Preference trial of eye drops versus no-drops after cataract surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 22 years old and generally in good health (your doctor decides).
- Be able to understand the study and sign informed consent, and be willing to return for all visits.
- Have cataract surgery planned with standard lens replacement (routine phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens).
- If you can become pregnant: you must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, have a negative pregnancy test, and use reliable birth control.
- You must not have certain tear-drainage (nasolacrimal) problems, significant eyelid/lid-lining/corneal issues, or signs of eye inflammation at screening.

This Phase 4 study looks at a treatment plan around the time of planned surgery on both eyes (called RLE). It may help the researchers learn how safe and effective the approach is for improving eye outcomes after surgery.
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 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 compares two ways to prevent complications after cataract surgery. One group gets a special combination of eye drops and a steroid injection before surgery, and the other group gets standard care. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer problems after surgery.
