Comparing visual outcomes after lens implantation with and without digital assistance
Comparison of Visual Outcomes After Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens Implantation with and Without Digital Assistance
This study is testing if using digital tools during cataract surgery helps people see better after getting a special type of lens compared to those who don’t use the tools.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to compare the postoperative visual acuity of patients who received an extended depth of focus intraocular lens either with or without the aid of digital assistance. It involves 60 patients diagnosed with grade 2 cataracts, who will undergo surgery and have their visual acuity assessed at various distances using a validated digital test. The study will evaluate both the visual acuity curves and patient satisfaction through interviews. All assessments will follow standard clinical practices.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals over 45 years old diagnosed with grade 2 cataracts.
Not a fit: Patients with conditions affecting the posterior or corneal segment, glaucoma, or those who have had previous intraocular surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of how digital assistance impacts visual outcomes for cataract patients.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promising results in assessing visual outcomes with advanced intraocular lenses.
