Congenital primary aphakia
MONDO:0012456Congenital primary aphakia (CPA) is characterized by an absence of the lens. The prevalence is unknown. CPA can be associated with variable secondary ocular defects (including aplasia/dysplasia of the anterior segment of the eye, microphthalmia, and in some cases absence of the iris, retinal dysplasia, or sclerocornea). CPA results from early developmental arrest, around the 4th-5th week of embryogenesis, which prevents the formation of any lens structure. Mutations in the FOXE3 gene were identified in three affected siblings born to consanguineous parents.
Also known as: anterior segment dysgenesis 2, multiple subtypes, aphakia, congenital primary, congenital absence of lens, congenital aphakia, ASGD2, CPA, anterior segment dysgenesis 2

New lens aims to correct both cataracts and astigmatism in one go
Disease control CompletedThis study is checking the long-term safety and performance of a special lens called the Clareon Toric IOL, which is implanted during cataract surgery to also correct astigmatism. About 129 people with cataracts and astigmatism are taking part. The main goal is to see how well th…

Eye surgery showdown: does tunnel direction affect lens fixation success?
Disease control CompletedThis study compares two ways of creating scleral tunnels during flanged intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation surgery, a procedure used when the eye's natural lens support is missing or damaged. Researchers are testing whether making the tunnel horizontally (parallel to th…

New lens implant aims to sharpen vision at all distances
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested a newer trifocal lens implant (Clareon PanOptix Pro) against an older one (Clareon PanOptix) in 71 adults having cataract surgery in both eyes. Each person got one of each lens, so their eyes could be compared directly. The goal was to see if the newer lens prov…

New lens vs. old lens: which gives sharper sight after cataract surgery?
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested two different trifocal lens implants used during cataract surgery to see which one gives better vision. 87 people who needed cataract surgery in both eyes received one type of lens in each eye. The main goal was to measure how clearly they could see letters on a…
