The use of I-ZIP® Adherent Ocular Bandage to help cataract surgery incisions seal more effectively

INTERVENTION: The methodology is identical for both arms, except for the application of the I‐ZIP® bandage in the treatment arm, or not in the control arm. Both arms will receive clear corneal incision 2.2.mm wide micro coaxial phacoemulsification cataract surgery. The intraocular lens will be injected using C‐cartridge and wound‐assisted techniques. Patients will then be receive either the application of I‐ZIP®, or not. Within 1 hour of completing surgery: optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination Within 2 hours of completing surgery: slit lamp examination using 2% fluorescein and measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) Day 1 post‐operative examination: OCT, slit lamp and IOP, slit lamp photograph Day 7 post‐operative examination: OCT, slit lamp and IOP CONDITION: Endophthalmitis/cataract surgery ; Eye Diseases ; Disorders of globe PRIMARY OUTCOME: Measured less than 1 hour, less than 2 hours, 1 day and 7 days post‐operatively:; 1. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) wound architecture; 2. Intra‐ocular pressure SECONDARY OUTCOME: No secondary outcome measures INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Routine cataract surgery 2. 2.2 mm wide clear corneal incision 3. No wound enlargement 4. No stromal hydration of wound 5. Typical "older patient" of either sex, no specific age limits
