Cataract surgery and cornea transplant with special lens
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a special intraocular lens that works with a cornea transplant procedure (DMEK) for people who have both cataracts and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. It aims to see if this lens improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cataracts worse than grade 2 (moderate to severe) in both eyes
- You have Fuchs' corneal dystrophy with swelling or bothersome spots on your cornea
- Your age is between 40 and 90 years
- You can read and understand study information and fill out questionnaires
- You can attend a 6-month follow-up visit

This study looks at how well people do after a specific type of corneal transplant called posterior lamellar keratoplasty. It aims to understand long-term outcomes for patients who had this surgery.
This study tests a scoring system to predict how well people with Fuchs dystrophy do after cataract surgery. It may help doctors plan better treatment for your cornea and lens.
This study compares two types of cataract surgery in people with Fuchs' dystrophy: one using a laser and the standard method. It looks at which approach gives better results for the cornea and vision.
This study measures corneal thickness after cataract surgery in people with and without Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (a condition that can cause cloudy vision). It may help doctors understand how the cornea heals 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 trial compares two different types of advanced lens implants that help you see at multiple distances after cataract surgery. It aims to find which one offers better vision for daily life.
