About this trial
Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause changes in vision. Symptoms of cataracts include cloudy or fuzzy vision and sensitivity to glare. Cataract extraction with Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world.
Presbyopia affects almost everyone over the age of 50. With age, the natural crystalline lens loses its ability to change shape, or accommodate, to focus on near distances. Thus, individuals with excellent distance vision will still need to wear spectacles for near tasks such as reading, and intermediate tasks such as computer work.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers

Preoperative best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) worse than 20/30 Snellen;
Clear intraocular media, other than cataract;
Calculated lens power within the available range (available range of +16 D to +24 D);
Disqualifiers
Desire for monovision correction
History of Dry Eye treatments/devices (example IPL, Lipiflow, iLux, Tear Care, Bruder Mask, True Tear) or any dry eye medications other than artificial tears (example, Restasis, Xiidra, Cequa, Klarity-C, generic cyclosporine/compounded cyclosporine)
