Cataract Surgery Outcomes and Surgical Technique Study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study examines how different surgical approaches during cataract removal affect your vision and eye health after surgery. If you need cataract surgery, this trial may help doctors understand which techniques work best for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old
- You have been diagnosed with age-related cataracts (clouding of the lens)
- Your cataract is moderate to advanced (not mild)
- You are scheduled for cataract removal surgery with an artificial lens implant
- Your pupil dilates well (opens at least 6mm when medicated)
- Your cornea has enough healthy cells (at least 1,500 cells per square millimeter)

This trial compares two ways to remove a cataract (cloudy lens) during surgery to see which gives better vision sooner. It is for people with dense cataracts who are scheduled for standard cataract surgery with a new lens implant.
This trial tests a new system called Polaris for removing cataracts and implanting a lens. It is for people with age-related cataracts who are healthy enough for routine 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 looks at how cataract surgery affects patients’ vision and recovery. You may be invited if you have cataracts and can participate in eye exams, and if mental health or thinking issues won’t interfere with the study.
This study compares two different cataract (intraocular) lens options in each eye of the same person. It aims to see which lens gives better distance vision after standard cataract surgery.
This study looks at how doctors' suggestions help patients with cataracts decide whether to have surgery. Researchers will test whether certain planning prompts make it easier for patients to accept surgery when it could improve their vision.
