Comparing two cataract lens implants: Clareon vs. Tecnis
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery to see which one gives better vision. It is for people who need cataract removal in both eyes and have healthy eyes otherwise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult diagnosed with age-related cataracts in both eyes.
- You plan to have cataract surgery in both eyes and receive one of the two study lenses.
- Your surgeon expects you to have 20/25 vision or better after surgery in each eye.
- Your surgeon expects your remaining astigmatism (blur from eye shape) to be low (0.50 diopters or less) after surgery.
- Your eyes have no other major problems besides cataracts, like severe dry eye, glaucoma, or macular disease.
- You have not had any eye surgery before, including laser vision correction.

This study compares two types of advanced artificial lens implants used during cataract surgery. It looks at how well people see after getting one type of lens in one eye and the other type in the other eye, compared to getting the same type in both eyes.
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 different artificial lens implants (called intraocular lenses or IOLs) to see which gives the best vision after cataract surgery. If you have cataracts in both eyes and need surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new type of lens implant (Clareon TruPlus) used during cataract surgery. Researchers will measure how well patients see afterward and how satisfied they are with their vision.
This study compares two types of advanced lens implants (Alcon Vivity Toric and RxSight LAL+) for people with cataracts and astigmatism. The goal is to see which lens gives better vision after surgery.
This study compares two types of advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs), the Tecnis PureSee and the Comfort Z-EDOF, placed during cataract surgery. The goal is to see which lens gives better all-around vision, with the dominant eye corrected for distance and the non-dominant eye slightly under-corrected to help with reading.
