Eye scans may forecast lens misalignment after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT06305338
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether measurements from eye imaging devices can predict the tilt (misalignment) of an artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery. Researchers will use OCT and Scheimpflug cameras to measure the eye before and after surgery in about 110 adults. The goal is to develop a model that forecasts post-operative tilt, which could help surgeons choose the best lens and improve visual outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Scheimpflug imaging (IOLMaster 700, Casia 2, Pentacam HR)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better prediction and prevention of lens tilt after cataract surgery, potentially improving visual quality for patients.
- What could go wrong
- The study is observational and relatively small, so results may not apply to all patients. The predictive models may not be accurate enough for clinical use.

Inclusion Criteria: * Planned cataract surgery in one or both eyes * Above 21 years of age Exclusion Criteria: * Combined surgery (cataract plus glaucoma/vitreoretinal/corneal surgery) * Best corrected distance visual acuity below 0.05 Snellen * Pathologies that could have an influence on the post-operative tilt, such as pseudoexfoliation syndrome or previous ophthalmic trauma, or other reasons for phakodonesis. * Previous ophthalmic surgery that could have an influence on post-operative tilt, such as pars plana vitrectomy * In case of pregnancy (pregnancy test will be taken preoperatively in women of reproductive age)
