Summary

This trial tests whether a laser procedure called Relex-Smile can correct leftover nearsightedness or farsightedness in people who had cataract surgery six months earlier. About 130 participants with blurry vision after receiving a trifocal lens implant will undergo the laser treatment. The goal is to see if the procedure safely improves visual sharpness and reduces the need for glasses.
