NCT ID NCT06550375
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how well people see and how satisfied they are after getting the TECNIS Odyssey lens in both eyes during cataract surgery. Forty patients aged 50 and older were checked at least three months after surgery. Researchers measured vision at different distances and used questionnaires to track symptoms and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If results are positive, this could support the use of Odyssey IOLs for better near and distance vision after cataract surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 40 participants and no comparison group. Results may not apply to everyone.
