Which lens implant method stays put better? a Head-to-Head test
NCT ID NCT07768722
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether the way a toric intraocular lens is implanted during cataract surgery affects how well it stays in place. Toric lenses correct astigmatism, but if they rotate after surgery, vision can blur. The trial compares two techniques: one using a gel-like substance (OVD) and one using a saltwater solution (BSS). Adults with cataracts and regular astigmatism will have both eyes operated on, each receiving a different technique, and the lens rotation and vision outcomes will be measured over one month.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TECNIS Eyhance Toric II intraocular lens implanted with either OVD-assisted or BSS-assisted technique
- What this could lead to
- If one technique proves more stable, it could reduce lens rotation after cataract surgery, leading to better vision outcomes and fewer follow-up procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (80 patients) and results may not apply to all patients or lens types. There is also a risk of complications like infection or lens misalignment, though these are rare.

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults with senile cataract requiring bilateral cataract surgery. * Regular corneal astigmatism of ≥1.00 diopter. * Axial length between 22.0 mm and 25.0 mm. * Eligible for implantation with the TECNIS Eyhance™ Toric II intraocular lens. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Inconsistent corneal astigmatism measurements (difference \>0.20 D in magnitude or \>5° in axis among the four diagnostic devices). * Visually significant dry eye disease with positive corneal fluorescein staining. Irregular corneal astigmatism or corneal opacity. * Ocular comorbidities that could affect toric IOL stability or visual outcomes (e.g., pseudoexfoliation syndrome, advanced glaucoma, or macular pathology). * Intraoperative complications or generalized zonular weakness requiring implantation of a capsular tension ring. * Significant postoperative day 1 corneal edema precluding reliable rotational measurements. * Inability to comply with the follow-up schedule.
