New lens aims to sharpen vision after cataracts in prior laser patients
NCT ID NCT07610226
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests the Clareon TruPlus lens in 35 adults over 45 who need cataract surgery and previously had laser eye surgery for nearsightedness. The lens is designed to improve vision at various distances and reduce the need for glasses. Participants will be followed for 3 months after surgery to measure visual sharpness and satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Clareon TruPlus intraocular lens (IOL)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this lens could provide clearer vision and less need for glasses after cataract surgery in people who previously had laser eye surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 35 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include typical cataract surgery complications like infection or inflammation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Willing and able to understand and sign informed consent. * Adult patients (\>45 years old) undergoing age-related cataract surgery that previously had myopic corneal refractive surgery. * Dominant eye targeted for emmetropia, non-dominant eye may be targeted for ≤-0.75D (mini-monovision). * Best monocular corrected distance visual acuity expected to be 0.1 logMAR (Snellen 20/25) or better in both eyes pre-operatively as determined by surgeon. * Normal ocular findings aside from cataract. Exclusion Criteria: * Moderate-severe corneal pathology, irregular astigmatism, preexisting macular disease and other retinal degenerative diseases, diabetic retinopathy that is expected to cause future vision loss, glaucoma, severe dry eye disease, nystagmus, strabismus, zonular laxity or dehiscence, pseudoexfoliation. * Previous history of any ocular surgery, except for myopic LASIK or PRK. * Previous hyperopic refractive surgery. * Corneal HOA ≥1.0 µm (RMS) with OPD at 4mm scan. * Any active ocular infection or inflammation.
