NCT00537992 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2007-10-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although commonly used in cataract surgery, the use of the blue light-filter IOLs in vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery has not been reported yet. A prospective controlled clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effect of the blue light-filter IOL on the surgeon's ability to perform specific vitreoretinal procedures and on the patients' outcome.

Conditions

  • Epiretinal Membranes
  • Macular Holes
  • Cataract

Interventions

PROCEDURE
