Clinical Trial: Can Tailored Surgical Incisions Reduce Refractive Error and Dependence on Glasses After Cataract Surgery?

U.S., June 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07623317) titled 'Can Tailored Surgical Incisions Reduce Refractive Error and Dependence on Glasses After Cataract Surgery?' on May 28.

Brief Summary: Astigmatism is a common cause of continued dependence on glasses after cataract surgery and may lead to patient dissatisfaction with surgical outcomes. As the corneal curvature is the main source for astigmatism after cataract surgery, our aim is to investigate whether postoperative astigmatism can be reduced by tailoring the location of surgical incisions according to the curvature of the cornea. We also wish to investigate whether this in turn reduces the need for glasses following cataract surgery. ...
