New lens study aims to reduce need for glasses after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT06122103
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 138 adults who had cataract surgery in both eyes. It compared two types of artificial lens implants used with a mini-monovision technique, where one eye is set for distance and the other for near vision. The goal was to see which lens gave better vision at different distances and reduced the need for glasses. Results help doctors choose the best lens for patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Subjects are eligible for the study if they meet the following criteria: Note: Ocular criteria must be met in both eyes. * Adult patients undergoing age-related cataract surgery with expected best- corrected visual outcomes of 20/25 or better * Regular corneal astigmatism of 0.75D-2.50D * Dilated pupil diameter of 7mm or greater Exclusion Criteria: If any of the following exclusion criteria are applicable to the subject or either eye, the subject should not be enrolled in the study. * Moderate-severe corneal pathology, irregular astigmatism, preexisting macular disease and other retinal degenerative diseases that is expected to cause future vision loss, glaucoma, severe dry eye disease, history of uveitis, ocular herpes simplex virus, nystagmus, strabismus, zonular laxity or dehiscence, pseudoexfoliation. * History of corneal refractive and intraocular surgery. * Patients taking systemic medication that may increase sensitivity to UV light or that may cause toxicity to the retina. The principal investigator reserves the right to declare a patient ineligible or non- evaluable based on medical evidence that indicates they are unsuitable for the trial. Pregnancy has a known effect on the stability of refractions and visual acuity. As such, subjects who become pregnant during the study will not be discontinued but their data may be excluded from analyses of effectiveness.
