Limbal relaxing incisions for high astigmatism after cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests if small cuts in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) can fix high astigmatism that remains after cataract surgery. It may help people who still have blurry vision from astigmatism after their cataract operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had cataract surgery at least one month ago.
- Your cornea is clear and your astigmatism is more than 3 diopters (a measure of blur).
- You have not had any other eye surgeries besides cataract surgery.
- You have not had an eye injury or other surgery inside the eye.
- Your cornea is not thin or scarred.
- You do not have other serious eye diseases (like advanced diabetes-related eye damage or age-related vision loss).

This study tests whether combining tiny corneal cuts with a special adjustable lens can better correct astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea) during lens replacement surgery. It may help people who need cataract surgery and have astigmatism achieve sharper vision without glasses.
This study checks how accurately eye measurements describe astigmatism (a focus-bending problem) using different exam modes. It may help improve how doctors assess astigmatism after cataract surgery so treatment planning is more precise.
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.
This trial tests a special type of lens implant (asymmetric toric intraocular lens) for people having cataract surgery who also have an irregularly shaped cornea. The goal is to see if this lens can improve the quality of your vision after surgery.
This study tests whether making custom-shaped surgical cuts during cataract surgery can reduce your need for glasses afterward. Researchers will compare traditional cuts to tailored cuts designed for your specific eye shape.
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.
