All recruiting trials (6)
-
Toric add-on lens to reduce astigmatism after corneal transplant and cataract surgery
This will try a toric add-on lens placed in the eye’s sulcus to reduce persistent high astigmatism in people who have had keratoplasty and cataract surgery.
-
Heads-up display guidance for aligning toric intraocular lenses
This will test whether a digital heads-up guidance system helps surgeons place toric intraocular lenses more accurately during cataract surgery.
-
Helioscope optical biometer combining LED corneal topography and SS-OCT
This study will test whether the Helioscope can take accurate corneal shape and eye-length measurements in adults with cataracts to help choose the right intraocular lens power.
-
Using asymmetrical toric intraocular lenses to improve vision for people with irregular corneas
This will test a custom asymmetrical toric intraocular lens during cataract surgery to reduce irregular astigmatism and improve vision in adults with irregular corneas.
-
Clareon PanOptix versus AcrySof PanOptix for contrast vision after cataract surgery
This study will try Clareon PanOptix in one eye and AcrySof PanOptix in the other to see which lens gives better contrast vision three months after cataract surgery for adults seeking presbyopia correction.
-
Comparing five extended-depth-of-focus intraocular lenses and one standard monofocal lens for cataract surgery
This test compares five extended-depth-of-focus intraocular lenses and one standard monofocal lens in adults having cataract surgery in both eyes to see which provides the best distance, intermediate, and near vision and reduces the need for glasses.
