Low Cost Treatment for Cataracts for Cataract (MSICS Trial)
MSICS Trial Summary
The overall objective is to determine the visual outcomes and cost to perform Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) in a small cohort at an academic medical center in the United States. The primary outcome measure will be the percentage of the study group achieving a post operative visual acuity 20/40 Snellen. This percentage will be compared to historical cohorts reported for phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS), when performed in academic centers. A secondary outcome will be to determine the actual institutional cost of providing MSICS in the setting of an academic medical center. The hypothesis is that MSICS is appropriate for a teaching environment (as evidenced by a comparable rate of 20/40 acuity or better at 90 days post op, as compared to PCS), and can be provided at a cost that makes visual rehabilitation affordable to the uninsured and underinsured.
