About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens targeted for monovision can improve visual outcomes in patients with cataract and high myopia (axial length ≥ 26 mm).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

For people with cataract and high myopia, does an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens targeted for monovision provide greater binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity compared with targeting myopia in both eyes? Does an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens targeted for monovision provide comparable binocular uncorrected intermediate and near visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, reading ability, spectacle independence, stereopsis, and photic phenomena compared with targeting myopia in both eyes?

Researchers will compare an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens targeted for monovision with one targeted for myopia in both eyes to determine whether the monovision strategy is more effective.

Participants will:

Undergo phacoemulsification with enhanced monofocal intraocular lens implantation. Attend follow-up visits at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after cataract surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age between 18 and 85 years (inclusive), no gender restrictions;

Scheduled to undergo bilateral phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation;

Axial length ≥ 26.0 mm in both eyes;

Desire for postoperative spectacle independence;

Disqualifiers

Poor-quality preoperative ocular biometry (Axial length, keratometry, anterior chamber depth);

Preoperative corneal astigmatism ≥ 1.5 diopters (D);

Patients with intraoperative or postoperative complications (ie, intraoperative posterior capsular rupture, zonular dehiscence, secondary glaucoma, etc.);

The presence of other ocular diseases (ie, strabismus, severe retinal pathology, uveitis, other relevant ophthalmic diseases that might affect outcomes or trauma, etc.);

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Enhanced monofocal intraocular lens implantation (monovision strategy)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will undergo phacoemulsification with the implantation of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens, targeting -0.5 D in the dominant eye and -2.0 D in the non-dominant eye. The first operated eye will be selected based on the worse corrected distance visual acuity; if both eyes are similar, the eye subjectively perceived by the patient as having worse vision will be chosen. The second eye surgery will be performed within 2 weeks after the first eye surgery. Ocular dominance will be determined preoperatively using the "finger method" . Intraocular lens power will be calculated using multiple formulas \[Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO) version 2.0, Kane, LISA\].
