Clinical Trial: Femtosecond Laser for Cataract Surgery

Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Prospective, Randomized Study of Cataract Surgery With the Assistance of the OptiMedica Femtosecond Laser System Compared to Standard Surgical Procedure of Continuous Cu

Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy the OptiMedica Femtosecond Laser System, also known as the Catalys™ Precision Laser System, to perform two surgical maneuvers used in the treatment of subjects with cataracts. Efficacy will be evaluated by comparisons to the standard surgical procedure of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) and ultrasonic phacoemulsification.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Abbott Medical Optics

Current Primary Outcome: Capsulotomy Dimension [ Time Frame: Day of Surgery ]

Capsulotomy size will be measured during surgery for both the experimental and control groups.


Original Primary Outcome:

Current Secondary Outcome: Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE) [ Time Frame: Day of Surgery ]

CDE (the amount of ultrasound energy delivered during phacoemulsification of the crystalline lens) used will be measured during surgery.


Original Secondary Outcome:
