This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double masked trial comparing an investigational Monofocal Toric intraocular lens (IOL) (PODEYE TORIC CYL 1.5 D) and a commercially available non-toric monofocal IOL.
The study will include adult subjects with operable cataract in at least one eye along with pre-existing corneal astigmatism who are eligible for phacoemulsification cataract surgery followed by IOL implantation.
388 studies on the registry are indexed under Eye Diseases; 62 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 261 is above the median of 62 across 269 interventional studies indexed under Eye Diseases.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Best corrected visual acuity equal to or worse than 0.3 logMAR, with or without a glare source in the study eye.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects with irregular corneal astigmatism in the study eye (Note: corneal incisions intended to reduce astigmatism are not permitted)
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Ran from Jun 2024 to primary completion in Nov 2025, 16 months.
Results were first posted in Apr 2026, 5 months after primary completion.
Of 68 interventional studies with no phase under Eye Diseases, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 49. This study's 16 months is below that.
Eye Diseases covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.
