Brief summary
Prospective, randomised, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center clinical study to compare the clinical outcomes of two trifocal IOLs differing in the dominance of additional power. The investigational device POD L GF shows dominance for the intermediate addition (+1.75 D), whereas the control device POD F GF shows dominance for the near addition (+3.5 D). Implantation of the IOLs is bilaterally.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, randomised, controlled, single-surgeon, single-center clinical study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have bilateral implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses. The patients will either be implanted with the hydrophobic IOL FineVision POD L GF or the hydrophobic IOL FineVision POD F GF (both lenses: (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium). The devices under investigation (FineVision POD L GF and POD F GF) are trifocal glistening-free acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) manufactured by the sponsor of this study PhysIOL sa/nv. Both consist of the same hydrophobic material. The main difference between the lenses is the dominance of additional power. The investigational device POD L GF shows dominance for the intermediate addition (+1.75 D), whereas the control device POD F GF shows dominance for the near addition (+3.5 D). The IOLs will be implanted as part of the routine cataract surgery on patients suffering from cataract development. Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of 10 study visits (1 preoperative, 2 operative and 7 postoperative) over a period of 6 months. Subjects would have the option for unscheduled visits if required medically. Primary and secondary endpoint data will be collected at the 6 months follow up visit. Data analyses will be done after the last patient finished the final examination to support the study publication plan.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| monocular Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) under photopic light conditions. | 3 months postoperative | No statistically significant difference between the two study groups on monocular CDVA at 3 months follow up visit.
