Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for far distances is assessed with LogMar and ETDRS charts for each eye at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months 2. Postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for intermediate distances (60 cm) is assessed using the Jeager eye chart for each eye at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months 3. Postoperative uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity for near distances (33cm) is assessed using the Jaeger eye chart for each eye at 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months 4. Additional correction (diopters), in order to achieve best-corrected binocular visual acuity at intermediate and near distances, assessed with trial lenses during visual acuity examination with Jaeger eye chart for both eyes at the preoperative time and 6 months after surgery | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Rate of visual disturbances (glare, difficulties in night vision, difficulties in colour perception, difficulties in depth perception, halos, distorted close-up vision, distorted vision for far distances, obscured close-up vision, obscured vision for far distances, doubled vision) is assessed by patient questionnaires with scores from 0 (for absence of disturbances) to 5 (for maximal difficulty) designed for the purpose of this study at six months after surgery (follow-up visit) 2. Spectacle dependence rate at intermediate and close-up distances is assessed by a patient questionnaire with scores from 0 (total independence) to 5 (for maximal dependence) designed for the purpose of this study at six months after surgery (follow-up visit) 3. Global visual satisfaction is assessed by a patient questionnaire with scores from 0 (totally unsatisfied) to 5 (totally satisfied) designed for the purpose of this study at six months after surgery (follow-up visit) 4. Difficulties in everyday activities is assessed using a patient questionnaire with scores from 0 (no difficulties) to 5 (for maximal difficulty) designed for the purpose of this study at six months after surgery (follow-up visit) FIL618 IOL Group only (measured in each eye): 1. Surgical capsulorhexis diameter is measured using a mm caliper applied on the excised portion of the capsular bag at the end of the capsulorhexis procedure (in course of surgical intervention) 2. Ocular axial length is measured using IOL Master and/or Ultrasound contact biometry at pre-surgical evaluation 3. Preoperative visual defect measured with Automatic refractometry at pre-surgical evaluation | — |
