Toric lens implant surgery for cataracts
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cataract (cloudy natural lens in the eye)
- Your pupil is large enough for the surgeon to operate safely (not a “small pupil”)
- You do not have weak or broken lens-support fibers (no zonular dehiscence)
- You do not have serious or existing corneal (front eye surface) problems
- You do not have glaucoma or uveitis (inflammation inside the eye)
- You have not had major past eye injury or eye surgery, and you have no major planned surgical complications

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a special implantable lens (toric AddOn intraocular lens) for people who have already had a corneal transplant and cataract surgery. The lens is designed to correct any remaining astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregular cornea) after the transplant, improving vision without additional surgery on the cornea.
This trial tests how well different artificial lens implants (intraocular lenses) work for people having cataract surgery. The goal is to understand which types of lenses provide the best vision for daily activities.
This study compares three types of toric lenses (lenses that correct both cataracts and astigmatism) to see how well they stay in place after surgery. It may help you choose the best lens for your cataract surgery.
This study tests whether a small ring placed around the lens implant during cataract surgery helps keep the implant stable for people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness). It could lead to better vision and fewer complications after surgery.
This study tests a new type of lens implant that gives you a wider range of clear vision after cataract surgery. It uses a special laser to help remove the cataract, and the lens may help you see better at near, far, and in between without glasses.
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.
