New cataract device tested, but study halted early
NCT ID NCT05729477
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared a new device called miCOR, which uses low energy to break up cataracts, to standard cataract surgery. About 402 adults with cataracts were planned to take part. The study was terminated early, so we don't have full results on whether the new device is better or safer.

Active substance
miCOR System device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safer, less energy-intensive way to remove cataracts during surgery.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated, so we have limited data. The device may not be better than standard methods, and any new device carries surgical risks.
