enVista Trifocal Intraocular Lenses for Cataracts
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a new trifocal lens, the enVista MX60EFH trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs), used during cataract surgery to improve vision at various distances. The study compares this trifocal lens to a standard single-focus lens, the enVista MX60E monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs), to determine which performs better. Individuals with cataracts affecting their vision and planning cataract surgery might be suitable for this trial. If cataracts make everyday tasks like reading or driving difficult, this trial may be relevant. As an unphased trial, it offers an opportunity to contribute to the understanding of new lens technologies for cataract surgery.
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it does exclude those using drugs that interfere with visual performance or have used certain medications like Flomax® within 30 days of enrollment.
What prior data suggests that these intraocular lenses are safe?
Research has shown that the enVista trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) is generally well-tolerated. These lenses help people see clearly at different distances. In past studies, many patients needed glasses less often, indicating the lens works effectively.
Safety data from earlier studies revealed that most patients did not experience serious problems. Some common side effects were mild, such as seeing glare or halos around lights, especially at night. These side effects are typical for this type of lens and usually lessen over time.
It is important to know that clinical trials are testing this lens for cataract surgery. Trials for new treatments focus heavily on safety, so researchers closely monitor and manage any serious side effects.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about the enVista MX60EFH trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) because it offers a unique approach to improving vision after cataract surgery. Unlike standard monofocal lenses that only enhance vision at one distance, this trifocal lens is designed to provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, reducing the need for additional glasses or contact lenses. Its hydrophobic acrylic material also helps reduce the risk of clouding over time, maintaining clear vision for longer. This multifaceted design could significantly enhance the quality of life for patients by offering a broader range of vision correction in a single lens.
What evidence suggests that these intraocular lenses are effective for vision improvement?
Studies have shown that the enVista trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), which participants in this trial may receive, can improve vision at various distances for people with cataracts. Nearly 93% of patients reported satisfaction with their near vision after receiving this lens. This trifocal IOL replaces the eye's natural lens and provides clear vision for near, far, and intermediate distances. Research indicates that this lens effectively offers a full range of vision, which greatly aids in everyday activities.12345
