Cataract clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 10 recruiting cataract studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05564091Recruiting
Add a minimally invasive canaloplasty step to cataract surgery
This trial compares standard cataract surgery alone versus cataract surgery plus a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye. It is intended for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma, to see if adding this step helps control eye pressure and preserve vision.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT07084545Recruiting
Cataract surgery lens for people with prior laser vision correction
This trial tests a special lens (CT LUCIA) for people who had laser vision correction in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see how well the lens works in these patients.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07693205RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two lens types for cataract surgery with astigmatism
This study compares two types of artificial lenses placed during cataract surgery to see which one gives better vision for people with cataracts and astigmatism. You will receive the same type of lens in both eyes.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06922084RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing three types of artificial lens implants for cataract surgery
This study tests different artificial lens implants (called intraocular lenses or IOLs) to see which gives the best vision after cataract surgery. If you have cataracts in both eyes and need surgery, you may be able to join.
Houston, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT07347379Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for people with the light adjustable lens
This study checks how well the light adjustable lens (a special artificial lens used in cataract surgery that can be adjusted after it's placed in the eye) holds up over time in people who already have it.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT03047369Recruiting
Myelin brain disorder research biobank for samples and data
This study collects brain-related medical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand leukodystrophies and other white-matter brain disorders. It may help future diagnosis and treatments by building a valuable “biobank” of patient data and samples.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04553523Recruiting
Hydrus microstent study for open-angle glaucoma with cataracts
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
Austin, TexasAges 45 years+ - NCT06060041Recruiting
Study of the IC-8 Apthera lens after cataract surgery
This study is for people who already have an IC-8 Apthera lens in one eye and need treatment for clouding on the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification). It evaluates how well this lens works over time.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07218783RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new glaucoma implant with cataract surgery
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07218796RecruitingPhase 3
Bimatoprost implant with IOL vs. timolol drops for glaucoma
This trial tests if a bimatoprost implant placed during cataract surgery (combined with a special lens) can lower eye pressure better than standard timolol eye drops. It may help people with mild to moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure who are already planning cataract surgery.

What taking part in a cataract study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there cataract clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting cataract studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cataract study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cataract trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New cataract studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
