Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In Model XRA03, the spherical diffractive posterior surface of the lens optic has been modified to provide an increased range of vision and partially corrects for chromatic aberrations. After phacoemulsification/removal of a cataractous lens, the study device is implanted using a manual "Platinum 1" screw style Unfolder/handpiece through a minimally invasive (~2.4mm) corneal incision. A standard operative time is 30-40min. Once implanted, the design benefits are intended to be permanent.
Intervention code [1] 286551 0
Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
The control lenses are an approved monofocal hydrophobic acrylic Intraocular lens. Surgical approach for control device is identical to the study lens via phacoemulsification /extraction of the natural cataracterous lens followed by lens insertion through a minimally invasive (~2.4mm) corneal incision using a "Platinum1 " screw style Unfolder/ handpiece. A standard operative time is 30-40min.

Statistical methods / analysis
For visual acuity data, descriptive statistics will be the focus including mean, standard deviation (SD) and the 95% confidence intervals (C.I.) of the mean. All data will be reported by IOL group. Although some statistical comparisons will be performed between IOL groups, it is noted that statistical power is somewhat limited in this study due to the control group being small in size, thus the study focus is primarily to describe the performance of the study IOL. A statistical comparison between lens groups will also be performed using a one-sided, two-sample, t-test with an alpha set at 0.05. The null hypothesis is that the mean defocus range for Model XRA03 subjects is less than or equal to that for control subjects. For questionnaire data, the frequency and proportion of subjects with a given response will be reported by IOL group. For comparisons between IOL groups, for ordinal data, the Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used with the Fisher’s exact test used for categorical data. For questionnaire data two-sided testing will be used with alpha set at 0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the binocular clinical performance of a design modification to the Tecnis Monofocal IOL, Model XRA03. Results will include descriptive statistics on the visual performance of Model XRA03 in bilaterally implanted subjects (post phacoemulsification of cataracts) over distance, intermediate and near vision. This study is a prospective, non-randomized, technician-masked, parallel-group study of 40-50 subjects across up to two investigative sites. Clinical Hypothesis: The study IOL, Model XRA03 will achieve a mean binocular distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better at each defocus point through -1.5 diopters with minimal levels of clinically significant dysphotopsias (night glare/halos) and potentially provide improved uncorrected intermediate to near vision compared to currently marketed monofocal acrylic lenses.

Results of this study will help determine the design for a larger clinical study that can support market approval and claims for Model XRA03 IOL.
