New Add-On lens aims to sharpen vision after complex eye surgeries
NCT ID NCT07452042
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a toric add-on lens placed in the eye to correct high astigmatism in people who have already had a corneal transplant and cataract surgery. The goal is to reduce blurry vision from astigmatism without removing the original lens. About 40 participants will be followed for up to 7 months to see if the lens stays stable and improves eyesight.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- toric add-on intraocular lens (implantable lens)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a safe and effective way to correct high astigmatism in people who have had corneal transplant and cataract surgery, potentially improving their vision without additional major surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The lens might rotate or not reduce astigmatism enough, and there are standard surgical risks like infection or inflammation.

Who is studied
Patients scheduled for add-on toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation due to high postoperative refractive cylinder after keratoplasty and cataract surgery at the University Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry are screened during the preoperative examination. Interested patients are informed about the study's objectives and procedures and, upon consent, are enrolled.
