Ten additional patients are being sought for an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens clinical study, based in Sydney.
The study is being conducted by Associate Professor Chandra Bala from personalEYES.
Optometrists are being invited to identify and refer potentially suitable cataract patients who may be interested in participating.
While initial screening and assessment can be performed at any Sydney personalEYES clinic, all subsequent study visits, including surgery and follow-up, will take place at Parramatta in Sydney.

All patients must undergo clinical screening, and participation is subject to the study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria:
