NCT00537992

Brief Summary

Although commonly used in cataract surgery, the use of the blue light-filter IOLs in vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery has not been reported yet. A prospective controlled clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effect of the blue light-filter IOL on the surgeon's ability to perform specific vitreoretinal procedures and on the patients' outcome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • intraoperative conditions for the surgeon (scaled questionnaire) and patients´ outcome

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • complication rates and vitreoretinal diagnoses

Interventions

UV-filter IOL (transparent IOL group) or a blue light-filter IOL (yellow IOL group) combined with a vitreoretinal procedure

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis vitreoretinal pathology (diabetic vitreous hemorrhage, macular hole, epiretinal membrane or persisting macula edema)
  • Coexisting significant cataract
  • The need for combined surgery ( pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification and IOL implantation)
  • Age over 50 years.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pseudophakia on the non-study eye
  • The need for silicone oil tamponade
  • Optic atrophy.
