New way to fix a shifted lens using iris hooks
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a special technique to reposition and secure the eye's lens without stitches. It uses small hooks on the iris to hold the lens in place, which may help people with a partially dislocated lens avoid more complex surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lens in your eye that has moved out of place (subluxation).
- You have not had any eye surgery before.
- You do not have advanced glaucoma.
- You do not have certain corneal problems like Fuchs' dystrophy, scarring, or a previous cornea transplant.
- You do not have active eye inflammation (uveitis).
- You do not have macular diseases that reduce vision, like age-related macular degeneration or diabetic eye disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two safe, stitch-free surgical methods (Yamane vs. 4-flanged technique) for placing an artificial lens when natural lens support is absent. The goal is to find which approach gives better long-term results.
This study compares different needle placement during a type of lens implant surgery for children who need it. The goal is to see which position gives the best results.
This trial studies whether a specific, “viscoelastic-free” technique for implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery is safe and works well for people with stable near-sightedness. It may help by improving the way the lens is inserted while closely monitoring eye safety and vision results.
This trial tests a new artificial lens that may adjust focus after cataract surgery, potentially improving vision at multiple distances. The study is for adults having routine cataract removal and lens replacement.
This study tests special lenses (IOLs) that aim to correct presbyopia (trouble seeing up close) in people with complex cataracts or other eye conditions. It may help if you have a lens that is partially out of place, long-term eye inflammation, a cataract after laser eye surgery, or if you are missing a lens and need a new 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.
