New lens options for cataract surgery with cornea transplant
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests special intraocular lenses (lenses placed inside the eye during cataract surgery) that are designed to work well in people who also need cornea transplantation (DMEK procedure). It aims to improve vision and reduce the need for glasses after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 40 and 90 years old
- Have cataracts (cloudy lens) and a cornea condition like swelling or tiny bumps on the inner layer of your cornea, often affecting both eyes
- No history of eye surgery
- No other serious eye diseases (like glaucoma, uveitis, lazy eye, or retinal/optic nerve damage)
- Have a relatively normal eye shape – low astigmatism and not too long or too short eyeball
- Able to read and understand study materials and fill out questionnaires, and attend a 6-month follow-up visit

This study compares two types of extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens implants to see how well they improve vision after cataract surgery. It may help people who need both distance and near vision without glasses.
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 a new type of lens implant that gives you a wider range of clear vision after cataract surgery. It uses a special laser to help remove the cataract, and the lens may help you see better at near, far, and in between without glasses.
This study compares two types of advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery to see which provides better vision at multiple distances. It may help you achieve clearer vision without relying heavily on glasses after surgery.
This trial tests a specific cataract replacement lens to see how safe it is and how well it improves vision. If you have cataracts in both eyes and are good candidate for cataract surgery, this lens may help you see more clearly after surgery.
This study looks at how the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) changes after cataract surgery in people with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, a condition that affects the inner layer of the cornea. It compares them to people without this condition to see if there are differences in corneal thickness after surgery.
