About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term visual outcome of the cataract surgery using a large-scale and comprehensive database of high myopic cataract and age-related cataract patients. The investigators will further investigate into the various genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to the pathogenesis of high myopic cataract.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Differences in the clinical phenotypes and visual outcomes of high myopic cataract patients

Cataract type and severity of high myopic cataract patients are evaluated using LOCSIII grading system. Visual outcomes are also evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, intraocular pressure, fundus function, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.

Time frame
Follow-up until five years after surgery
2

Differences in the clinical phenotypes and visual outcomes of age-related cataract patients

Cataract type and severity of age-related cataract patients are evaluated using LOCSIII grading system. Visual outcomes are also evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, intraocular pressure, fundus function, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.

Time frame
Follow-up until five years after surgery
3

Differences in the clinical phenotypes and visual outcomes of ametropic cataract patients

Cataract type and severity of ametropic cataract patients are evaluated using LOCSIII grading system. Visual outcomes are also evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, intraocular pressure, fundus function, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.

Time frame
Follow-up until five years after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Genetic diversity based on biological specimen samples of three groups

Sequencing of selected genes (including exons, promoters, 5' UTR and 3' UTR sequences) on a large scale to intensively investigate into the sites and functions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) correlated with clinical features of HMC, compared to age-related cataract and ametropic cataract patients.

Time frame
Analyzed within six months after surgery

Other outcomes

1

Difference in the surgical procedure of three groups

To compare the difference in the surgical procedure of three groups.

Time frame
Recorded on the surgery day for further analysis
2

Difference in the Diagnostic test of three groups

To compare the difference in the diagnostic test of three groups.

Time frame
Recorded before the surgery day for further analysis
3

Difference in the complications of the cataract surgery of three groups

To compare the prevalence of complications of the cataract surgery in HMC,ARC and ametropic cataract patients.

Time frame
Follow-up until five years after surgery
