Which lens is best for cataract patients? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07658040
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two types of artificial lens implants used in cataract surgery: the Clareon TruPlus and the Tecnis Eyhance. Researchers want to see which lens gives better vision at different distances and how satisfied patients are. The study involves 70 adults with cataracts in both eyes, who will receive one type of lens in each eye and be followed for 3 months after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- intraocular lens implant
- What this could lead to
- If this trial shows one lens is better, it could help cataract patients choose an option that gives clearer vision at multiple distances.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both lenses are already approved, so no major breakthrough is expected.

Inclusion Criteria: * Willing and able to understand and sign informed consent. * Adult patient diagnosed with age-related cataracts bilaterally. * Planned bilateral cataract removal and with bilateral implantation of the Clareon TruPlus IOL/Toric BLF (T3-T5) or Tecnis Eyhance IOL/Eyhance Toric (equivalent to T3-T5). * Best monocular corrected distance visual acuity expected to be 0.1 logMAR (Snellen 20/25) or better in both eyes postoperatively as determined by surgeon. * Residual astigmatism expected to be \<= 0.50 diopters in both eyes postoperatively as determined by surgeon (After using either toric IOL or arcuate incision with laser or manual LRI). * Normal ocular findings aside from cataract. Exclusion Criteria: * Moderate-severe corneal pathology, irregular astigmatism, preexisting macular disease and other retinal degenerative diseases expected to cause future vision loss, glaucoma, severe dry eye disease, nystagmus, strabismus, zonular laxity or dehiscence, pseudoexfoliation. * Previous history of any ocular surgery including corneal refractive surgery. * History of amblyopia or monofixation syndrome with poor stereoscopic vision. * Participants desiring monovision. * Any planned simultaneous/combined procedures at time of cataract surgery (e.g. MIGs). * Participation in another clinical study that could interfere with the results. * Any active ocular infection or inflammation.
