Recruiting studies
- NCT05191706RecruitingPhase 4
Check how safe DEXYCU is after childhood cataract surgery
This trial studies whether DEXYCU is safe to use to reduce eye inflammation after cataract surgery in children. It aims to see if the medicine’s side effects are acceptable and whether it helps during normal recovery.
Huntington Beach, CaliforniaAges Up to 3 years - NCT06327347Recruiting
Comparing two multifocal lens implants for cataract surgery
This study compares two types of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery to improve vision at multiple distances. It is for people with cataracts in both eyes who have not had previous eye surgery.
HeidelbergAges 50–85 - NCT06607848Recruiting
Comparing two new types of extended vision lens implants
This trial compares two different types of advanced lens implants that help you see at multiple distances after cataract surgery. It aims to find which one offers better vision for daily life.
Vienna, AustriaAges 21–105 - NCT04205916RecruitingPhase 4
Preference trial of eye drops versus no-drops after cataract surgery
This trial compares two ways to prevent inflammation and comfort you after cataract surgery: usual antibiotic/steroid eye drops versus a “no-drops” option that is placed during surgery. It mainly looks at patient preference, comfort, and ease of treatment after surgery.
Garden City, New YorkAges 22–100 - NCT07740590Recruiting
Comparing artificial lenses for cataract surgery and quality of life
This study compares different types of artificial lenses (IOLs) placed during cataract surgery to see which helps your eyes adapt and improves your quality of life best. It is for people having cataract surgery on both eyes who have very little natural corneal curve (astigmatism).
ChengduAges 18–100 - NCT07036510RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and effectiveness of a timolol eye implant for glaucoma patients having cataract surgery
This trial tests a sustained-release implant that delivers timolol, a medicine to lower eye pressure, for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure who are also having cataract surgery. The implant is placed during surgery and may provide long-term pressure control without daily eye drops.
Panama CityAges 40 years+ - NCT07165197Recruiting
Comparing two new lens implants for cataract surgery
This study compares two types of extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens implants to see how well they improve vision after cataract surgery. It may help people who need both distance and near vision without glasses.
Sant Cugat del Vallès, BarcelonaAges 50 years+ - NCT07007897Enrolling by invitation
Cataract treatment observation study
This study is for people with cataracts who are planning to get treatment. It will observe your eye health and treatment process without giving you any new medicine.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07321756Recruiting
Presbyopia-correcting lens implants for complex cataracts
This study tests special lenses (IOLs) that aim to correct presbyopia (trouble seeing up close) in people with complex cataracts or other eye conditions. It may help if you have a lens that is partially out of place, long-term eye inflammation, a cataract after laser eye surgery, or if you are missing a lens and need a new one.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05822089Recruiting
Comparing two cataract lens types in the same person
This study compares two different cataract (intraocular) lens options in each eye of the same person. It aims to see which lens gives better distance vision after standard cataract surgery.
ViennaAges 50–100 - NCT07471295RecruitingPhase 4
Study of a toric lens for cataract with astigmatism
This study tests a special lens implant (toric lens) for people having cataract surgery who also have astigmatism. The lens corrects both the cataract and the astigmatism, potentially giving you clearer distance vision without glasses.
Prague, PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07006428Recruiting
Comparing two types of multifocal lens implants for cataract surgery
This trial compares the Clareon PanOptix lens with another similar multifocal lens to see which provides better vision after cataract surgery. It has two stages: one for people who already had the lenses implanted, and one for those who are planning to have cataract surgery.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07218783RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new glaucoma implant with cataract surgery
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07218796RecruitingPhase 3
Bimatoprost implant with IOL vs. timolol drops for glaucoma
This trial tests if a bimatoprost implant placed during cataract surgery (combined with a special lens) can lower eye pressure better than standard timolol eye drops. It may help people with mild to moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure who are already planning cataract surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT05797298Recruiting
Toric lens implant surgery for cataracts
This trial studies implanting a special “toric” lens to improve vision for people with cataracts. It may help reduce the need for glasses for some people, depending on their eye measurements.
Shanghai, ChinaAges Any age - NCT07610226Recruiting
Cataract Surgery Lens for Prior Myopic Eye Surgery
This study tests a special intraocular lens (an artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery) designed for patients who had prior myopic refractive surgery (LASIK or PRK to correct nearsightedness). The goal is to achieve the best possible vision correction after cataract removal.
Greensboro, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06060041Recruiting
Study of the IC-8 Apthera lens after cataract surgery
This study is for people who already have an IC-8 Apthera lens in one eye and need treatment for clouding on the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification). It evaluates how well this lens works over time.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 22 years+ - NCT00532051Recruiting
Test eye scans to choose the right cataract lens power
This study is looking at how special eye scans (optical coherence tomography, or OCT) can help doctors calculate the correct power of a cataract lens after you’ve had laser vision correction before. It may help improve how well your new lens matches your eye after prior laser treatment.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07436247Recruiting
Measuring vision and eye shape after cataract surgery
This study tests new ways to measure how well your eye sees after having cataract surgery with a special lens that helps with reading and distance. They'll take detailed measurements of your eye to improve future lens designs.
ViennaAges 21–110 - NCT06624826Recruiting
Extended depth of focus lens for cataract surgery
This study tests a new type of lens implant that helps you see clearly at multiple distances after cataract surgery. It compares two ways to set the lens: one aiming for perfect distance vision in both eyes, and another that leaves one eye slightly nearsighted to improve reading vision.
Vienna, AustriaAges 21–105 - NCT06719739Recruiting
Special lens implant for cataract patients with epiretinal membrane
This study tests a special intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during cataract surgery in people who also have epiretinal membrane (ERM), a thin layer of scar-like tissue on the retina. The goal is to see if this lens works well and safely for their eyes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–90 - NCT06578884Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new toric lens for cataract and astigmatism
This study tests a new toric intraocular lens (a replacement lens for the eye) designed to fix both cataracts and corneal astigmatism (an uneven cornea that blurs vision). If you are planning cataract surgery or a lens exchange and have astigmatism that needs correcting, this lens may be an option for you.

- How do I know if I qualify for a cataract and iol surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cataract and iol surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
