) is to assess ratio between the iris dilator region muscle and iris sphincter region muscle in patients taking selective alpha 1A antagonists and compare it with patients with no history of an intake of systemic alpha-1A antagonists. ;Secondary Objective: Decrease in thickness of DMR Comparison of DMR and SMR of the fellow eye | — |
