May 14, 2026 updated by: Alcon Research
The purpose of this study is to understand the visual outcomes of the investigational intraocular lens (IOL) Model LPYWT0 when compared to the commercially marketed Clareon PanOptix Pro IOL Model PXYWT0.

Detailed Description

In this study, subjects with cataracts in both eyes will undergo cataract surgery and be implanted with trifocal IOLs. One eye will receive the investigational IOL Model LPYWT0 IOL, and the other eye will receive the commercially marketed Clareon PanOptix Pro IOL Model PXYWT0. The second eye surgery will occur 7-14 days after the first. Subjects will attend 9 planned study visits to include for an individual duration of participation of approximately 7 months.

This study is planned to be conducted in India, The Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand.

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • The calculated power needed for the artificial lens (IOL) must be between +15.0 and +25.0 D in each eye, designed to bring subject vision as close to "0.0" (neutral) as possible, meaning they will not be strongly nearsighted or farsighted after surgery.
  • Subjects must have low levels of astigmatism (misshapen cornea) in the eyes (less than 1.00 D).
  • In the doctor's opinion, the subjects have the potential to achieve good vision (0.2 logMAR, which is roughly 20/32 Snellen or better) in each eye after the surgery, when wearing the best possible spectacles or contact lenses.
  • Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically significant corneal diseases which may, according to the investigator's medical opinion, adversely affect visual outcomes.
  • Any ocular or systemic health condition or medical issue that, in the investigator's medical opinion, could make the study results unreliable, prevent the person from finishing the study, or increase their safety risk.
  • People who want to have one eye set for distance vision and the other for near vision.
  • The doctor expects significant blurry vision (astigmatism) after the procedure.
  • Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: LPYWT0 / PXYWT0
Investigational IOL Model LPYWT0 implanted in the first operative eye during cataract surgery with Clareon PanOptix Pro IOL Model PXYWT0 in the second eye, as randomized. The second eye will be implanted 7-14 days after the first.
Procedure: Cataract Surgery
Removal of the cataractous lens by phacoemulsification followed by implantation of the IOL
Device: LPYWT0
Investigational blue light filtering trifocal IOL implanted in the capsular bag of the eye during cataract surgery intended to remain in the eye for the lifetime of the subject.
Device: PXYWT0
Commercially available blue light filtering trifocal IOL implanted in the capsular bag of the eye during cataract surgery intended to remain in the eye for the lifetime of the subject.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Monocular Photopic Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA)
Time Frame: Month 6 postoperative
Visual Acuity will be assessed using letter charts under well-lit (photopic) conditions with correction in place at a distance of 4 meters from the subject. BCDVA will be recorded in logarithm minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) where 0.0 logMAR is equivalent to 20/20 Snellen, or normal distance eyesight, and negative logMAR values represent better-than-normal distance eyesight.
Month 6 postoperative
