Clinical Investigation of a Monofocal Toric Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) in Cataractous Eyes

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a Multi-center, single-arm and non-masked study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery be implanted with a hydrophobic acrylic monofocal toric intraocular lens PODEYE TORIC (model POD T 49P).

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a Multi-center, single-arm and non-masked study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will be implanted with a hydrophobic acrylic monofocal toric intraocular lens PODEYE TORIC. The device under investigation is a hydrophobic acrylic monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) manufactured by the sponsor of this study (BVI Medical). The refractive power of the lens has a spherical and a cylindrical component. The IOLs will be implanted in the course of routine cataract surgery and will benefit to patients suffering from cataract development and showing pre-existing corneal astigmatism. In total approx. 28 patients, 56 eyes will be recruited for this clinical study and undergo implantation of PODEYE TORIC intraocular lens. Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of maximum 6 study visits over a period of 120-180 days (preoperative, operative, 1-2 days, 7-14 days, 30-60 days, 120-180 days, postoperative visits). Subjects would have the option for unscheduled visits if required medically.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
The patient who meets all criteria specified in the following 1) through 8) Adults, 20 years of age or older at the time of informed consent, of either gender, diagnosed with cataract; Able to comprehend and sign a statement of informed consent; Willing and able to complete all required postoperative visits; Calculated lens power within the available range; Subject with corneal astigmatism or subjects who is judged by the investigator or investigator to correct of astigmatism as a result of considering the predicted surgical induced astigmatism. Planned cataract removal by phacoemulsification; Target postoperative refraction is emmetropia and potential postoperative Collected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) of 0.5 decimal or better in both eyes; Clear intraocular media other than cataract in both eyes; [Justification for the inclusion criteria] 1 and 6: Cataract extraction is the indication of the clinical study. 2 and 3: One of GCP requirements 4 and 5: Essential condition for implant of the investigational lens. 7 and 8: Conditions to minimize the potential non-IOL factors which may affect the visual acuity data (3) Exclusion Criteria [Exclusion Criteria Prior to Surgery] The patient who meets any criteria specified in the following 1) through 20). Subjects with diseases that affect postoperative visual acuity in the cornea (keratitis, corneal degeneration, corneal dilatation, corneal edema); Previous corneal transplant; Previous refractive surgery; Irregular corneal aberration Subjects with diseases that affect postoperative visual acuity in the retina (retinal degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment); Poor mydriasis; Glaucoma or ocular hypertension; Optic nerve atrophy; Extremely shallow anterior chamber; Aniridia; Iris neovascularization; Microphthalmos; Amblyopia; Rubella, atopic or traumatic cataract; Recurrent severe anterior or posterior segment inflammation of unknown etiology; Subjects who may be expected to require ocular surgery during this study; The axial length cannot be measured with an optical biometry; Pregnancy, lactating or possible pregnant; Participation in any clinical study (drug or device) within 3 months prior to participating this study, planned participation another clinical study during this study, or currently participating in another study. Disqualified by the investigator or the sub-investigator because of physical or ophthalmic diseases [Exclusion Criteria During Surgery] The patient who meets any criteria specified in the following 1) through 8). Mechanical or surgical manipulation required to enlarge the pupil; Excessive iris mobility; Uncontrollable intraocular pressure; Continuous Curvilinear Capsulorrhexis (CCC) with incomplete circle or tear; Zonular or capsular rupture or tear; Significant anterior chamber hyphema; Significant vitreous loss; IOL could not be fixed in the lens capsule; In the event of zonular damage, capsulorhexis tear, or decentered capsulorhexis during surgery, the surgeon should decide whether the stability of the Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) would be compromised by the complication. If the IOL stability would be compromised, the investigational IOL should not be implanted, the subject should be discontinued from the study, and the surgeon should make arrangements to implant an alternative non-investigational IOL.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: PODEYE Toric Intra Ocular Lens Implantation experimental<br>Implantation of PODEYE toric intraocular lenses. | Device: POD T 49P implantation experimental<br>* The investigational lens will be implanted within the capsular bag after removal of the natural crystalline lens following phacoemulsification and alignment the toric axis of investigational lens to the intend axis which was calculated by the Toric calculator software. When enroll the test lenses into both eyes, the lens is implanted first to the eye with more advanced cataract. If both eyes have a similar degree of cataract, perform the surgery first for the right eye. The timing of surgery the investigational lens into the fellow eye will be determined after the investigator and the investigator (hereinafter referred to as the investigator) have confirmed the safety of the previously operated eye.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Uncorrected visual acuity at Visit 4 | Uncorrected visual acuity at 5 m will be measured. Convert decimal visual acuity to logMAR value using the following formula. logMAR value = log10 (1/decimal visual acuity) | Postoperative Day 120-180 | 
| Amount of astigmatism at Visit 4 | Manifest cylindrical refraction for Best Collected Distance Visual Acuity will be measured at Visit 4. | Postoperative Day 120-180 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity | Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity at 5 m will be measured. The objective is to compare CDVA above defined thresholds of the investigational product. | Pre-Op, 1 week postoperative, 1 month postoperative, 6 months postoperative. | 
| Manifest cylindrical refraction | Manifest cylindrical refraction for Best Collected Distance Visual Acuity will be measured. | Pre-Op, 1 month postoperative, 6 months postoperative | 
| IOL rotation | After mydriasis, a photograph of the anterior segment of the test lens is taken using an anterior segment analyzer, and the angle of the toric mark with respect to the horizon is measured as the axial angle. Calculate the number of the eye and the percentage of less than 5 degrees, more than 5 degrees to less than 10 degrees, more than 10 degrees to less than 20 degrees. | Pre-Op, 1 month postoperative, 6 months postoperative |
