Comparing needle positions for child lens implant surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether placing the needle in different positions during a special type of lens implant surgery helps children see better. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to do the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 4 and 18 years old.
- You need a lens implant that is attached with stitches to the white part of the eye (sclera).
- You can come back for check-ups for at least 3 months after surgery.
- You or your guardian agree to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You do not have other serious eye problems like glaucoma, retinal detachment, or strabismus (eye misalignment).

This study compares different places to insert the needle during the Yamane technique, a surgery to put an artificial lens in the eye. It aims to find the best spot to improve outcomes for children and teens.
This study tests whether special visual and perceptual training exercises can help improve eyesight in children who have had surgery for a naturally dislocated lens (congenital ectopia lentis). It is for kids aged 4–12 whose vision is still below normal after their second eye surgery.
This study compares two methods of implanting a special lens (ICL) to correct high myopia, using either a 3D visualization system or a traditional microscope. The goal is to see which method causes less damage to the retina.
This study tests three different tools used by surgeons to fold and insert a new artificial lens during cataract surgery. If you are already scheduled for surgery with a specific lens, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two methods for calculating how much an artificial lens tilts or shifts after cataract surgery. It aims to find which method gives more accurate measurements.
This study tests a new lens for children who have had both cataracts removed and artificial lenses implanted. It may help improve vision after their surgery.
