What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app (WHOeyes) plus a symptom questionnaire can safely replace the standard in-clinic checkup one week after cataract surgery. About 334 people aged 50–80 with uncomplicated cataracts will either use the app at home or come to the clinic. The goal is to see if remote follow-up is just as safe, more cost-effective, and better for the environment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
WHOeyes app and questionnaire
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow many cataract patients to skip a routine in-person visit, saving travel time and reducing healthcare costs and carbon footprint.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (334 people) and only tests one-week follow-up after uncomplicated surgery. The app may miss complications that a doctor would catch in person.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Senile cataract patients undergoing Phaco + IOL implantation under local anesthesia. 2. Between 50 and 80 years of age, regardless of gender. 3. The subject or their family members own a smartphone, understand and can correctly install and use the WHOeyes app for vision testing under the guidance of a physician. 4. Able to understand and cooperate with the trial procedures, voluntarily participate in this clinical trial, and sign an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Had other serious eye diseases in addition to cataract, including: 1. Chronic or recurrent eye diseases of the study eye, such as keratitis or corneal malnutrition, iritis, scleritis, uveitis, iridocyclitis. (Note: refractive errors, dry eye, chronic conjunctivitis, and mild pterygium are not exclusionary. 2. Active ocular infection or inflammation in either eye. 3. Episode of acute uveitis within the past 6 months in either eye. 4. Intraocular pressure \>21mmHg or a history of glaucoma in the study eye. 5. Presence of unstable active lesions or other ocular diseases of the study eye that, in the investigator's judgment, could potentially interfere with the study evaluation or compromise subject safety (e.g., moderate to severe diabetic retinopathy, wet age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment). 6. Congenital abnormalities in the study eye (e.g., congenital cataracts, aniridia). 7. Corrected visual acuity in the non-study eye \<0.1 (20/200). 2. History of ocular trauma in the study eye. 3. History of ocular surgery in the study eye, such as glaucoma surgery, vitrectomy, corneal refractive surgery, corneal transplantation. 4. Scheduled ocular surgery in either eye during the study period, such as trabeculectomy, corneal transplantation. 5. Occurrences of intraoperative and postoperative complications (e.g., elevated intraocular pressure, corneal edema) in the study eye within 1 day after cataract surgery. 6. Corrected visual acuity of the study eye less than 0.5 (20/40) on postoperative day 1. 7. With severe chronic systemic diseases or are susceptible to infection, including: 1. Poorly controlled diabetes (fasting blood glucose \>10 mmol/L). 2. Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure\>160mmHg or diastolic blood pressure\>100mmHg). 3. Ongoing systemic treatment for infectious diseases; 4. Presence of cachexia or bone marrow suppression. 5. Confirmed diagnosis of AIDS or positive test results for HIV antibodies. 6. Presence of severe cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, endocrine, immune, dermatological, musculoskeletal, neurological, or psychiatric diseases, hearing impairment, or mobility impairment, as deemed unsuitable for participation in this trial by the investigator. 8. Participation in other clinical trials within the last 30 days (excluding those who only participated in screening process without receiving any investigational drugs or devices). 9. Have pre-planned hospital visits during the study period, other than those required for postoperative follow-ups of the study eye; 10. Any other condition or circumstance that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the patient unsuitable for participation in this trial. Note: The study eye refers to the eye that underwent cataract surgery and is included in this study.
