Brief summary

An investigational IOL designed to provide improved intermediate and near visual acuity and decreased spectacle wear was evaluated for safety and effectiveness in a six-month study.

Detailed description

The next generation TECNIS IOL designed to provide improved intermediate and near visual acuity and decreased spectacle wear was evaluated for safety and effectiveness in a six-month interventional study and compared to a marketed monofocal IOL. Assessments included distance-corrected intermediate and near visual acuity, depth of focus at 0.2 logMAR and spectacle wear frequency.

Exclusion criteria

* Irregular corneal astigmatism * Inability to focus or fixate for prolonged periods of time (e.g., due to strabismus, nystagmus, etc.) * Prior corneal refractive (LASIK, LASEK, RK, PRK, etc.) or intraocular surgery, Including prophylactic peripheral iridotomies and peripheral laser retinal repairs * Poorly-controlled diabetes * Patient is pregnant, plans to become pregnant, is lactating or has another condition associated with the fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes * Concurrent participation or participation within 60 days prior to preoperative visit in any other clinical trial * Desire for monovision correction

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Monocular, Photopic Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (DCIVA) at 66 Centimeter (cm)6 months (postoperative)Visual Acuity (VA) was assessed monocularly (each eye separately) under photopic (well-lit) conditions using best distance correction (distance refraction) and high contrast, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at 66 cm from spectacle plane. It was measured in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), on an ETDRS chart. A lower numeric value represented better VA. This analysis was pre-specified for the first operative eye only.
Monocular Photopic Distance Corrected Depth of Focus Assessed by the Mean Defocus Curve6 months (postoperative)Depth of focus was assessed using best corrected distance refraction, and 100% contrast ETDRS letters. VA was measured between +2.00 Diopter (D) and -4.00 D in 0.5 D defocus steps. VA was measured in logMAR. The depth of focus was estimated as the dioptric range between zero defocus and the first point on the negative lens induced mean defocus curve that crosses the 0.2 logMAR using a linear interpolation. A lower numeric value represents better VA. This analysis was pre-specified to be reported for the first operative eye only.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Monocular, Photopic Distance Corrected Near Visual Acuity (DCNVA) at 40 cm6 months (postoperative)Visual acuity was tested monocularly under photopic conditions using best distance correction (distance refraction) and high contrast, ETDRS chart set at 40 cm from the spectacle plane using the near point rod. VA was measured in logMAR on an ETDRS chart. A lower numeric value represented better VA. This analysis was pre-specified to be reported for the first operative eye only.
Overall Spectacle Wear6 months (postoperative)Overall spectacle wear was determined for participants wearing glasses or contact lenses using Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire (PRSIQv2) asking if their response is 'none of the time' in all the 4 conditions (distance vision, intermediate vision, near vision and overall vision) of the spectacle wear questions were reported. PRSIQv2 questionnaire responses were divided into two response groups: reports of none of the time and the combined reports of a little of the time, some of the time, most of the time, or all of the time.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

Total of 247 participants signed the informed consent form and out of them 27 participants were never randomized and treated, 2 were randomized but not treated. Hence 218 participants were implanted lens in the first eye, (110 in ZHR00 and 108 in ZCB00 control group).

Outcome results

Primary

Monocular Photopic Distance Corrected Depth of Focus Assessed by the Mean Defocus Curve

Depth of focus was assessed using best corrected distance refraction, and 100% contrast ETDRS letters. VA was measured between +2.00 Diopter (D) and -4.00 D in 0.5 D defocus steps. VA was measured in logMAR. The depth of focus was estimated as the dioptric range between zero defocus and the first point on the negative lens induced mean defocus curve that crosses the 0.2 logMAR using a linear interpolation. A lower numeric value represents better VA. This analysis was pre-specified to be reported for the first operative eye only.

Time frame: 6 months (postoperative)

Population: The safety (SF) population included all eyes and subjects implanted in at least one eye with either a test or control IOL with data available at the time of analysis (i.e., no data imputation). Here 'N' (number of participants and number of eyes analyzed) signifies the number of participants and their first eye evaluated for this outcome measure.
