Laser treatment to improve vision after cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a laser procedure for people who already have standard lens implants after cataract surgery. It may help improve near vision or correct remaining nearsightedness or astigmatism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had cataract surgery with a standard (monofocal) lens implant in one or both eyes.
- Your distance vision with glasses or contacts is at least 20/32 or better in each eye.
- Your vision has been stable and you have no other serious eye problems (like corneal disease, retinal issues, or glaucoma).
- You can attend follow-up visits and follow study instructions.
- For the group focused on near vision: You have the standard lens in both eyes, see clearly at a distance without glasses (20/40 or better), but your near vision is very poor and cannot read large print.
- For the group focused on correcting refractive error: The eye to be treated needs at least 1.0 diopter change (a moderate amount), and your vision without glasses is at least 2 lines worse than with glasses.

This study tests a new laser (called TENEO 317 Model 2) for vision correction. If you're already scheduled for LASIK to fix nearsightedness or farsightedness (with or without astigmatism), you may be eligible. The study checks if this new laser is safe and works well.
This trial tests new enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (special lens implants) to see if they improve vision after cataract surgery. It is for people with age-related cataracts in both eyes who are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests an artificial lens (AccuraSee IOPCL) placed inside your eye to help you see better up close and at intermediate distances after having cataract surgery. It is for people who still need reading glasses and have a specific type of monofocal lens already in their eye.
This study looks at how well a type of artificial lens (Clareon Vivity) works for people who have had laser eye surgery in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see if this lens gives good vision without glasses.
This study tests a new device called Opti-K that helps people see better up close without needing reading glasses. It may be an option if you are over 40, have had cataract surgery or no significant cataracts, and rely on reading glasses for near tasks.
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.
