Steroid eye drops for inflammation after cataract surgery in young children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 0 to under 4 years old at the time parents sign consent
- The cataract surgery is routine and uncomplicated, for one eye (with or without an artificial lens)
- There is some visible inflammation in the front part of the study eye after surgery (not zero)
- A parent or caregiver can reliably give study treatment and attend follow-up visits
- The study eye has no active or suspected infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) and no active uveitis
- Your child cannot already be on certain eye drops or steroid medicines just before 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 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 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 trial studies whether DEXYCU is safe to use to reduce eye inflammation after cataract surgery in children. It aims to see if the medicine’s side effects are acceptable and whether it helps during normal recovery.
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 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.
