Evaluation of Head-Mounted Spatial Computing and Three-Dimensional (3D) Visualization in Ocular Microsurgery: A Safety and Workflow Study
United States45 participantsStarted 2026-03-11
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of the research study device, the Apple Vision Pro head-mounted spatial computing display, with the Zeiss Artevo 850 digital microscope system, for the visualization during cataract and anterior segment surgery. Specifically, researchers will assess how the study device affects surgical staff experience and workflow and monitor for patient safety and intraoperative complications associated with the use of the device.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults aged 18 years or older
* Scheduled to undergo elective anterior segment eye surgery, including: cataract surgery, pterygium excision, corneal epithelial polishing
* Able and willing to provide informed consent prior to participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Complex ocular pathology that could interfere with surgical visualization or increase procedural risk, including but not limited to:
* Lens zonular instability or phacodonesis
* Prior vitreoretinal surgery (e.g., vitrectomy, scleral buckle, glaucoma drainage device) in the operative eye
* Significant corneal scarring, opacity, or edema
* Active ocular surface inflammation or infection
* Cognitive impairment or language barriers that prevent the patient from understanding and signing informed consent.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
