Examining the link between preoperative measurements and visual outcomes in cataract patients
Official title: Study of the Correlation Between Preoperative Precise Biometrics, Spatial Assessment and Postoperative Visual Quality in Cataract Patients
Run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine · NCT04833491 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how certain measurements taken before cataract surgery can help us understand how well patients see afterward.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with monocular or binocular cataracts who require surgical intervention.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with systemic diseases affecting vision, uncontrolled diabetes, or severe ocular conditions may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to analyze the relationship between precise preoperative biometrics and spatial assessments with the quality of vision experienced by patients after cataract surgery. By following patients prospectively, the study seeks to gather insights on the effectiveness of current cataract treatment methods and improve clinical practices. The focus is on enhancing the diagnosis and management of cataracts through detailed postoperative evaluations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and visual quality for cataract patients.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have explored aspects of cataract surgery outcomes, this specific correlation between preoperative biometrics and postoperative visual quality is a novel approach.
