The cataract surgery in each eye will occur on 2 different days at least 7 days apart, and patients will need to return to the study doctor’s office for evaluation over a 6-month period.

Patients may qualify for this study if they are between 40 and 80 years of age and currently have cataracts in both eyes that are affecting their vision.

Compensation is available for qualifying patients. Enrollment is limited. Medicare & most insurance accepted.
