Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designCentrally randomised controlled trial - pilot study
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesTo assess the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial to assess the accuracy of a formula (BESSt© formula) recently developed to calculate the power of the lens to implant in the eye during cataract surgery in eyes which have previously undergone laser refractive surgery.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEye Diseases: Cataract
Intervention1. BESSt©
2. Hollday
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

1. Patient recruitment rates
2. Rates of loss to follow up in treatment arm
3. Difference between target and achieved manifest refraction following phaci in the two groups

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Proportion of eyes with outcomes within +0.25/0.5/0.75/1/1.50/2.0D from the target refraction using the different formulae
