New lens option may reduce need for glasses after cataract surgery in glaucoma patients
NCT ID NCT07436871
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether a special type of lens implant (extended depth-of-focus, or EDOF) can give better vision and more satisfaction than standard monofocal lenses for people with both glaucoma and cataracts. About 74 adults with early-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma will receive the same type of lens in both eyes during cataract surgery. The main goal is to see if the EDOF lens improves intermediate vision (like computer distance) without causing more visual disturbances.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that EDOF lenses are a safe option for glaucoma patients, offering better intermediate vision and less need for glasses after cataract surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (74 people) that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to all glaucoma patients, and EDOF lenses might cause more glare or halos than monofocal lenses.
