The effect of blue-blocking intraocular lenses on circadian biological rhythm: protocol for a randomised controlled trial (CLOCK-IOL colour study) by Taiji Hasegawa, Kenji Obayashi, Kimie Miyata, Tetsuo Ueda, Norio Kurumatani, Keigo Saeki, Nahoko Ogata, Hiroki Tsujinaka, Mariko Yamashita, Tomo Nishi, Nobuhiro Tone, Naonori Masuda, Yutarou Mizusawa, Masahiro Okamoto, Shinji Maruoka, Masashi Kojima, Toyoaki Matsuura

“…Meanwhile, blue light causes photochemical damage to the retina, and may be associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). At present, clear intraocular lenses (IOLs) and blue-blocking IOLs are both widely used for cataract surgery; there is currently a lack of randomised controlled trials to determine whether clear or blue-blocking IOLs should be used.Methods and analysis This randomised controlled trial will recruit 1000 cataract patients and randomly allocate them to receive clear IOLs or blue-blocking IOLs in a ratio of 1:1. …”
