New lens design aims for better stability after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07167589
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new type of artificial lens (HOYA AF-1 NY-60) used during cataract surgery. The lens is designed to stay in place better and reduce clouding behind the lens. Researchers looked at how well the lens performed in 42 people with normal, short, or long eyes. The study is complete and focused on lens positioning and stability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this lens design could reduce complications like posterior capsule opacification and improve stability after cataract surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. No direct comparison to other lenses was made.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age-related cataract * Age 21 and older * Visual Acuity \> 0.05 * Normal findings in the medical history and physical examination unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant Exclusion Criteria: * Relevant other ophthalmic diseases especially those that may compromise capsule bag integrity or zonule stability (such as pseudoexfoliation syndrome, Marfan's syndrome, etc.) * Preceding ocular surgery or trauma * In case of pregnancy (pregnancy test will be taken preoperatively in women of reproductive age)
