Cataract surgery tech showdown: laser vs. standard – study pulled before start

NCT ID NCT05119270

First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study aimed to compare two newer technologies for cataract surgery—a femtosecond laser and a special handpiece that monitors eye pressure—against standard surgery. The goal was to see which approach causes less damage to the eye's inner lining cells and uses less energy. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
