Choosing the right lens during cataract surgery for very nearsighted eyes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses used during cataract surgery for people with high nearsightedness. The goal is to find out which lens gives better vision and satisfaction after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two kinds of artificial lenses used in cataract surgery to see which one gives better vision. It may help you choose the lens that best suits your daily visual needs.
This trial tests a special type of lens implant that may help people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness) see better at multiple distances, possibly reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery. The goal is to see if setting one eye for near and the other for distance ('monovision') works well.
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.
This study tests whether a small ring placed around the lens implant during cataract surgery helps keep the implant stable for people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness). It could lead to better vision and fewer complications after surgery.
This study compares two types of extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens implants to see how well they improve vision after cataract surgery. It may help people who need both distance and near vision without glasses.
