Comparing two cataract surgery systems
This study compares two different machines used for cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) to see if one is better. If you're having cataract surgery on both eyes, this trial might help improve your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult scheduled for cataract surgery on both eyes.
- Your cataracts need to be similar in hardness between your eyes.
- You must not have had any prior eye surgery (like LASIK or cataract surgery).
- You must not have significant corneal disease or damage.
- Your eyes should not have major differences in cataract hardness, astigmatism, or eye length.

This trial compares two machines used during cataract surgery to see which one uses less energy and ultrasound time. If you are healthy and need cataract surgery in both eyes, this study might help determine the best approach.
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 study looks at how clear and thick the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) is in people with cataracts. It may help doctors understand more about eye health during cataract treatment.
This trial tests two different devices that measure your eyes before cataract surgery to see which one helps doctors choose the best lens implant. The goal is to get your vision as close to perfect as possible after surgery.
This trial compares a new high-frequency pulsed vacuum technology to standard cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) for treating cataracts in both eyes. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for people with mild to moderate cataracts.
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.
