CATARACT

This study aimed to compare newer technologies for cataract surgery against the standard method. It planned to see if using a special laser or a new handpiece that monitors eye pressure during surgery would cause less damage to the cornea and require less energy. The trial was wi…

This study is observing patients for up to 7 years after they received a special eye implant during cataract surgery. The implant is designed to both improve vision and continuously release medication to control high eye pressure from glaucoma. Researchers want to see if the impl…

This study follows Romanian patients who previously received a non-invasive medical device treatment for mild-to-moderate cataracts. The goal is to check the long-term safety and see if vision improvements are maintained about 20 months after treatment ended. Participants attend …

This study is testing a new type of lens implant designed to improve vision after cataract surgery. Researchers are comparing this new 'fluid accommodating' lens against a standard lens in 175 participants. The goal is to see if the new lens provides better distance vision and ha…

This study aimed to compare the efficiency and safety of two different surgical systems used for cataract removal. It planned to enroll adults with moderate cataracts in both eyes, using one machine on each eye. The main goal was to measure the energy used during the procedures t…

This study is testing a new type of artificial lens for people having cataract surgery. The lens is designed to correct vision for distance, intermediate, and near tasks, and also correct astigmatism. Researchers are comparing this new lens to a similar one without the astigmatis…

This study is testing a new type of artificial lens (the enVista Beyond) for people having cataract surgery. It aims to see if this lens provides better vision at arm's length and for reading compared to a standard lens. About 304 participants will have the new lens or the standa…

This 5-year study offers free vision screenings to New York City residents over 40 living in affordable housing. The goal is to detect eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy earlier in underserved communities. Researchers will track participants' vision o…

This study is comparing two ways to implant artificial lenses after cataract surgery. One group gets the same type of lens in both eyes. The other group gets two different types of lenses, one in each eye, to see if this combination provides better overall vision and causes fewer…

This study aims to find out which type of anesthesia causes less pain and more satisfaction after cataract surgery. It will compare local numbing eye drops with general anesthesia (being put to sleep) in 50 adult patients. Researchers will track pain levels, need for painkillers,…

This study is testing if listening to music before cataract surgery can help patients feel less anxious and experience less pain. It involves 60 patients who are randomly assigned to either listen to music or not before their procedure. Researchers will measure anxiety, pain, and…

This study aims to understand how well different artificial lenses work after cataract surgery. Researchers will measure vision quality and patient satisfaction in 500 people who receive these lenses. The goal is to gather information that could help improve future lens designs f…

This study aims to understand if the common diabetes medication metformin reaches the eye's lens and can slow the growth of cells that cause cloudy vision after cataract surgery. Researchers will collect lens tissue and blood samples from 40 patients with type 2 diabetes and cata…

This study is testing a new scanning device to measure the stiffness of lenses with cataracts. Researchers want to see if these stiffness measurements can help predict how much energy will be needed to safely remove the cataract during surgery. The goal is to gather information t…

This study continues tracking the eye health of people who participated in two previous major eye research projects. Researchers follow participants annually for five years to better understand how age-related macular degeneration and cataracts naturally progress over time. The s…

This study aimed to collect information on how doctors perform cataract surgery on children to understand which techniques work best. It planned to track children aged 0-17 years who had the surgery at a specific hospital in Paris. The goal was to compare different surgical appro…
