New cataract lens aims to sharpen vision at Arm's length
NCT ID NCT07589894
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a new type of lens, called Clareon TruPlus, helps people see clearly at intermediate distances (like a computer screen) after cataract surgery. About 50 adults with cataracts in both eyes will get this lens and be tested 12 weeks after surgery. The goal is to see if the lens provides good vision at arm's length without glasses, while keeping distance vision sharp.

Inclusion Criteria: * Able and willing to understand and sign informed consent. * Able and willing to complete all required study visits. * Diagnosed with age-related cataracts in both eyes (OU) * Bilateral age-related cataract scheduled for phacoemulsification in both eyes by a single surgeon. * Surgeon predicts postoperative best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) of ≥ 20/25 or better with Manifest Refractive Spherical Equivalent (MRSE) ±0.50 D of plano and in each eye post-operatively. * Clear intraocular media aside from cataract. * Will receive TruPlus bilaterally * Postoperative residual astigmatism ≤ 0.75 D in both eyes. * Refractive target: Emmetropia OU * Patient groups agreeing to either Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) or Standard phaco Exclusion Criteria: * Ocular comorbidities affecting visual outcomes, including but not limited to: * Macular disease (e.g., Age-Related Macular Degeneration \[AMD\], Diabetic Macular Edema \[DME\], Epiretinal Membrane \[ERM\]). * Active ocular inflammation. * Any investigator-determined condition likely to confound postoperative visual performance. * Strabismus with or without amblyopia in either eye. * Prior anterior or posterior segment surgery, including corneal refractive procedures. * History of retinal detachment. * Degenerative retinal or visual disorders deemed clinically significant by the investigator. * Diagnosed glaucoma (of any stage, if deemed vision-impacting by investigator). * Systemic conditions that could affect healing or study outcomes (e.g., immunocompromised, connective tissue disease, clinically significant atopy, diabetes).
