Using OCT during lens surgery for better results
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses a special imaging technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) during lens surgery to help doctors see inside your eye more clearly. It may be a good option if you need surgery for a cataract or a lens that is out of place.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a lens problem (such as a cataract or a lens that is out of place) that requires surgery.
- You do not have other serious eye diseases that would affect your vision after surgery.
- You do not have serious medical conditions that would make lens surgery unsafe.

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 tests a special camera that gives the surgeon a detailed view during cornea transplant surgery. It may help make the surgery more precise and safer.
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
This study uses an imaging scan called optical coherence tomography (a non-painful light scan) during surgery to map what “normal” eye tissue looks like. It may help improve how eye specialists assess eyes in the future.
This trial tests a new microscope that takes 3D images of the eye during surgery. It may help doctors see eye details better while operating.
This study tests two types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery to see which one gives better visual function after the operation. It may help you see better at different distances without glasses.
