Tested preservative-free vs standard eye drops after cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares different anti-inflammatory and pain-relief eye drops after cataract surgery to see which one works better. It focuses on whether preservative-free drops cause fewer problems (like irritation) while still protecting the eye during healing.

This trial tests if prednisolone eye drops can reduce pain during second-eye cataract surgery. It may help people who are scheduled for their second surgery within 30 days of the first.
This trial compares two ways to prevent inflammation and comfort you after cataract surgery: usual antibiotic/steroid eye drops versus a “no-drops” option that is placed during surgery. It mainly looks at patient preference, comfort, and ease of treatment after surgery.
This study tests a new anti-inflammatory eye drop (PRO-232) in people who had routine cataract surgery on one eye the day before. The goal is to see if it helps control swelling and pain without problems.
This trial tests three different anti-inflammatory eye drops to see which works best for pain and swelling after cataract surgery. You may join if you are scheduled for cataract surgery only, and you can apply the drops yourself or have help.
This study tests two different eye drops to see which one works better for treating dry eye symptoms in people having cataract surgery. If you have dry eyes and are planning cataract surgery, this trial may help find which drop offers more comfort.
This study tests whether a clobetasol steroid eye drop (a nanoemulsion) reduces eye inflammation after cataract surgery in babies and toddlers. It may help protect comfort and eye healing after surgery.
