Study of a new device to improve near vision
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called Opti-K that helps people see better up close without needing reading glasses. It may be an option if you are over 40, have had cataract surgery or no significant cataracts, and rely on reading glasses for near tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years old or older.
- You must not have a significant cataract, or you must have already had cataract surgery in the eye being treated.
- You should need reading glasses or a bifocal addition between +1.00 and +3.00.
- You must not wear contact lenses regularly.
- You must have no history of eye surgeries (like LASIK or previous corneal surgery) in the eye being treated, and no glaucoma, diabetes, or other serious eye conditions.
- You must be able to attend all follow-up visits and sign a consent form.

This trial tests a new treatment called the VIS Opti-K™ System to help people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close) see better without glasses. It uses a special lens to improve near vision in one eye while keeping distance vision clear.
This trial tests a tiny device inserted into the eye to help people aged 45–60 who have trouble seeing up close. If you have good distance vision but struggle reading or seeing near objects, this study may help you see better without glasses for reading.
This study compares two types of glasses (single-vision vs. progressive lenses) to see which one helps people with aging-related reading difficulty (presbyopia) see better and feel better in daily life. You may qualify if you are 40–70 and have trouble reading up close but haven't used reading glasses recently.
This study looks at whether an intervention can improve near vision problems (presbyopia) in people who do detailed near work and have eye strain. Because it involves workplace productivity, you must meet specific work and vision requirements and be able to complete follow-up.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment to help aging eyes focus better on close objects, which could reduce the need for reading glasses.
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.
