Comparing two methods for lens implantation in cataract surgery for patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes of two intraocular lens (IOL) implantation techniques in patients with cataracts and pseudoexfoliation syndrome. It is a prospective, intraindividual comparative study where each patient undergoes bilateral cataract surgery, with one eye receiving a 3-point IOL in the capsular bag and the other receiving a 3-point IOL haptics in the ciliary sulcus. The study will evaluate differences in lens tilt, decentration, and the frequency of capsular phimosis between the two methods. Highly experienced surgeons will perform the procedures using femtolaser technology to ensure precision.
