Light-adjustable Lens for Cataract Patients
Background: As people age the natural lens in the back of eye becomes cloudy; this is called a “cataract”. The cataract can be removed and replaced with a small plastic lens, called an IOL.
Purpose: The purpose of this multi-center research study is to evaluate an investigational new IOL that can be adjusted to fine-tune someone’s vision after the lens is inside the eye.
Participation: Enrollment in the current phase of study is complete. Patients are being followed for 3 years. A follow up phase may open to enrollment in 2010.
Impact: This lens could potentially provide the people with truly customized vision after cataract surgery.
