Study of a new extended-focus lens for cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years or older and have cataracts in both eyes that you plan to correct with surgery.
- The lens power that your doctor calculates for you must be within the range that this trial lens offers.
- Your eyes must be aiming for a specific target (called 'plano') to get the best distance vision without glasses.
- Your corneal astigmatism (a type of eye shape irregularity) must be mild (under 0.75 diopters) or fit the range for the toric version of the lens.
- You must have the potential to see 20/25 or better in each eye after surgery, even with glasses.
- You cannot have had previous eye surgery like LASIK, or have other major eye conditions that could affect outcome.

This study compares two types of advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery to see which provides better vision at multiple distances. It may help you achieve clearer vision without relying heavily on glasses after surgery.
This trial tests a specific cataract replacement lens to see how safe it is and how well it improves vision. If you have cataracts in both eyes and are good candidate for cataract surgery, this lens may help you see more clearly after 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 extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens implants to see how well they improve vision after cataract surgery. It may help people who need both distance and near vision without glasses.
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 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.
