Tailored eye incisions may cut glasses dependence after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07623317
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether placing surgical cuts in specific parts of the cornea during cataract surgery can reduce astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea) and lower the need for glasses afterward. About 100 people with cataracts and astigmatism will be randomly assigned to receive either customized or standard incisions. Researchers will measure vision and glasses dependence at 3 and 12 weeks after surgery.
