Study of Etafill in Patients With Cataract Surgery Via the Anterior Chamber

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This prospective, single center, non-comparative, 90-day follow-up, post-market clinical investigation of etafill in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The performance is measured by the preservation of endothelial cells measured by specular microscopy at the follow-up visit in comparison to baseline values.

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

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Specular microscopy to measure the preservation of endothelium cells |  | 90 days post surgery compared to baseline | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Specular microscopy to measure the corneal thickness |  | post surgery, 1 day and 90 days post surgery compared to baseline | 
| Intraocular pressure measurement |  | post surgery, 1 day and 90 days post surgery compared to baseline | 
| Questionnaire to assess the satisfaction with the application | Questionnaire contains the subjective evaluation by the investigator of the IMD's rheological properties as well as the maintenance of the patient's anterior chamber and dome. Scale for the chamber and dome maintenance ranges from flat ( worst case) to full chamber (best case) maintained. Scale for rheological properties ranges from dispersive (worst case) to cohesive (best case). | day 0 |
