U.S., Sept. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07842809) titled 'Capsular Tension Ring With Hydrophilic Versus Hydrophobic Intraocular Lenses' on Sept. 21.
Brief Summary: This study compares three approaches to cataract surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the eye's cloudy natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision. IOLs are made from different materials, most commonly a "hydrophilic" (water-attracting) acrylic or a "hydrophobic" (water-repelling) acrylic. Hydrophilic lenses are generally easier and less expensive to use, but have been linked in past research to a higher chance of the lens capsule becoming cloudy again after surgery (po...
