Same-day vs separate-day cataract surgery: a cost study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares having cataract surgery in both eyes on the same day versus a few weeks apart. It aims to find out which approach is more cost-effective and convenient for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and need cataract surgery in both eyes (with numbing drops/injection, not general anesthesia).
- You have a caregiver who can stay with you the day of surgery and the day after.
- You live in France and speak French.
- You are not pregnant or of childbearing age (this trial excludes women who could become pregnant).
- You do not have certain eye conditions or health problems that increase surgical risk (e.g., severe nearsightedness, glaucoma, infections, uncontrolled diabetes).

This trial compares two machines used during cataract surgery to see which one uses less energy and ultrasound time. If you are healthy and need cataract surgery in both eyes, this study might help determine the best approach.
This trial compares a new high-frequency pulsed vacuum technology to standard cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) for treating cataracts in both eyes. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for people with mild to moderate cataracts.
This study compares two different cataract (intraocular) lens options in each eye of the same person. It aims to see which lens gives better distance vision after standard cataract surgery.
This trial compares two ways to remove a cataract (cloudy lens) during surgery to see which gives better vision sooner. It is for people with dense cataracts who are scheduled for standard cataract surgery with a new lens implant.
This study compares two types of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery to improve vision at multiple distances. It is for people with cataracts in both eyes who have not had previous eye surgery.
This trial tests two different devices that measure your eyes before cataract surgery to see which one helps doctors choose the best lens implant. The goal is to get your vision as close to perfect as possible after surgery.
