New Eye-Surgery guidance system aims for sharper vision after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07325188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new digital guidance system that helps surgeons place toric lenses more accurately during cataract surgery. Researchers will compare the system's alignment calculations to standard methods and check vision and astigmatism one month after surgery. The study involves 100 eyes from patients having routine cataract surgery with toric lenses.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cassini Guidance with HUD (digital guidance system)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this system could help surgeons place toric lenses more accurately, potentially reducing blurry vision after cataract surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only one surgeon, so results may not apply to all patients or settings. The system may not improve outcomes enough to justify its use.

Inclusion criteria: * Patients undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery with toric IOL implantation, * Eyes implanted with a toric IOL. Exclusion criteria: * Ocular comorbidity likely to impair postoperative visual acuities, or * History of ocular trauma or zonular instability, or * Previous refractive surgery, or * Irregular corneal astigmatism or keratoconus, or * Patients with physical or intellectual disabilities that may prevent reliable fixation or comprehension (e.g. Down's Syndrome, Parkinson's Disease), or * Patients with unreliable biometry measurements, or * Severe dry eye disease or ocular surface disease.
