AccuraSee™ Lens 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 the AccuraSee™ lens, designed to improve near and intermediate vision for individuals who have already undergone cataract surgery. The lens targets those who had cataract surgery at least six months ago and have specific types of monofocal lenses implanted. Ideal participants experience difficulty seeing up close or at middle distances but maintain good distance vision in one eye. This study may suit individuals who require reading glasses between +1.50 and +2.50 to see clearly up close. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance vision correction options.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are taking medications that might affect the study or increase risk, like tamsulosin hydrochloride (Flomax), you may need to stop them. Please discuss your medications with the study team.
What prior data suggests that the AccuraSee™ intraocular pseudophakic capsular lens is safe for improving vision after cataract surgery?
Research shows that the AccuraSee™ lens, used after cataract surgery, is under study for its safety and effectiveness in improving vision. Previous studies have focused on its safety. One study examined the lens's compatibility with another lens already in the eye and found only minor changes, indicating good patient tolerance.
Although detailed safety data from large studies is not yet available, the lens remains in the early testing phase. Scientists are still learning about its safety for people. So far, no major safety concerns have emerged.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The AccuraSee™ intraocular pseudophakic capsular lens (IOPCL) is unique because it offers a novel approach to treating cataracts by replacing the cloudy lens inside the eye with a specialized lens. Unlike traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs), the AccuraSee™ IOPCL is designed to maintain the natural position and function of the eye's lens capsule, potentially leading to better visual outcomes and reduced complications like posterior capsule opacification. Researchers are excited because this innovative lens might provide clearer vision and greater stability, improving the quality of life for individuals with cataracts.
What evidence suggests that the AccuraSee™ IOPCL is effective for improving vision after cataract surgery?
Research has shown that the AccuraSee™ lens, which participants in this trial will receive, can improve vision after cataract surgery. Studies have found that this lens aids in seeing up close and at medium distances, reducing the need for glasses. Early results suggest it corrects common vision issues that can occur post-surgery. Participants in earlier studies reported clearer vision for nearby and mid-range distances. Overall, the AccuraSee™ lens may greatly enhance vision quality for those who have undergone cataract surgery.12356
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals who have had cataract surgery but still struggle with near or intermediate vision. It's not specified, but typically participants should be in good general health and have stable vision post-surgery.Inclusion Criteria
