Scientific titleEvaluation of the Morcher BioCom Fold Type 89A "Bag−in−the−Lens" intraocular lens: accommodative performance, near vision and posterior capsule opacification
Study objectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the accommodative and near visual performance of the BIL in comparison to a conventional in-the-bag IOL.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the St. Thomas' Hospital Research Ethics Committee in February 2008 (Ref: 08/H0802/12)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCataract surgery / intraocular lens / accommodation
InterventionPhacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (one of each IOL type randomised to either eye in participants):
1. Investigational IOL: the "Bag-in-the-Lens" IOL (Morcher BioComFold Type 89A)
2. Control IOL: the Alcon AcrySof SA60AT
Follow-up: 2 years
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureObjective IOL movement with accommodative effort (µm):
Axial IOL movement measured 3 months postoperatively with partial coherence interferometry (Zeiss AC Master) under three accommodative conditions:
1. physiological near visual stimulation
2. pilocarpine
3. cyclopentolate
Secondary outcome measures1. Objective amplitude of accommodation (D) measured 3 months postoperatively with aberrometry (Tracey Visual Function Analyzer)
2. Subjective accommodative amplitude (D) measured at 1 and 3 months with the push-up test (RAF rule accommodometer)
3. Defocus curves (logMAR) measured at 1 and 3 months as logMAR visual acuity under defocus conditions between +3D and -3D in 0.5D steps
4. Visual performance (logMAR), measured at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months under the following conditions:
4.1. Distance visual acuity without spectacle correction
4.2. Distance visual acuity with spectacle correction
4.3. Near visual acuity without spectacle correction
4.4. Near visual acuity with distance spectacle correction
4.5. Near visual acuity with near spectacle correction
5. Posterior capsule opacification (percentage area PCO) calculated at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months from digital retroillumination images using POCO software.
