New lens implant tackles cataracts and astigmatism in one surgery

NCT ID NCT05985304

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a special toric lens implant (RayOne EMV Toric) in 274 adults with cataracts and mild corneal astigmatism. Participants had cataract surgery and received either the toric lens or a standard monofocal lens. The goal was to see if the toric lens safely reduces blur from astigmatism better than a standard lens. Results showed the toric lens effectively lowered residual astigmatism with good safety over 6 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

RayOne EMV Toric intraocular lens (a special lens implant for the eye)

What this could lead to

If successful, this lens could give people with cataracts and mild astigmatism clearer distance vision without needing glasses after surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a completed trial, but the lens only corrects low astigmatism and may not work for everyone. Some patients may still need glasses or have lens rotation.
