Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation: Patient Registry

Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation: Patient Registry

The aim of the study is to create a patient registry that will allow for comparison of cataract treatment outcomes using phacoemulsification with implantation of different types of intraocular lenses.

This study will establish a registry to evaluate outcomes associated with intraocular lens implants in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Retrospective assessments will include routinely collected preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data. Prospectively, visual acuity, refraction, examination findings, patient-reported outcomes, and complications will be collected for up to 60 months after surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have undergone cataract surgery or are scheduled for bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of an extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens, a monofocal-plus intraocular lens, or a standard monofocal intraocular lens.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Anterior or posterior segment pathologies affecting postoperative visual acuity, including but not limited to: severe dry eye syndrome, corneal dystrophies, uveitis, retinal degenerative changes, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy.
• Pseudoexfoliation syndrome
• Keratoconus
• History of laser refractive surgery
• Prior ocular surgery other than cataract surgery
• Amblyopia
• Posterior capsule opacification
• Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) less 0.5
• Intraoperative complications, including posterior capsule rupture
