After cataract surgery, a drop-free medicine plan
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a “drop-free” medication plan after cataract surgery works well and is practical for people receiving care at a county hospital. It may help reduce the need for multiple eye drops after surgery while still protecting the eye as it heals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were seen at the eye clinic and your eye doctor approved cataract surgery in both eyes

- You are 18 years old or older
- You are NOT planning same-day surgery on both eyes at the same time
- You do not have certain past eye problems (like past severe eye infection after surgery or major swelling/diabetic swelling in the retina within the last year)

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.
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 trial tests if ripasudil eye drops can help people with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED) during and after cataract surgery. It aims to see if the drops protect the eye's inner layer and improve recovery.
This study looks at how doctors' suggestions help patients with cataracts decide whether to have surgery. Researchers will test whether certain planning prompts make it easier for patients to accept surgery when it could improve their vision.
This study looks at how dry eye symptoms change after cataract surgery. It is for older adults (50–90) having simple cataract surgery for the first time, without other eye problems or certain health conditions.
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.
