Laser treatment to improve vision for monofocal lens patients
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial uses a special laser to adjust the light patterns in your eye after cataract surgery with a monofocal lens. It may help improve your near vision or reduce your prescription, so you may not need reading glasses or a strong glasses prescription.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had cataract surgery with a monofocal lens implant (a lens that gives you one focus, usually for distance).
- Your vision has been stable, and you can return for follow-up visits.
- You have not had any other eye surgery (like LASIK) besides cataract surgery.
- You do not have serious eye problems like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
- Your distance vision without glasses is quite good (20/40 or better).
- You are either hoping to improve your near vision (like reading) or reduce your need for 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 study tests two types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery to see which one gives better visual function after the operation. It may help you see better at different distances without glasses.
This trial tests a special type of lens implant that may help people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness) see better at multiple distances, possibly reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery. The goal is to see if setting one eye for near and the other for distance ('monovision') works well.
This trial tests a new laser device (called TENEO 317 Model 2) for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) with or without astigmatism. The treatment is a type of laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea so you can see clearly without glasses or contacts.
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 trial tests a device that may help people who need reading glasses to see nearby objects more clearly without them. It could be an option if you have good distance vision but need help with close-up tasks like reading.
