The Impact of Physiologic Cataract Surgery on Patient Comfort and Medication Usage
Sponsor: Matthew Rauen
Summary
The study will pertain to investigating the impact of high vs low IOP on the intraoperative experience and comfort for the patient and surgeon. Our hypothesis is that operating at a more physiological IOP using Unity VCS/CS and Centurion with Active Sentry at a higher, or more traditional IOP will result in significantly less discomfort/pain as assessed by the decreased need for rescue medication and lower VAS scores.
