Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of two different phacoemulsification systems when using the optimized settings for each device, in patients undergoing routine cataract surgery and implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens.
Setting
One private practice in USA.
Methods
Prospective, randomized, double-masked study that includes 40 patients undergoing bilateral cataract surgery. The first eye undergoing surgery is randomized to group 1 (Quatera 700) or group 2 (Centurion). The fellow eye receives the alternate treatment. Pachymetry, macular thickness, intraocular pressure, best-corrected visual acuity are assessed preoperatively, and 1, 7, 30 and 90 days after surgery. Specular microscopy is evaluated pre and 3-months postoperative. Lens removal time (from end of rhexis to complete nucleus removal) is assessed. Statistical analysis comparing both groups and baseline to postoperative visits is conducted. A P-value <.05 is considered statistically significant.
Results
A total of 3 patients have been enrolled and undergone surgery.
