Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Posterior Capsule Opacification Evaluation

    The number of subjects with Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) for 12 months post-surgery of the study eye. PCO may occur after cataract surgery and is caused by residual lens epithelial cells that remain in the capsular bag after surgery and undergo proliferation, migration, and fibrous metaplasia. PCO was evaluated via slit lamp. A lower PCO rate is better.

    12 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Corneal Astigmatism

    3 months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Phaco

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Cataract extraction surgery utilizing Phacoemulsification

Procedure: Phacoemulsification cataract extraction surgery

SICS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Small incision cataract surgery (SICS)

Procedure: Small incision cataract surgery

Interventions

Surgical removal of cataract using phacoemulsification followed by implantation of an AcrySof Intraocular Lens (Model SN60WF)

Phaco

Surgical removal of cataract using small incision cataract surgery (SICS) followed by implantation of a Polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) Intraocular Lens (Model MZ60BD).

SICS
