NCT ID NCT05574959

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new type of artificial lens (TECNIS DEN00V) for people having cataract surgery. It compared the new lens to a standard lens in 243 adults with cataracts. The goal was to see if the new lens improves vision at arm's length (66 cm) while keeping good distance vision. The trial was stopped early, so final conclusions are limited.

Active substance

intraocular lens (IOL) device

What this could lead to

If successful, this lens could provide better intermediate vision after cataract surgery while maintaining good distance vision.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. It was a device study, not a drug, so benefits are incremental rather than transformative.
