What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses ultrasound biomicroscopy to measure how much an artificial lens (intraocular lens) tilts or shifts after cataract surgery. Researchers will scan the eyes of 100 adults who had cataract surgery to assess lens position. The goal is to better understand lens alignment, which could help improve surgical outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (a device that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the eye)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help eye surgeons better understand and potentially reduce lens misalignment after cataract surgery, improving visual outcomes for patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. The results may not apply to all patients or surgical techniques, and the measurements are only a snapshot in time.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
