Glaucoma implant placed during cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether placing a small glaucoma implant at the same time as cataract surgery can better control eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help reduce the need for medicines or improve control, depending on how your eyes respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary open-angle glaucoma in the study eye
- You also have cataract that can be treated with standard cataract surgery and an implanted lens
- Your glaucoma is not well controlled with at least one eye pressure–lowering drop (or you can’t tolerate one because of an allergy/intolerance)
- You are able to give written informed consent
- You do not have an allergy (or suspected allergy) to medical silicone

This trial tests a surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
This trial compares two types of lens implants during cataract surgery for people with mild to moderate glaucoma. The goal is to see which lens provides better vision and satisfaction.
This trial tests if a bimatoprost implant placed during cataract surgery (combined with a special lens) can lower eye pressure better than standard timolol eye drops. It may help people with mild to moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure who are already planning cataract surgery.
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.
This study tests a new minimally-invasive surgery called MIMS to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled even with multiple eye drop medications. The surgery makes a tiny opening to help fluid drain and reduce pressure in the eye.
