Implanting functional intraocular lenses in patients with epiretinal membrane

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 prospective, multicenter study aims to evaluate the impact of different intraocular lenses (IOLs) on visual outcomes in cataract patients diagnosed with grade-1 macular epiretinal membrane (ERM). Patients will be assessed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and will choose between a standard monofocal IOL and a functional IOL for implantation. The study will follow participants for two years, measuring visual acuity and other ocular parameters to determine the effectiveness of the functional IOL compared to the standard option. Outcome measures include various visual acuity assessments and detailed optical measurements.
