About
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of current phacoemulsification approaches to cataract extraction involving high-frequency thermogenic energy versus the use of the MICOR System device using low-energy segment removal with a micro-interventional irrigation/aspiration port to evacuate the lens in subjects undergoing routine cataract surgery.
Full description
This is prospective, multicenter, 3-arm study designed to provide longitudinal, observational, clinical outcome data for the use of traditional phacoemulsification for subjects undergoing cataract surgery versus the MICOR System device used to evacuate the lens prior to intraocular lens insertion and cataract surgery. Only FDA cleared phacoemulsification devices can be used per indications.
Both eyes of the study subjects may be enrolled into the study; however, if only 1 eye is eligible for study participation, then the eligible eye of the subject may be enrolled. Up to 750 eyes will be enrolled into one of three study groups, up to 250 subjects per group, with a maximum of 10 study centers. The 3 arms of the study groups are as follows:
