Study of laser-assisted cataract surgery outcomes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how well femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery works and what factors affect its results. It may be a good option if you have age-related cataracts and regular astigmatism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old
- You have age-related cataracts
- You have regular corneal astigmatism (a specific type of curve in the front of your eye) between 0.75 and 2.0 diopters, confirmed by special scans
- You are scheduled for cataract surgery using a femtosecond laser
- Your central cornea is at least 500 micrometers thick
- The number of cells on the back of your cornea (endothelial cells) is at least 2,000 per square millimeter
- Your best corrected vision can be improved to at least 20/40

This study compares two types of cataract surgery in people with Fuchs' dystrophy: one using a laser and the standard method. It looks at which approach gives better results for the cornea and vision.
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 types of femtosecond lasers used during cataract surgery. It is for people of Chinese Han ethnicity who are 40 or older and have age-related cataracts.
This study tests two different femtosecond lasers (LenSx and Z8) used during cataract surgery to see how they affect the eye's natural response, including inflammation and pupil size. It is designed for adults over 50 with age-related cataracts of moderate hardness.
This trial compares outcomes from multifocal intraocular lenses (artificial lenses that help with focusing) after cataract surgery on both eyes. It may help show whether these lenses give better vision compared with other expectations after surgery.
This study tests a special lens implant (toric lens) for people having cataract surgery who also have astigmatism. The lens corrects both the cataract and the astigmatism, potentially giving you clearer distance vision without glasses.
