Testing a ring for lens stability in nearsighted cataract patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have cataracts in both eyes and are scheduled for cataract surgery.
- You have high myopia (severe nearsightedness) in both eyes (eyeball length at least 26 mm).
- Both eyes are similarly nearsighted (difference in eyeball length less than 1 mm).
- You can have surgery on both eyes within 1 to 2 weeks.
- You have no past eye surgery, injury, or other eye diseases (like glaucoma or macular degeneration).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether using a capsular tension ring (a small support ring) during cataract surgery helps keep the artificial lens more stable in people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and cataracts. It may reduce lens shifting after surgery.
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.
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 a new type of trifocal lens implant to see how well it improves vision at all distances after cataract or lens replacement surgery. It may help you become less dependent on glasses.
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.
