New cataract lens may sharpen computer vision without glasses
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study compares standard monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with enhanced monofocal IOLs in 461 people having cataract surgery. The goal is to see if the enhanced lenses improve vision at intermediate distances, like reading a computer screen, while maintaining good distance…

Which lens gives sharper sight after cataracts? new trial aims to find out
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study compares two types of advanced lens implants (Clareon Vivity and PureSee) used in cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which lens provides better vision at far, intermediate, and near distances. The trial involves 80 adults aged 50 and older who need cataract surg…

Can Mix-and-Match lenses improve vision after cataract surgery?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study follows adults with age-related cataracts who receive different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) during surgery—either the same bifocal lens in both eyes or a mix of bifocal, EDOF, and monofocal lenses. Researchers will track how well patients adapt to their new visi…

Small RNA molecule may hold key to understanding cataracts
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study investigates whether a small RNA molecule called tRF-31 is linked to the severity of age-related cataracts. Researchers will collect lens tissue from 200 adults undergoing routine cataract surgery and measure tRF-31 levels. The goal is to see if higher or lower levels …

Dry eye treatment may sharpen cataract surgery precision
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether dry eye disease affects the accuracy of corneal measurements needed for cataract surgery planning. 400 cataract patients will be divided into those with and without dry eye. Those with dry eye will use sodium hyaluronate eye drops for two weeks. Resear…

Cataract surgery clarity: tool placement may shape recovery
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at 300 people having cataract surgery to see if where the surgeon places the phacoemulsification tip (the tool that breaks up the cataract) affects early healing. Researchers will use a special camera during surgery to track the tip's location and then measure co…
