NCT ID NCT07176416
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new device called the Veritas Vision System for cataract surgery. The goal is to see if it uses less energy and causes less damage to the cells on the inside of the eye. Researchers will follow 50 adults for 3 months after surgery to check eye health and vision.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Veritas Vision System (a device for cataract surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could make cataract surgery safer by using less energy and causing less damage to the eye's inner lining.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 50 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not show a clear benefit over existing methods.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients undergoing age-related cataract surgery. * Planned use of the Catalys Precision Laser System. * Planned implantation of TECNIS intraocular lenses (IOLs). Exclusion Criteria: • Moderate-severe any disease state (deemed by the surgeon) that could increase risk of complicated cataract surgery (ie, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, zonular dehiscence, history of eye trauma, and prior refractive surgery).
