New lens aims to restore vision at all distances after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07696130
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of lens, called the enVista Envy, implanted during cataract surgery. The lens is designed to help people see clearly at far, intermediate, and near distances, while reducing common side effects like glare and halos. Twenty adults with cataracts or presbyopia will receive the lens in both eyes and be followed for six months to measure vision quality, complications, and how quickly the brain adapts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enVista Envy trifocal intraocular lens
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this lens could help people see clearly at far, intermediate, and near distances after cataract surgery, reducing the need for glasses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Some people may still experience glare or halos.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Bilateral cataract or refractive lens exchange candidates. * Presbyopia and/or hyperopia. * Preoperative corneal astigmatism less than 1.00 diopter (D). * Absence of ocular diseases other than cataract. * High motivation to achieve spectacle independence. * Patients willing to accept the possibility of mild photic phenomena, such as glare and halos. Exclusion Criteria: * Ocular Conditions: * Glaucoma. * Amblyopia. * Macular diseases (including macular degeneration and other macular pathology). * Angle kappa greater than 0.5 mm. * Dry eye disease. * Corneal disorders. * Pupil abnormalities. * Irregular astigmatism. * Ocular motility disorders or strabismus. * Pupil diameter \< 2.5 mm under photopic conditions or \> 6.0 mm under mesopic conditions. * Abnormalities of the capsular bag or zonular apparatus, including pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). * Lifestyle Factors: * Patients with unrealistic expectations regarding postoperative visual outcomes. * Individuals whose professions require highly precise visual performance, such as pilots, professional drivers, architects, or similar occupations. * Patients satisfied with using spectacles for near vision. * Age greater than 75 years (due to potential difficulties with neuroadaptation to new visual conditions). * Psychological and Personality Factors: * Patients with psychiatric disorders that may interfere with study participation or outcome assessment. * Patients dissatisfied with progressive addition lenses (progressive spectacles). * Patients with dyslexia or a history of stroke. * Type A personality traits (perfectionists). * Patients will also be excluded if the calculated IOL power falls outside the available range of +6.00 D to +34.00 D or if they have a history of laser vision correction surgery.
