Recruiting studies in Utah
- NCT06924944Recruiting
A study of a new lens for people who had laser eye surgery
This study looks at how well a type of artificial lens (Clareon Vivity) works for people who have had laser eye surgery in the past and now need cataract surgery. It aims to see if this lens gives good vision without glasses.
Ogden, UtahAges Any age - NCT06383273RecruitingPhase 3
Study of MELT-300 for sedation during cataract surgery
This trial tests a new sedative medication, MELT-300, to help you relax during cataract surgery. It's for people having surgery on one eye and aims to see if it works better than standard care.
Pleasant Grove, UtahAges 18–65 - 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.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 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.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 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.
Bountiful, UtahAges 22 years+ - NCT06801678Recruiting
Comparing two eye measurement devices for cataract surgery
This trial tests two different devices that measure your eyes before cataract surgery to see which one helps doctors choose the best lens implant. The goal is to get your vision as close to perfect as possible after surgery.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 21 years+ - NCT07480343Enrolling by invitation
Five-year follow-up after CREST glaucoma study
This study follows up with people who finished the CREST study to check how their eyes are doing 5 years later. It looks at the long-term results of a prior glaucoma treatment.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges Any age - NCT07073937Enrolling by invitation
Three-year results of combined microstent and canaloplasty surgery
This trial is checking how well a combined eye surgery (Hydrus microstent plus canaloplasty plus cataract surgery) works over 3 years. It looks at long-term safety and effect on eye pressure. It's for people with open-angle glaucoma who already had that specific combination of procedures.

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 Utah?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting cataract studies with a site in Utah, 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 Utah?
- 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 Utah to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Utah, 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.
