Find us on Facebook GO & EXPRESS Page 9 advertising feature Study seeks participants Six-month trial to test Fluidvision AIOL on patients after cataract surgery POWERVISION Inc, a private medical device company, is sponsoring the ORION clinical study to evaluate the FluidVision Accommodating Intraocular Lens (AIOL). In the ORION study, patients will receive the FluidVision AIOL in one eye and a standard lens in the other eye. ORION study description This study will determine if the FluidVision AIOL allows patients who undergo cataract surgery, to see distant objects as clearly as with a standard lens, and also to see near objects more clearly than with a standard lens. Eligible patients will receive a FluidVision AIOL in one eye and a standard lens, the Alcon AcrySof® IQ Monofocal IOL, in the other eye. Patients will be required to have seven follow-up visits over a six-month period after cataract surgery. For this study, your eye surgeon will follow the approved clinical protocol for follow-up visits and for clinical measurements. The FluidVision AIOL is an investigational device. This means that the safety and effectiveness of this device has not been proven. It has not been approved by the government for sale in South Africa. What is a cataract and how it is usually treated? With age, the natural crystalline lens within the eye may become opaque (cloudy) and no longer allows enough light to pass through to permit the eye to focus properly. In traditional cataract surgery, the natural lens inside the eye is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). Conventional IOLs are monofocal lenses, meaning they are designed to provide good visual acuity at a single focal point, usually far away for good distance vision. Therefore, some patients may require reading glasses or contact lenses even after successful surgery in order to use a computer, read or perform other close-up tasks within arm’s length. The FluidVision AIOL The FluidVision AIOL is a soft, fluid-filled intraocular lens. The lens is designed to change its shape, just like the natural lens, becoming thicker when you need to see up close or thinner to see far away. After cataract extraction, the FluidVision AIOL is implanted into the capsular bag like a conventional IOL. Similar to traditional IOL surgery, the FluidVision AIOL can be removed or replaced. What are the known risks? The known risks associated with the implantation of the FluidVision AIOL are generally similar to those associated with cataract surgery using conventional IOLs. Some examples of these risks include inflammation, infection or loss of clearness of the front portion of the eye. The same kind of risks are possible whether a FluidVision AIOL or a standard lens is inserted. However, the risk level is higher for the FluidVision AIOL because it is larger than a standard lens. It is possible that your vision in the eye with the FluidVision AIOL may not improve or may improve only with the use of eyeglasses, contact lenses, or a laser vision correction procedure. Your participating eye surgeon in the ORION study will further explain the study risks to you. Ask your participating eye surgeon if you are a candidate for this clinical study and surgical procedure, and to further explain the risks and benefits associated with this type of FluidVision AIOL i m p l a n t at i o n . Study eligibility criteria Patients must meet all criteria to be entered into the study. Key criteria for participants include: ý50 years of age or older; ýCataracts in both eyes and corrected distance visual acuity worse than 20/40 (or 6/12) in each eye; ýNo other ocular conditions, degenerative visual disorders or systemic diseases ýNo previous intra-ocular or corneal surgery in either eye; ýNot using medications that may affect accommodation; ýWilling and physically capable of wearing contact lenses, if required; ýWilling and able to comply with schedule for follow-up visits for six months after surgery ýPatient does not currently participate in any other clinical study for the eye A complete list of inclusion/exclusion criteria is available at w w w. s a n c t r. g o v. z a . For more information on the ORION clinical study, call 087-550-5848 or contact your participating eye surgeon.

ELVIS FUNDRAISER: Harvey World Travel East London presents the Cancer Association of South Africa fundraising concert , at the Guild Theatre this weekend. Pictured are the band members and soloists who will be performing at the occasion Picture: SUPPLIED EL all shook up over Elvis classics fundraiser for Cansa MADELEINE CHAPUT FOR its third year running, Harvey World Travel East London presents the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) fundraising concert, taking place this weekend at the Guild theat re. This year, some of East London’s favourite performers bring The Wonder of You: The Story of Elvis to East London audiences. The show is an energy-filled, biographic insight into the life of the “King of Rock n Roll” which features all of the hits that everyone knows and loves. Audience members can expect a fresh and exciting take on music which is timeless and which has shaped much modern music as we hear it today. “Elvis Presley has been such a determining force in music, before and after his death, and so the ‘I owe so much to Elvis as he is essentially the musician who pushed me to be the performer I am’ music is just so loveable, first of all. It is also the 40th anniversary of Elvis’s death this year and so we are celebrating that as well,” vocal soloist Daniel Anderson said. “On a personal level, I owe so much to Elvis as he is essentially the musician who pushed me to be the performer I am. I have always loved his music, since my Little Elvis days, so I am returning to those white jumpsuits to celebrate the ‘king’ along with some of my amazing musician friends.” Harvey World Travel East London continues to make generous contributions towards the fight against cancer. All the proceeds from the show will be donated to Cansa. “ In the first year, the company handed over R27 000 at the Cansa Relay for Life. Last year just on R45 000 was donated and this year, we are hoping to push the target,” Anderson said. Full of some of East London's favourite performers, the cast boasts Kerry Hiles, Anderson, Marcel Corson and Leoni Armour. Impersonating the same vocal ensemble Elvis used to have is a vocal group selected from the nationally acclaimed Stirling Chamber Choir and 10-piece band, headed by Jacques du Plessis, and this year it will consist of a full brass section. Choreographed by the Jo Jackson Dance Company, the show promises to be a toe-tapping jubilant celebration. Tickets are R100 per person and can be purchased from Computicket or at the Guild Theatre.
