Testing how corneal astigmatism measures on different settings
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study checks how accurately eye measurements describe astigmatism (a focus-bending problem) using different exam modes. It may help improve how doctors assess astigmatism after cataract surgery so treatment planning is more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You had cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) with or without a toric lens for astigmatism
- Your vision with the right prescription (best corrected vision) is at least about 20/30
- You do not have other cornea problems like keratoconus, a prominent growth on the eye surface (pterygium), or significant corneal clouding
- You do not have other major eye diseases that could affect vision, like glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disease, or severe/abnormal nearsightedness
- You have not had major eye injury or eye surgery before your cataract surgery, and you do not have certain lens positioning issues (IOL is not too off-center or tilted)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares different types of artificial lens implants (including toric lenses that correct astigmatism) during cataract surgery. It may help find which lens options work best for your vision and astigmatism correction.
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.
This study tests improved toric contact lenses—special lenses designed for people with astigmatism (blurred vision at all distances). Researchers want to optimize the lens design to help you see better and more comfortably.
This trial tests if small cuts in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) can fix high astigmatism that remains after cataract surgery. It may help people who still have blurry vision from astigmatism after their cataract operation.
This study develops a formula to help surgeons correct astigmatism (blurred vision from curved corneas) during a laser eye surgery called LASEK. If you're eligible, your surgery may be more precisely tailored to your eye shape.
This study tests whether combining tiny corneal cuts with a special adjustable lens can better correct astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea) during lens replacement surgery. It may help people who need cataract surgery and have astigmatism achieve sharper vision without glasses.
