New lens implants promise clear vision at all distances after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07161635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two types of advanced lens implants (IOLs) for people having cataract surgery in both eyes. The lenses are designed to help see clearly at far, arm's length, and near distances. Researchers will check safety and how well the lenses work in 110 participants over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Clareon PanOptix Pro and Pro Toric trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that these IOLs provide reliable vision at far, arm's length, and near after cataract surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market study with no control group, so results may not prove superiority over other lenses. Risks include typical cataract surgery complications like infection or inflammation.
