New device aims to sharpen cataract surgery results for prior laser patients
NCT ID NCT05254587
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device called IOLMASTER 700 TK to see if it can more accurately measure the eye's curvature in people who had laser vision correction and now need cataract surgery. Researchers compared four different lens calculation methods in 155 adults. The goal was to improve how surgeons choose the right lens implant for better vision after cataract surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IOLMASTER 700 TK device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help eye surgeons choose more accurate lens power for cataract patients who previously had laser vision correction, improving their vision after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or lens types, and the benefit is limited to measurement accuracy, not a cure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults, 18 years of age or older at the time of cataract surgery. 2. Patient has had LVC and IOL cataract surgery within 3 years or is scheduled to undergo IOL cataract surgery performed for the treatment of visually significant cataracts. Note: The only IOLs permitted for use in this study are Monofocal (ZCBOO, LI61AO, SN60WF, SA60WF, MX60E) and Toric Lenses (Tecnis 2 ZCU, ZCT, SN6ATx, SA6ATx, MX60ET). 3. Best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) potential of 20/30 or better (as measured by Retinal Acuity Meter (RAM) or Potential Acuity Meter (PAM). 4. Patients who have a manifest refraction that is myopic or hyperopic after previous LVC. 5. Patients that have biometric measurements (including Axial Length) for the IOL cataract surgery that were performed preoperatively with the IOLMaster700, including Barrett True K /TK. 6. Signed and received a copy of the signed written informed consent (pertain to the prospective subjects only). 7. For prospective patients, willingness and ability to comply with schedule for follow-up visits and postoperative evaluations. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with a history of any of the following: 1. Corneal pathology - Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy (EMBD), Irregular Astigmatism, Decentered LASIK/PRK, Radial Keratotomy (RK), Fuchs Dystrophy 2. Retinal pathology - Visually significant Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) with loss of foveal contour, Large/ Medium Drusen, Cystoid Macular Edema (CME), History of Retinal Detachment 3. Optic neuropathy 4. Advanced glaucoma 5. Amblyopia 6. Strabismus 7. Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) indicating an optic neuropathy. 2. Patients with a previous history of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery and/or glaucoma filtering procedure (defined as tubes or trabeculectomy) other than photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or LASIK. 3. Patient who had to undergo A-scan measurement to retrieve Axial Length (AL) values. 4. Patient has had LVC and IOL cataract surgery within 3 years or is scheduled to undergo IOL cataract surgery performed for the treatment of visually significant cataracts with the presence or intention of implanting a multifocal, extended depth of focus, accommodating and light adjustable lens (such as, but not limited to, TFAT / TFNT; DAT / DFT; ICB00/DIB/DIU/DAT; ZXT; DFW; SN6AD1; AT-50; RxSIGHT). 5. Patients in whom the study eye experiences any intraoperative surgical complications or complex cataract surgeries (vitrectomy, corneal suturing). 6. Patients with previous LVC where one eye was treated for myopia and the other eye was treated for hyperopia. 7. Patient is participating in another study.
