Recruiting studies
- NCT07468877Recruiting
Comparing two cataract surgery systems for bilateral cataract removal
This trial compares two machines used during cataract surgery to see which one uses less energy and ultrasound time. If you are healthy and need cataract surgery in both eyes, this study might help determine the best approach.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07769944Recruiting

Surgery versus laser for early pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
This trial compares cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) versus a laser treatment (SLT) as the first treatment for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. It aims to find which approach lowers eye pressure and helps prevent progression for people with early disease and cataracts.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 50 years+ - NCT06953349Recruiting
Surgery systems with cataract and glaucoma treatment
This trial looks at how well certain surgical systems work when combined with cataract surgery and a glaucoma procedure. It may help people with glaucoma who need fewer medications after surgery.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07462000Recruiting
Eye fluid and tissue analysis in glaucoma and cataract
This study collects eye fluid and tissue samples during planned cataract or combined cataract-glaucoma surgery to analyze differences between people with and without glaucoma. It may help researchers understand eye disease better.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07722247Recruiting
Eye stiffness and healing in cataract surgery with PEX
This study looks at how your eye's outer layer (cornea) heals and changes shape after cataract surgery, specifically comparing people who have pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) with those who do not. The goal is to see if PEX affects the final vision result after cataract removal.
Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska CountyAges 50–85 - NCT07756385Recruiting
Comparing two cataract surgery systems
This study compares two different machines used for cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) to see if one is better. If you're having cataract surgery on both eyes, this trial might help improve your treatment.
ZagrebAges 18 years+ - NCT05822089Recruiting
Comparing two cataract lens types in the same person
This study compares two different cataract (intraocular) lens options in each eye of the same person. It aims to see which lens gives better distance vision after standard cataract surgery.
ViennaAges 50–100 - NCT07550907Recruiting
Cataract Surgery Outcomes and Surgical Technique Study
This study examines how different surgical approaches during cataract removal affect your vision and eye health after surgery. If you need cataract surgery, this trial may help doctors understand which techniques work best for patients like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50–90 - NCT06513000Recruiting
Dry eye changes after cataract surgery
This study measures how dry eyes get after cataract surgery. It may help patients know what to expect after their operation.
SohagAges 45 years+ - NCT06659419Recruiting
Cataract surgery registry using Centurion machines
This study collects information from people who had routine cataract surgery with a specific machine (Centurion). It helps doctors learn more about how these surgeries go and improve care.
ParisAges Any age - NCT06781970Recruiting
Vitamin C for eye cell protection during cataract surgery
This trial tests whether taking vitamin C before and after cataract surgery can help protect the inner layer of the eye. It is for people aged 60 or older with hard, age-related cataracts who are having phacoemulsification surgery.
Jakarta, DKI JakartaAges 60 years+ - NCT06826417Recruiting
Anxiety and satisfaction in cataract surgery patients
This study looks at how anxiety before cataract surgery affects your satisfaction after the operation. It also tests if a common anti-anxiety medicine (XANAX) can help anxious patients feel more comfortable during surgery.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 18–80 - NCT06848946RecruitingPhase 4
Eye implant with cataract surgery vs. cataract surgery alone
This trial tests if a tiny implant called iDose® TR, placed during cataract surgery, can better control eye pressure in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure compared to cataract surgery alone.
Kenosha, WisconsinAges 45 years+ - NCT06865235Recruiting
Glaucoma and cataract surgery with a new device
This trial tests a surgery that combines cataract removal with a new technique to lower eye pressure in people who have both primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to see if this combined surgery is safe and effective.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 40 years+ - NCT06952153Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for glaucoma with cataract
This trial compares two types of eye surgery—one that removes the cataract and opens blocked drainage channels, and another that creates a new drainage pathway. It aims to find which works better for people with both glaucoma and cataracts.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 40 years+ - NCT06966167Recruiting
Laser vs. standard cataract surgery in Fuchs' dystrophy
This study compares two types of cataract surgery in people with Fuchs' dystrophy: one using a laser and the standard method. It looks at which approach gives better results for the cornea and vision.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT07074431Recruiting
Comparing two methods for cataract surgery
This trial compares a new high-frequency pulsed vacuum technology to standard cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) for treating cataracts in both eyes. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for people with mild to moderate cataracts.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07077967Recruiting
Light perception study for patients with special lens implants
This trial studies how well patients see light after getting a special kind of lens implant that helps with both near and far vision without glasses. It aims to understand how their eyes perceive brightness compared to normal vision.
Alexandroupoli, EvrosAges 45–75 - NCT07147192Recruiting
Study of a new lens that moves with your eye
This trial tests a new type of artificial lens (IOL) that aims to adjust focus like a natural lens, potentially reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery. You may join if you have cataracts in both eyes scheduled for removal.
San JoséAges 22 years+ - NCT07165197Recruiting
Comparing two new lens implants for cataract surgery
This study compares two types of extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens implants to see how well they improve vision after cataract surgery. It may help people who need both distance and near vision without glasses.
Sant Cugat del Vallès, BarcelonaAges 50 years+ - NCT07265388Recruiting
Testing a scoring system for Fuchs dystrophy and cataract surgery
This study tests a scoring system to predict how well people with Fuchs dystrophy do after cataract surgery. It may help doctors plan better treatment for your cornea and lens.
Madrid, MadridAges 40 years+ - NCT07276217Recruiting
Cataract surgery lens registry study
This trial is a registry for people having cataract surgery in both eyes. It collects information on different types of artificial lenses used to improve vision, and follows up to see how well they work.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for phacoemulsification?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting phacoemulsification studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a phacoemulsification trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a phacoemulsification trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
