Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main outcome is to assess the pupil size before and after the instillation of tropicamide 0.5% and phenylephrine 10% eye drops between patients who are treated with tamsulosin and patients without a therapy of a systemic alpha 1A receptor antagonist.;Secondary Objective: Deflection of the iris during the operation under standardised conditions;Primary end point(s): The pupil size before and after the instillation of tropicamide 0.5% and phenylephrine 10% eye drops between patients who are treated with tamsulosin and patients without a therapy of a systemic alpha 1A receptor antagonist.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PREOP: - Auto Refraction - Subjective Refraction - Uncorrected visual acuity (UCDVA) - Best corrected visual acuity (BCDVA) - Intraocular pressure (IOP) - Slitlamp examination - Cataract Grading (LOCS) - Pupil size (baseline & 20 minutes after instillation of 1x drop tropicamide and 1xdrop phenylephrine) INTRAOP: - IFIS grading (Grade 0 - 3) - Video recorded (yes/no) - Complications (yes/no) POSTOP: - Slitlamp examination - Intraocular pressure (IOP) - 1h postOP IOP regulation (yes/no)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Deflection of the iris during the operation under standardised conditions;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Intraoperative IFIS - Grading: - Grade 0 - Good dilatation, midriasis maintained - Grade 1 - Good initial dilatation, subsequent constriction - Grade 2 - Intermediate initial midriasis, subsequent constriction - Grade 3 - Poor dilatation from the beginning
