NCT ID NCT06401551

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a newer trifocal lens implant (Clareon PanOptix Pro) against an older one (Clareon PanOptix) in 71 adults having cataract surgery in both eyes. Each person got one of each lens, so their eyes could be compared directly. The goal was to see if the newer lens provides better distance, intermediate, and near vision without glasses.
