New laser tool for cataract surgery under review
NCT ID NCT07362043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a hand-held laser used during cataract surgery to see if it keeps the risk of capsule tears below 2%. Researchers will review medical records of 446 adults who had cataract surgery with this laser as part of their regular care. The goal is to confirm how safe and effective the laser is in real-world use.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (age \> 18 years); * Diagnosed with cataract requiring surgery according to current guidelines; * Eligible to lens removal by phacoemulsification and replacement by a prosthetic lens under local anesthesia; * Who confirmed their non-opposition to data collection Exclusion Criteria: * Patient already operated with Rx for the first eye. * Any contra-indication to cataract surgery; * Patients with an ACD (Anterior Chamber Depth) less than 1.8mm and greater than 4.2mm; * Corneal disease or pathology that prevents corneal applanation or that may interfere with or hinder laser beam transmission; * Presence of blood or any other element that hinders the propagation of light between the epithelium and the anterior surface of the lens where the capsulotomy will be performed; * Weak pupil dilation or severely off-center pupil that prevents the iris from retracting adequately to the periphery (dilations \< 6.5mm in diameter are excluded); * Abnormal tilt of the lens (\> 7 degrees) ; * Significant preoperative ocular hypotonia or hypertonia; * Presence of an intra-corneal implant; * Active or unstabilized ocular surface disease including abnormal corneas (e.g., epithelial dystrophies,recurrent ulcers, infectious foci, conjunctivitis, severe dry syndromes); * History of lens disease or zonular instability; * Any perforating incision of the eyeball that may result in leakage during corneal applanation; * Presence of a limbal tumor obstacle that may interfere with stabilization of the device on the limbus: pterygium, limbal tumor, filter bubble, etc. * Patients under guardianship, trusteeship or deprived of liberty; * Patients unable to give their non-opposition for data collection for psychiatric, cognitive or linguistic reasons.
