Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 55–80 years old with cataract who can dilate adequately, have no prior ocular surgery or significant anterior segment abnormalities, and meet general health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with prior ocular surgery or trauma, polar cataract, zonular instability, pseudoexfoliation, active ocular infection or uveitis, or high anesthetic/surgical risk (ASA > 3) are unlikely to qualify or benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, open-label interventional study in which the ORYOM Robotic Surgical System is used during standard cataract operations. Adult patients scheduled for cataract extraction at a single center in Makati will undergo surgery with the robotic system and be followed for perioperative and short-term postoperative outcomes. Key enrollment criteria include age 55–80, clear intraocular media aside from the cataract, and adequate pupil dilation, while patients with prior ocular surgery, polar cataract, zonular instability, pseudoexfoliation, active infection, or uveitis are excluded. The study will record procedural performance metrics, intraoperative safety events, and routine postoperative visual and ocular health outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the system could increase surgical precision and reduce intraoperative complications, potentially improving visual outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Robotic assistance in ophthalmic surgery is an emerging field with early feasibility reports showing improved instrument stability and precision, but large-scale proof of clinical benefit for cataract outcomes is still limited.
