Treatments tested in this trial

  • UNITY VCS

    Device

    UNITY® VCS is a CE-marked, FDA-approved ophthalmic microsurgical system that is indicated for both anterior segment (i.e., phacoemulsification and removal of cataracts) and posterior segment (i.e., vitreoretinal) ophthalmic surgery. The focus of this study will be on combined anterior-posterior segments surgery (phacovitrectomy).

  • CONSTELLATION

    Device

    CONSTELLATION is a CE-marked, FDA-approved ophthalmic microsurgical system that is indicated for both anterior segment (i.e., phacoemulsification and removal of cataracts) and posterior segment (i.e., vitreoretinal) ophthalmic surgery. The focus of this study will be on combined anterior-posterior segments surgery (phacovitrectomy).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of surgeons replying "efficient" or "very efficient" to the question, "How would you rate overall OR (operating room) efficiency of the console for the combined phaco-vitrectomy surgery (including set-up/tear-down)?

Responses will be collected on a 5-point scale where 1=Very Inefficient, 2=Inefficient, 3=Neutral, 4=Efficient, and 5=Very Efficient.

Time frame
Up to Day 1 post completion of the surgery
