The Femtosecond Laser in Residency Training (FLIRT) Pilot Study

NCT03115216 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2019-09-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This pilot study aims to primarily assess the rate of complication of anterior vitrectomy for patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted (FLA) cataract extraction and intraocular lens placement (CEIOL) compared to manual CEIOL, when performed by resident physicians under direct attending supervision. In this pilot study, the investigators aim to assess what the incidence of anterior vitrectomy is for each group, in order to better understand the sample size needed to assess whether there is a difference between these two groups. Secondarily, it will gather preliminary data on safety and refractive outcomes for patients undergoing these interventions.
