Study information
Scientific title
Effect of a plate haptic design on IntraOcular Lens rotational-and-axial stability and posterior capsule opacification: a randomised trial (Acrismart versus Acrilyc IntraOcular Lenses)
Acronym
Study hypothesis
Is the evaluation of the rotational stability (of importance for toric models), the axial stability (of importance regarding postoperative refractive outcome and refractive surprises) and the development of posterior capsular opacification of a modern MicroIncision Cataract Surgery (MICS)-compatible single-piece IntraOcular Lens (IOL) (Acri.Smart 46S) which is CE-marked and commercially available (since 2004) compared to that of an open-loop three-piece model made of the same optic material (AcriLyc 53N). Both IOL models have sharp optic edges.
Ethics approval
Moorfields and Whittington LREC on the 15th November 2006 (ref: 06/Q0504/97).
