What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a special scanning device that measures how stiff the eye's lens is in people with cataracts. Researchers want to see if this stiffness measurement matches standard cataract grading and surgery energy needed. 50 adults with cataracts will be scanned before surgery. This is a pilot study to gather data, not to test a treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons better plan cataract surgery by predicting lens hardness, potentially improving outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on measurement, not treatment. The device may not prove reliable or useful in practice.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Men and women aged above 21 years 2. Normal ophthalmic findings except previous surgery or conditions that impact corneal optical quality such as trauma and corneal scars 3. Willing to sign informed consent before measurements 4. Presence of nuclear cataract according to LOCS III grading and planned cataract surgery Exclusion Criteria: Any of the following will exclude a subject from the study: * Patients with inadequate corneal imaging or corneal scarring that would impact results * Patients with active ocular infections or inflammatory conditions * Patients that suffered an eye trauma according to their medical history * Patients with fixational problems (e.g., nystagmus) or with any medical condition that could interfere with the measurements * Pregnancy (pregnancy test will be performed in women of reproductive age)
