Evaluation of different intraocular lenses for cataract surgery

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 investigates the effectiveness of various hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Participants with age-related cataracts and astigmatism will receive one of three types of toric IOLs, and their postoperative outcomes will be assessed through visual acuity and lens rotation evaluations at multiple time points. The study aims to determine the optimal lens type for improving vision in patients with specific astigmatism levels. All procedures will be conducted following informed consent from the participants.
