PMCF Study on Monofocal Toric IOL (PODEYE TORIC) in Asia

This is a single-center, prospective, open-label PMCF study whereby patients undergoing routine cataract surgery will have mono- or bilateral implantation of hydrophobic acrylic monofocal toric intraocular lens PODEYE TORIC. The device under investigation is a hydrophobic acrylic monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) manufactured by the sponsor of this study. The refractive power of the lens has a spherical and a cylindrical component. The IOLs will be implanted in the course of routine cataract surgery and will benefit to patients suffering from cataract development and showing pre-existing corneal astigmatism. If only one eye qualifies for toric lens implantation due to small amount of pre-existing corneal astigmatism, one eye will be implanted with PODEYE TORIC and the contralateral eye will be received an implantation with the monofocal parent lens PODEYE. The study purpose is to determine safety, rotational stability, refractive and visual performance, contrast sensitivity, patient satisfaction and PCO rate after mono- or bilateral implantation of PODEYE TORIC intraocular lens. In total approx. 45 patients will be recruited for this clinical study and undergo mono- or bilateral implantation of PODEYE TORIC intraocular lens. The maximum time between 1st and 2nd eye implantation is 30 days. Subjects participating in the trial will attend a total of maximum 12 study visits over a period of 330-420 days (preoperative, operative, 1-2 days, 7-14 days, 30-60 days, 120-180 days and 330-420 days postoperative visits). Subjects would have the option for unscheduled visits if required medically.
