Posterior Capsule Opafication of Two Different Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lenses

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
On the day of surgery, the first eye to be operated is randomised to receive a Vivinex , HOYA Surgical Optics GmbH or an SN60WF, Alcon, Fort Worth, Texas. The second eye to be operated receives the other IOL type. A complete biomicroscopic examination, visual acuity testing using autorefractometer, contrast sensitivity testing, and standardised retroillumination photography for PCO evaluation, will be performed 6 month (30-60 days), 1.5 years (± 3 months) and 3 (± 3 months) years postoperatively.

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Interventional Model Description: The investigational devices are approved intraocular lenses (IOLs) intended to be implanted after phacoemulsification in individuals suffering from age-related cataract with the need of cataract surgery. Cataract surgery with precedent bilateral randomized IOL implantation will be performed in subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Postoperative examinations will be implemented in accordance with the approved Investigational Plan on subjects and includes: visual acuity, slitlamp examination, fibrosis, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) score and YAG capsulotomy rate.
Masking: Double
