Which lens gives sharper sight after cataracts? new trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07165197
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of advanced lens implants (Clareon Vivity and PureSee) used in cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which lens provides better vision at far, intermediate, and near distances. The trial involves 80 adults aged 50 and older who need cataract surgery in both eyes. Participants will receive one lens type in each eye, and their vision will be tested over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- extended depth of focus intraocular lenses (Clareon Vivity and PureSee)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors choose the best lens for cataract patients, potentially improving vision at multiple distances without glasses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Individual outcomes can vary, and not all patients may achieve perfect vision.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients of any sex and race aged 50 years or older * Patients undergoing bilateral age-related cataract surgery with a lens opacity grade 3 or higher in the LOCS III grading scale * Willing to receive implantation of an EDOF IOL * Willing to sign the informed consent and attend the study visits Exclusion Criteria: * Requirement of a spherical or toric power of the IOL to achieve emmetropia beyond the available range of either of the two lenses * The number of patients included with low astigmatism that require an equivalent to a T2 toric IOL will be capped to 10 patients/group * Irregular astigmatism * Contact lens wear in the previous 3 weeks before biometry * Moderate or severe ocular surface, corneal, macular or optic nerve disease that in opinion of the investigator precludes the desired functional results * History of previous refractive, cornea, retina or glaucoma surgery * Eyes with a clear lens demanding a refractive lens exchange * Amblyopia in any eye * Significant previous ocular trauma * Pregnancy * A systemic condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes the reliable assessments required in the study (i.e., dementia) or participation in the study (i.e., severe mobility problems).
