Ring for better lens placement in RP cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have retinitis pigmentosa (RP) diagnosed by a doctor
- You have cataracts in both eyes and need lens replacement surgery
- You have not had any eye surgery before
- You do not have severe weakness of the eye's support fibers (like lens dislocation)
- You do not have other serious eye diseases or uncontrolled medical conditions

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 tests a special intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during cataract surgery in people who also have epiretinal membrane (ERM), a thin layer of scar-like tissue on the retina. The goal is to see if this lens works well and safely for their eyes.
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 is a registry for people having cataract surgery in both eyes. It collects information on different types of artificial lenses used to improve vision, and follows up to see how well they work.
This study tests a new type of artificial lens (Clareon PanOptix Pro) for people who have had LASIK or PRK in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see how well the lens works for these patients, potentially improving vision after surgery.
This trial tests a gentle laser treatment (SML) for people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited eye disease that slowly causes vision loss. The goal is to see if the laser can help slow or improve vision problems like night blindness and tunnel vision.
