What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Symfony IOLDevice
The Symfony IOL is a lens designed to provide high quality vision up tp 26 inches reducing the need for glasses after routine cataract surgery in patients with or without astigmatism.
Vivity IOLDevice
The Vivity IOL is a lens that provides extended range of vision ranging from distance to near reducing the need for glasses after routine cataract surgery in patients with or without astigmatism.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Symfony IOL | Active comparator | The Symfony IOL is a lens designed to provide high quality vision up tp 26 inches reducing the need for glasses after routine cataract surgery in patients with or without astigmatism. Receives: Device: Symfony IOL |
| Vivity IOL | Active comparator | The Vivity IOL is a lens that provides extended range of vision ranging from distance to near reducing the need for glasses after routine cataract surgery in patients with or without astigmatism. Receives: Device: Vivity IOL |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Symfony IOL and Vivity IOL in people with Cataract, run by Carolina Eyecare Physicians, LLC at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Feb 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Binocular Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity at 66 cm Under Mesopic Conditions. (time frame: 3 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Feb 2025.
