Official title: Evaluation of Visual Outcomes, Complications, and Neuroadaptation Following Bilateral Implantation of enVista Envy Trifocal Intraocular Lenses

Run by Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin · NCT07696130 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether the enVista Envy trifocal intraocular lens can provide good distance, intermediate, and near vision after cataract surgery in adults who want less dependence on glasses.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with bilateral cataracts or prior refractive lens exchange, mild astigmatism, and motivation for spectacle independence.

Probably not a fit

Patients with certain eye diseases or ocular conditions may not benefit from the lens and could experience photic phenomena or limited improvement.

What this trial studies

This interventional study investigates the safety and effectiveness of the enVista Envy trifocal intraocular lens implanted in both eyes during cataract or refractive lens exchange procedures. It focuses on visual outcomes, potential complications, and how patients adapt to the new lens. Eligible participants have bilateral cataracts or prior refractive lens replacement, minimal corneal astigmatism, and a strong desire for spectacle independence. Exclusion criteria include several ocular diseases and conditions that could affect vision or lens performance. The study is led by Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin and is based at the II Department of Ophthalmology in Szczecin, Poland.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the lens could improve uncorrected vision at multiple distances and reduce the need for glasses after surgery.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies of diffractive trifocal IOLs have shown improvements in spectacle independence and high patient satisfaction, though results vary with individual eye anatomy.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Bilateral cataract or refractive lens exchange candidates.
* Presbyopia and/or hyperopia.
* Preoperative corneal astigmatism less than 1.00 diopter (D).
* Absence of ocular diseases other than cataract.
* High motivation to achieve spectacle independence.
* Patients willing to accept the possibility of mild photic phenomena, such as glare and halos.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Ocular Conditions:

  * Glaucoma.
  * Amblyopia.
  * Macular diseases (including macular degeneration and other macular pathology).
  * Angle kappa greater than 0.5 mm.
  * Dry eye disease.
  * Corneal disorders.

  * Patients with unrealistic expectations regarding postoperative visual outcomes.
  * Individuals whose professions require highly precise visual performance, such as pilots, professional drivers, architects, or similar occupations.
  * Patients satisfied with using spectacles for near vision.
  * Age greater than 75 years (due to potential difficulties with neuroadaptation to new visual conditions).
* Psychological and Personality Factors:

  * Patients with psychiatric disorders that may interfere with study participation or outcome assessment.
  * Patients dissatisfied with progressive addition lenses (progressive spectacles).
  * Patients with dyslexia or a history of stroke.
  * Type A personality traits (perfectionists).
* Patients will also be excluded if the calculated IOL power falls outside the available range of +6.00 D to +34.00 D or if they have a history of laser vision correction surgery.
