iStent versus laser for exfoliation glaucoma with cataract
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatment options for people with exfoliation glaucoma who also have cataracts: a tiny implant placed during cataract surgery (iStent) versus laser treatment. It aims to see which approach better controls eye pressure over 12 months and improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign consent and you can attend visits for about 12 months.
- You have clinically significant cataract and mild-to-moderate exfoliation glaucoma.
- Your glaucoma pressure goal is at least 16 (target eye pressure ≥16), based on your eye doctor’s plan.
- Your glaucoma must be in an allowed control group: either pressure is at your target, or pressure is above target while you are on glaucoma drops.
- You can communicate in Finnish, Swedish, or English and understand study instructions.

This study tests an endoscopic laser procedure to lower eye pressure and slow damage in people with normal-tension glaucoma. It may help protect the optic nerve, especially if your glaucoma is stable on drops and you also have a cataract.
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.
This trial tests a laser treatment called direct SLT for people with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective at lowering eye pressure.
This trial tests which of two micro-surgeries for glaucoma works better when you're also having cataract surgery. It may help you if you have both cataracts and glaucoma and take eye drops to control eye pressure.
This study tests whether a laser treatment helps keep eye pressure stable in people with early glaucoma or high eye pressure who have not used any eye drops or medications before. It may be a good option if you are looking for a treatment that doesn't require daily eye drops.
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.
