Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05955846Recruiting
Testing a new cataract lens with a virtual aperture
This trial tests a specific cataract replacement lens to see how safe it is and how well it improves vision. If you have cataracts in both eyes and are good candidate for cataract surgery, this lens may help you see more clearly after surgery.
CoimbraAges 40–75 - NCT07158177Recruiting
Comparing two multifocal lens implants for cataract surgery
This trial compares two types of multifocal lens implants (Clareon PanOptix vs. AcrySof PanOptix) to see which provides better contrast sensitivity. If you need cataract surgery and qualify for a multifocal lens that corrects both near and distance vision, this study may help you learn which option could work best for you.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07325162Recruiting
New eye scanner for cataract patients
This study is testing a new optical device that measures the eye before cataract surgery. It may help doctors get more accurate measurements for your lens implant.
Hilton Head Island, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07325188Recruiting
Smart Guide for Toric Lens Positioning in Cataract Surgery
This trial tests a new guidance system to help doctors place toric lenses more accurately during cataract surgery. It may help people who need a toric lens to correct astigmatism.
Gainesville, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07294716Recruiting
New lens for cataract patients with irregular corneas
This trial tests a special type of lens implant (asymmetric toric intraocular lens) for people having cataract surgery who also have an irregularly shaped cornea. The goal is to see if this lens can improve the quality of your vision after surgery.
LinzAges 21 years+ - NCT04553523Recruiting
Hydrus microstent study for open-angle glaucoma with cataracts
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT06446817Recruiting
High-add lens implant study for cataract patients
This study tests a new type of lens implant designed to help with both distance and near vision after cataract surgery. It is for people aged 50 and older with cataracts in both eyes who have not had any prior eye surgery.
MarseilleAges 50 years+ - NCT06781970Recruiting
Vitamin C for eye cell protection during cataract surgery
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C before and after cataract surgery can help protect the inner layer of the eye. It is for people aged 60 or older with hard, age-related cataracts who are having phacoemulsification surgery.
Jakarta, DKI JakartaAges 60 years+ - NCT06555289Recruiting
New lens implant after prior laser vision correction
This study tests a new type of artificial lens (Clareon PanOptix Pro) for people who have had LASIK or PRK in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see how well the lens works for these patients, potentially improving vision after surgery.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 45 years+ - NCT07084545Recruiting
Cataract surgery lens for people with prior laser vision correction
This trial tests a special lens (CT LUCIA) for people who had laser vision correction in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see how well the lens works in these patients.

Tijuana, Estado de Baja CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01654159Enrolling by invitation
Study of vision and lens optics during cataract surgery
This study looks at how well your vision works and how different cataract surgery lens choices perform. It may help researchers better understand what affects sight after cataract surgery.
Birmingham, West MidlandsAges 40–85 - NCT05432245Enrolling by invitation
Glaucoma implant placed during cataract surgery
This trial looks at whether placing a small glaucoma implant at the same time as cataract surgery can better control eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help reduce the need for medicines or improve control, depending on how your eyes respond.
Panama CityAges 40 years+ - NCT06625749Recruiting
AccuraSee lens implant to improve near vision after cataract surgery
