How this study is set up

The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.

Trial stature

Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

Investigator standingUNKNOWN

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.

How this score is built

Investigator standing0/100
No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial

These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

Summary

Prospective, multi-center, single-group, non-randomized new enrollment post approval study to assess the post-market safety of the IC-8 Apthera IOL after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy following sufficient surgeon training of the sponsor-recommended standardized Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy technique. All subjects will undergo approximately 6 study visits and will be followed 24 months post IC-8 Apthera IOL implantation. There is one study group: subjects previously implanted with the IC-8 Apthera IOL and who have developed posterior capsular opacification (PCO) which requires treatment with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.

Study population

Potential study subjects will be recruited from patients previously implanted with the IC-8 Apthera intraocular lens (IOL) and who have developed posterior capsular opacification in the IC-8 Apthera IOL eye which requires treatment with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy

Eligibility as written in the registry

Inclusion Criteria: * 22 years of age or older, any race and any gender; * Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) requiring treatment in the IC-8 Apthera IOL eye * Able to comprehend and have signed a statement of informed consent; * Availability, willingness, ability and sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures and study visits; * Clear intraocular media in both eyes; * Preoperative corneal astigmatism ≤1.5 D in the IC-8 Apthera IOL eye prior to IC-8 Apthera implantation; * Prior IC-8 Apthera IOL implantation in one eye and a monofocal/monofocal toric IOL in the other eye in accordance with the directions for use (DFU) for each IOL. Exclusion Criteria: * Pharmacologically dilated pupil size less than 7.0 mm in the IC-8 Apthera IOL eye; * Irregular astigmatism in either eye; * History of retinal disease; * Active or recurrent anterior segment pathology; * Presence of ocular abnormalities; * Diagnosis of dry eye in which patients are unable to maintain eye comfort or adequate vision even with dry eye treatment; * Previous corneal or intraocular surgery, except cataract surgery; * History of ocular trauma or ocular conditions expected to require retinal laser treatment or other surgical intervention; * Acute, chronic or uncontrolled systemic disease that would, in the opinion of the investigator, confound the outcomes of the study; * Patient is pregnant, plans to become pregnant, is lactating or has another condition associated with hormonal fluctuation that could lead to refractive changes and dry eye; * Concurrent participation or participation in any clinical trial up to 30 days prior to the first visit in the study. * Subjects who plan to be traveling, relocating or otherwise unavailable to attend any of the visits
