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 study tests whether making small cuts in the cornea can safely reduce high astigmatism (blurry or distorted vision) that remains after cataract surgery. If effective, it could improve vision without needing glasses or contacts.
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 a special type of cataract replacement lens that can be fine-tuned with ultraviolet (UV) light after surgery. It looks at how well this lens provides clear vision at different distances and helps you see better without glasses.
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.
