New lens aims to sharpen vision at all distances after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT06446817
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new multifocal lens (LuxHighAdd) for cataract surgery, comparing it to a standard monofocal lens. About 57 people aged 50+ with cataracts in both eyes will receive the lens in both eyes. The goal is to see if the new lens improves near vision without harming distance vision.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multifocal intraocular lens (LuxHighAdd IOL)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this lens could help people see clearly at multiple distances after cataract surgery, reducing the need for glasses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 57 people. The lens may not provide better vision than standard lenses, and risks like glare or halos are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subject aged 50 or over on the day of inclusion, presenting a bilateral cataract, qualified for bilateral implantation * No ocular comorbidity possibly affecting the study results * Fit within the available IOL diopter range * Have had no previous refractive surgery * Regular corneal astigmatism ≤1.0 dioptres * Clear intraocular media other than cataract * Availability, willingness and sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures * Ability to attend all study follow-ups * Signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Ocular surface disease potentially affecting study results * Pre-existing ocular pathology or history of pathology potentially affecting the study results * Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase risk or confound study results * Subjects who may be reasonably expected to require a secondary surgical intervention at any time during the investigation (other than YAG capsulotomy) * Axial lengths and keratometry such as the IOL spherical power is not in the range of 16 to 26 D * Instability of keratometry or biometry measurements * Traumatic cataract * Amblyopia * History of ocular trauma or any prior ocular surgery including refractive procedures * Capsular or zonular abnormalities that may affect postoperative centration or tilt of the lens * Pupil abnormalities * Systemic or ocular medication that could modify pupil dynamics * Expected complicated surgery or complicated surgery * Concurrent participation in another drug or device investigation
