Reliability and Effectiveness of New Enova Preloaded Intaocular Lens and Cartridge System

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the new Enova® preloaded monofocal intraocular lens and cartridge injector system in cataract surgery

Effectiveness of a Large Language Model-Based Educational Tool on Intraocular Lens Options

Patients with cataracts disease need to choose what type of artificial lens will go into their eye prior to surgery date. Some lenses are standard and are usually covered by insurance. Other "premium" lenses have various benefits such as reducing the need for glasses but usually require out-of-pocket costs. The combined busy outpatient clinic and complexity of artificial lens choices in the ever-changing world of cataract surgery tends to lead patients confused about their available lens options. There is an abundance of educational material present in premium lenses, however these are limited by accessibility and are standardized at single educational levels. Therefore in the present study, we want to test whether giving patients a short LLM powered AI-guided explanation from Custom GPT from OpenAI of lens options prior to their consultation with their doctor can improve visit efficiency, physician explanation and patient understanding of lens options. We will compare two groups: standard of care versus standard of care plus AI education. The LLM in this study is intended to provide supplemental information about premium intraocular lens(IOLs) options to study participants, and is no means supposed to replace a health care professional in the diagnosis, cure, treatment, and/or mitigation of disease. Study is analogous to giving a verified health pamphlet to a patient for them to view and learn different IOL options, in other words, facilitating patient understanding of their options. The LLM will be trained by several health care professionals and MD specialists to provide sufficient instructions. Sources will include verified online resources and MD information. The investigators hope to learn if a large language model-based educational tool can improve visit efficiency, physician explanation and patient understanding of intraocular lens options. New knowledge of this study could guide how cataract counseling is delivered in the future and may help clinics spend more time on individualized questions instead of repeating generic information.

Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation: Patient Registry

The aim of the study is to create a patient registry that will allow for comparison of cataract treatment outcomes using phacoemulsification with implantation of different types of intraocular lenses.

Evaluation of Safety and Effectiveness of an IOL With a Virtual Aperture Optic

Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause changes in vision. Symptoms of cataracts include cloudy or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to glare. Cataract extraction with Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world. Presbyopia affects almost everyone over the age of 50. With age, the natural crystalline lens loses its ability to change shape, or accommodate, to focus on near distances. Thus, individuals with excellent distance vision will still need to wear spectacles for near tasks such as reading, and intermediate tasks such as computer work.
