Glaucoma clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 17 recruiting glaucoma studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 1, Phase 2/Phase 3, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06822738RecruitingPhase 3
Study of XEN63 gel stent for glaucoma patients
This trial tests a new gel stent (XEN63) to lower eye pressure in adults with glaucoma. It compares two ways of putting the stent in the eye, and may help people who have not had success with other treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 45 years+ - NCT06313749Recruiting
Trial of a new surgery for glaucoma not helped by eye drops
This study tests a new minimally-invasive surgery called MIMS to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled even with multiple eye drop medications. The surgery makes a tiny opening to help fluid drain and reduce pressure in the eye.
Dallas, TexasAges 40–85 - NCT07220876Recruiting
VisiPlate implant for hard-to-control open-angle glaucoma
This trial tests a new device called VisiPlate that is placed in the eye to help lower pressure for people with hard-to-control open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if standard treatments haven't worked well enough.
Dallas, TexasAges 45 years+ - NCT07281391Recruiting
Laser treatment for pigmentary glaucoma
This trial tests a laser procedure called DSLT to lower eye pressure in people with pigmentary glaucoma. It may offer a treatment option for those who have not had prior glaucoma surgeries.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07520175Enrolling by invitation
Bio-Reinforced Canaloplasty for Open-Angle Glaucoma
This study tests a newer surgical procedure called bio-reinforced canaloplasty, which helps fluid drain better from the eye to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. Researchers will follow patients to see how well this procedure works and how safe it is.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT05401357RecruitingPhase 3
Test eye drops for glaucoma or high eye pressure in both eyes
This Phase 3 study compares two versions of the same glaucoma eye-drop medicine (bimatoprost 0.01%) to see how similarly they work and their effect on eye pressure. It may help people with chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who need treatment in both eyes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05844384Recruiting
Testing a new eye drop bottle for glaucoma
This study checks whether a device called the Nanodropper helps deliver glaucoma medicine as well as standard use. It is for adults with stable primary open-angle glaucoma (or ocular hypertension) who are on a limited number of eye-pressure medicines.
Lackland Air Force Base, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06267274RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing two forms of bimatoprost for glaucoma or high eye pressure
This trial tests whether a new formulation of bimatoprost works as well as an existing one to lower eye pressure in people with chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It involves multiple eye drop doses and checks for safety and effectiveness.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04967989RecruitingPhase 3
Laser eye treatment timing for certain glaucoma or eye pressure
This Phase 3 study tests how best to use a laser treatment (SLT) for people with high eye pressure or mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma. It aims to find the best way to lower eye pressure and protect vision while comparing treatment approaches.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07075718RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Evaluating a new travoprost eye implant for glaucoma
This trial tests a newer version of a tiny implant placed inside the eye to lower pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It may offer a treatment option that doesn't require daily eye drops.
El Paso, TexasAges 18 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.
San Antonio, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07428668Recruiting
Laser treatment for eye pressure changes in glaucoma
This trial tests a laser treatment called DSLT to see how it affects eye pressure changes over 6 months. It may help people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure who are currently using 0 to 3 types of pressure-lowering eye drops.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07465913RecruitingPhase 4
Rocklatan vs Latanoprost after DSLT laser
This study compares two eye drops—Rocklatan and latanoprost—for people with open-angle glaucoma who have already had a laser treatment (DSLT). It tests whether one drop works better than the other at lowering eye pressure after the laser.
Beaumont, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07661329RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new eye drop to a standard one for glaucoma and high eye pressure
This study tests a new eye drop against an existing one to see which better lowers eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. You may be able to join if you have high eye pressure in both eyes that needs treatment and you are at least 18 years old.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+

What taking part in a glaucoma 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 glaucoma clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 17 recruiting glaucoma 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 glaucoma 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 glaucoma 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 glaucoma 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.
