Two stitch-free lens fixation methods compared
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two safe, stitch-free surgical methods (Yamane vs. 4-flanged technique) for placing an artificial lens when natural lens support is absent. The goal is to find which approach gives better long-term results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a new or repositioned artificial lens because the natural lens support is missing.
- You are willing to give informed consent and come for follow-up visits.
- You do not have any active inflammation in your eye.
- You do not have any condition making sutureless surgery unsafe (like a glaucoma drainage bleb or weak sclera).

This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a new artificial lens (IOL) during cataract surgery in people with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. It aims to find which method works best for these patients.
This trial compares two methods for calculating how much an artificial lens tilts or shifts after cataract surgery. It aims to find which method gives more accurate measurements.
This trial tests a special technique to reposition and secure the eye's lens without stitches. It uses small hooks on the iris to hold the lens in place, which may help people with a partially dislocated lens avoid more complex surgery.
This trial studies whether a specific, “viscoelastic-free” technique for implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery is safe and works well for people with stable near-sightedness. It may help by improving the way the lens is inserted while closely monitoring eye safety and vision results.
This study checks how well a new type of artificial lens stays in place after cataract surgery. It is for people who need cataract surgery in both eyes and are expected to see well after the procedure.
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).
