Clinical Outcomes of MICROPURE and PodEye Monofocal Intraocular Lenses

This clinical investigation is a prospective, non‐randomised, open, controlled, single‐center post‐market clinical follow whereby study patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have implantation of monofocal intraocular lens Micropure 1.2.3. (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium) in one eye and implantation of monofocal intraocular lens PODEYE (PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium) in the contralateral eye of the same patient. The study purpose is to obtain clinical data on visual acuity and contrast sensitivity on patients implanted with Micropure 1.2.3. and PODEYE The devices under investigation (Micropure 1.2.3. and PODEYE) are a monofocal glistening‐free hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) manufactured by the sponsor of this study PhysIOL sa/nv. The optical properties of the lenses are very comparable. The main difference is the mechanical design of the haptics, that is not expected to have an influence on the clinical outcomes. The IOLs will be implanted as part of the routine cataract surgery on patients suffering from cataract development. In total 76 patients will be recruited for this clinical study and receive the implantation of Micropure 1.2.3. and POPDEYE intraocular lenses. Subjects participating in the trial will attend study visits over a period of 12 months.
