New lens technique aims to reduce glasses dependency after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07168109
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens, set for monovision (one eye for distance, one for near), improves vision without glasses in people with both cataracts and high myopia. Sixty-six participants will receive the lens in both eyes and be followed for one year. The goal is to see if this strategy provides better overall vision than the standard approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enhanced monofocal intraocular lens
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer better distance and near vision without glasses for people with high myopia and cataracts.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants. The monovision strategy may cause reduced depth perception or visual disturbances in some people.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 85 years (inclusive), no gender restrictions; 2. Scheduled to undergo bilateral phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation; 3. Axial length ≥ 26.0 mm in both eyes; 4. Desire for postoperative spectacle independence; 5. Able to understand and cooperate with the trial procedures, voluntarily participate in this clinical trial, and sign an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Poor-quality preoperative ocular biometry (Axial length, keratometry, anterior chamber depth); 2. Preoperative corneal astigmatism ≥ 1.5 diopters (D); 3. Patients with intraoperative or postoperative complications (ie, intraoperative posterior capsular rupture, zonular dehiscence, secondary glaucoma, etc.); 4. The presence of other ocular diseases (ie, strabismus, severe retinal pathology, uveitis, other relevant ophthalmic diseases that might affect outcomes or trauma, etc.); 5. A history of intraocular surgery; 6. Severe chronic systemic diseases, psychiatric disorders, dementia, hearing impairments, or mobility limitations that would interfere with understanding of the monovision design, attendance at follow-up visits, or completion of questionnaires.
