NCT ID NCT03382288
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new device called EYESTAR 900 that uses light to measure the eye's dimensions. Researchers compared its accuracy to the current standard device in 116 volunteers and patients. The goal was to see if the new device could provide more reliable measurements for planning cataract surgery.
