Adjustable lens with corneal cuts for astigmatism during cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining tiny corneal cuts with a special adjustable lens can better correct astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea) during lens replacement surgery. It may help people who need cataract surgery and have astigmatism achieve sharper vision without glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older.
- You have a certain amount of regular astigmatism (measured by two different machines to confirm).
- You are already planning to have cataract or lens replacement surgery with a special light-adjustable lens.
- You are willing to follow all pre- and post-surgery visits and procedures.
- Your cornea is clear and healthy in the central area (no scars or blood vessels).

This study compares different types of artificial lens implants (including toric lenses that correct astigmatism) during cataract surgery. It may help find which lens options work best for your vision and astigmatism correction.
This trial tests a special type of lens implant (asymmetric toric intraocular lens) for people having cataract surgery who also have an irregularly shaped cornea. The goal is to see if this lens can improve the quality of your vision after surgery.
This trial tests if small cuts in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) can fix high astigmatism that remains after cataract surgery. It may help people who still have blurry vision from astigmatism after their cataract operation.
This study compares two types of advanced lens implants (Alcon Vivity Toric and RxSight LAL+) for people with cataracts and astigmatism. The goal is to see which lens gives better vision after surgery.
This study compares how well two types of light adjustable lenses (LAL and LAL Plus) help you see at different distances after cataract surgery, compared to a standard lens. It aims to see if the light adjustable lens can reduce the need for glasses.
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.
