Recruiting PHASE4 Cataract

Compares treatment options for Cataract

Official title A Prospective, Randomized, Subject- and Examiner-Masked, Multicenter Study Comparing Bilateral Clareon TruPlus and Bilateral Clareon Monofocal Intraocular Lens Implantation (Spherical and Toric) in Cataract Subjects

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07693205

What this study is testing

What it's testing
This investigator-initiated trial is a prospective, randomized, parallel-group, bilateral implantation study comparing Clareon TruPlus versus Clareon monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). Spherical and toric models are permitted in both arms based on standardized preoperative planning and clinical indication.
  • Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment

Who can take part

Ages 22 and older

You may be able to join if

  • Adult cataract patients aged ≥22 years scheduled for cataract surgery in both eyes due to visually significant cataracts.
  • Ability to understand and sign an IRB/ethics committee-approved informed consent form.
  • Willingness and ability to attend all scheduled study visits as required by the protocol and complete all study testing procedures.
  • Postoperative potential visual acuity of 20/25 or better in each eye, as determined by the investigator.
  • Preoperative corneal astigmatism that can be corrected with a T3-T5 toric IOL, or with a spherical IOL plus LRIs/Aks, with either resulting in a...

You likely can't join if

  • Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant during the study period, or breastfeeding (by verbal confirmation).
  • Ocular conditions that could confound study results, including moderate-to-severe corneal pathology, irregular astigmatism, moderate-to-severe dry...
  • Any form of confirmed glaucomatous optic neuropathy or other optic nerve disease expected to affect visual function outcomes.
  • History of amblyopia, monofixation syndrome, or other binocular vision disorder with poor stereopsis that could confound binocular testing.
  • Prior ocular surgery (including corneal refractive surgery) in either eye.
  • Zonular laxity/dehiscence, pseudoexfoliation with clinically significant zonulopathy, nystagmus, or strabismus that could compromise uncomplicated...
