Comparing two lens options for cataract and retinal surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses (one that gives a range of vision and one that focuses at a single distance) used during combined cataract and retinal surgery. The goal is to see which lens provides better vision for people with epiretinal membrane.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult with an epiretinal membrane (a thin scar-like layer on the retina) that is affecting your vision.
- You need to have or already had a vitrectomy (surgery to remove the jelly in the eye) with membrane peeling.
- This study is for people also having cataract surgery at the same time, using specific lens types.
- You cannot have had any prior eye surgery.
- You cannot have other eye diseases (like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or severe dry eye) that might affect your vision.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares five different advanced lenses (that give a range of focus) with a standard single-focus lens for cataract surgery. It aims to see which lens provides the best overall vision.
This trial compares two types of multifocal lens implants (Clareon PanOptix vs. AcrySof PanOptix) to see which provides better contrast sensitivity. If you need cataract surgery and qualify for a multifocal lens that corrects both near and distance vision, this study may help you learn which option could work best for you.
This trial compares two types of artificial lenses (standard and extended depth of focus) implanted during cataract surgery in people who also have an epiretinal membrane (a wrinkle on the eye's surface). It aims to find which lens provides better vision quality after surgery.
This study tests different artificial lens implants (called intraocular lenses or IOLs) to see which gives the best vision after cataract surgery. If you have cataracts in both eyes and need surgery, you may be able to join.
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 compares two types of advanced artificial lens implants used during cataract surgery. It looks at how well people see after getting one type of lens in one eye and the other type in the other eye, compared to getting the same type in both eyes.
