Study of a toric lens for cataract with astigmatism
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a special lens implant (toric lens) for people having cataract surgery who also have astigmatism. The lens corrects both the cataract and the astigmatism, potentially giving you clearer distance vision without glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a cataract that needs surgery
- You have regular astigmatism (corneal curve) of at least 0.75 diopters in the eye being treated
- Your doctor expects your vision to be quite good (20/25 or better) after surgery
- You have not had eye surgery before that could affect the study

This study compares three types of toric lenses (lenses that correct both cataracts and astigmatism) to see how well they stay in place after surgery. It may help you choose the best lens for your cataract surgery.
This study looks at how well your vision works and how different cataract surgery lens choices perform. It may help researchers better understand what affects sight after cataract surgery.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses placed during cataract surgery to see which one gives better vision for people with cataracts and astigmatism. You will receive the same type of lens in both eyes.
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 study compares two different trifocal toric intraocular lenses (special lenses that correct both near, far, and astigmatism) used during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which lens gives better results for people with cataracts and astigmatism.
This study tests a new type of lens implant that may give you a wider range of clear vision after cataract surgery, potentially reducing your need for glasses. If you have cataracts in both eyes and meet the eye health criteria, this trial could help improve your vision with one surgery.
