CATARACT

This study tested a single injection of dexamethasone (Dexycu) placed inside the eye during cataract surgery. The goal was to see if this one-time treatment could effectively reduce and control the inflammation that commonly occurs after the procedure. Researchers compared 113 pe…

This study compared a newer 'enhanced depth of focus' (EDOF) lens to a standard monofocal lens in people getting cataract surgery. It involved 250 adults in Europe and Asia who had cataracts but no other major eye problems. The main goal was to see if the newer lens provided simi…

This small, early-stage study tested a new device that aims to treat cataracts without surgery. Eleven participants with moderate cataracts received light-based treatments twice a week for eight weeks. The main goals were to check if the device was safe and if it could reduce the…

This study tested the safety and performance of a gel used during eye surgeries like cataract removal. The gel helps protect the eye during the operation. Researchers compared it to an already approved gel to see if it worked just as well at keeping eye pressure normal and reduci…

This study tested a specialized toric lens designed to correct vision for people getting cataract surgery who also have a mild, regular astigmatism in their cornea. It compared this new lens against a standard lens to see if it was safe and better at reducing leftover blurry visi…

This study tested a single device that combines a new lens for cataract surgery with a slow-release implant for glaucoma. It involved 24 people who needed cataract surgery and also had mild-to-moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure. The main goal was to see if the device could sa…

This study compared two types of eye injections given one week before cataract surgery to people with diabetic macular edema (swelling in the back of the eye). The goal was to see which injection—a steroid (Ozurdex) or an anti-VEGF drug (like Avastin or Eylea)—was better at preve…

This study followed 105 patients for at least one year after cataract surgery. It looked at how well a special lens, designed to correct both the cataract and astigmatism, worked over the long term. Researchers checked patients' vision and whether the lens stayed in the correct p…

This study tested a special type of lens (the Vivity EDOF IOL) during cataract surgery for people who also have a mild, stable form of keratoconus, a condition that warps the cornea. The goal was to see if this lens could safely provide good vision at near, intermediate, and far …

This study tested a new type of artificial lens (the AVL200) for people needing cataract surgery who also have trouble seeing up close (presbyopia). Nine participants had the lens implanted during their standard cataract operation and were followed for one year to see how well it…

This study compared how accurately four different calculation methods could predict the correct lens power for cataract surgery. It involved 155 adults who had previously undergone laser vision correction (for nearsightedness or farsightedness) and were now having cataract surger…

This study compared two methods for marking the eye during cataract surgery to improve placement of lenses that correct astigmatism. Researchers tested a digital marking system against the traditional manual marking method in 41 patients aged 50-90. The goal was to see which appr…

This study compared two devices used to measure the eye before cataract surgery. It focused on patients with dense cataracts, where getting a clear measurement can be difficult. Researchers wanted to see if a newer device (ARGOS) could get the needed measurement more often than a…

This study tested how accurately a new eye measurement system (Alcon Vision Suite with Argos) could predict vision outcomes after cataract surgery. Researchers followed 106 patients who received advanced lens implants designed to reduce dependence on glasses. They measured how cl…

This study compared two different eye measurement devices to see which one gives more accurate readings for people getting lens implant surgery for cataracts or age-related blurry vision (presbyopia). Doctors measured the eyes of 133 patients using both devices before their surge…

This study compared two types of artificial lenses implanted during cataract surgery to see which provides better vision at different distances. Researchers followed 138 adults who had cataract surgery in both eyes, measuring their vision with and without glasses at various dista…

This study compared two approaches for cataract surgery using special lenses that help with both distance and near vision. Researchers tested whether using digital assistance technology during surgery leads to better visual outcomes than traditional methods. The study involved 40…

This study tested whether giving older patients extra education after cataract surgery helps them recover better. Researchers compared 80 patients who got standard care with those who also received structured lessons on using eye drops and self-care. They found the education grou…

This study tested whether a specific, fast-paced presentation method (called Pecha Kucha) given to patients before cataract surgery could improve their recovery experience. Researchers compared 61 patients who received this special education to those who got standard care. They m…

This study tested a new type of lens implanted during cataract surgery. It aimed to see if the lens could provide clear vision for distance, computer use, and reading, while reducing the need for glasses. Thirty patients had the lens implanted in both eyes and were followed for t…

This study compared two different eye drop treatments for managing dry eye in people getting cataract surgery. Fifty-five patients with existing dry eye used either one medication alone or a combination of two medications starting one month before surgery and continuing for three…

This study investigated whether the color of the artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery affects a patient's sleep. Researchers compared yellow-tinted lenses, which filter more blue light, to standard white lenses in 400 patients aged 60-90. They measured changes in sle…

This study tested whether letting patients choose a calming scent (aromatherapy) could reduce anxiety before they went in for eye surgery like cataract removal. It involved 64 patients who were randomly given either their chosen scent or a placebo scent for at least 30 minutes be…

This study tested if warming a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) before giving it for cataract surgery makes the numbing effect start faster and last longer. Researchers compared the standard room-temperature medicine to medicine warmed to body temperature in 120 patients. The goal …

This study compared two approaches to cataract surgery lenses to see which gives better vision with fewer side effects like halos and glare. It involved 36 adults who had cataract surgery in both eyes. One group received a different lens in each eye, while the other group got the…

This study compared how well people see at different distances after cataract surgery with two different FDA-approved lens implants. Researchers tested 80 adults to see if the Johnson & Johnson Eyhance lens and Bausch & Lomb enVista lens provided similar vision quality. The trial…

This study aimed to see if following a vegetarian diet is linked to developing fewer chronic diseases over time. Researchers followed over 18,000 Taiwanese Buddhists, comparing health outcomes between vegetarians and non-vegetarians. They tracked participants' health records for …

This study aimed to understand why nearsighted people have a higher risk of a serious eye problem called retinal detachment after cataract or lens replacement surgery. Researchers followed over 600 patients for up to five years to see if a common eye condition called posterior vi…

This study aimed to understand why some patients lose important cells in the front of their eye after receiving a special lens implant for severe nearsightedness. Researchers compared fluid samples from 126 patients who had either routine cataract surgery or surgery to remove a p…
