Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Bilateral cataract for which uneventful phacoemulsification and IOL implantation is planned; - Predicted residual refractive astigmatism of >=0.75 to
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Irregular astigmatism or abnormal corneal topography; - Previous intraocular or corneal (refractive) surgery; - Hard contact lens wear; - Dilated pupillary diameter smaller than 6 mm; - Projected corrected visual acuity higher than 0.2 logMar (lower than 0.63 decimal); - Visual limiting ocular comorbidity: e.g. macular pathology, uncontrolled glaucoma; - Traumatic cataract or pseudoexfoliation; - Target refraction other than emmetropia; - Require an IOL that is not within the available power range of the manufacturer; - Pregnancy (current and planned) or lactation; - Patients participating in another drug or device investigation; - Unavailable to undergo second eye surgery within two weeks of first eye surgery; - Patients unable to consent or complete follow-up visits.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameter is the mean UDVA of the toric IOL group after cataract operations compared to the non-toric IOL group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints are: - Cost-effectiveness: multi-country short-term trial-based economic evaluation (TBEE) and long-term model-based economic evaluation (MBEE); - The proportion of eyes that achieve postoperative refractive astigmatism =20/25 and 20/30; - Prediction accuracy of mathematical models (that estimate the TCA) vs direct measurements of the TCA in mild PEA; - Change in PROMs from preoperative to 12 weeks postoperative; - The achieved level of reduced activity limitations after surgery; - Patient satisfaction with vision. | — |
