Monovision lens implants for highly nearsighted cataract patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of lens implant that may help people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness) see better at multiple distances, possibly reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery. The goal is to see if setting one eye for near and the other for distance ('monovision') works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You are planning to have cataract surgery with lens implants in both eyes
- You have high myopia (severe nearsightedness) with an eye length of at least 26 mm in both eyes
- You want to be less dependent on glasses after surgery
- You have no other serious eye conditions, no prior eye surgery, and no major health problems that would interfere with the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 new type of lens implant that helps you see clearly at multiple distances after cataract surgery. It compares two ways to set the lens: one aiming for perfect distance vision in both eyes, and another that leaves one eye slightly nearsighted to improve reading vision.
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 tests a new type of trifocal lens implant to see how well it improves vision at all distances after cataract or lens replacement surgery. It may help you become less dependent on glasses.
This study looks at how well your vision works and how different cataract surgery lens choices perform. It may help researchers better understand what affects sight after cataract surgery.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses used during cataract surgery for people with high nearsightedness. The goal is to find out which lens gives better vision and satisfaction after surgery.
