Glaucoma surgery study for people with controlled eye pressure and cataracts
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgery that combines cataract removal with a glaucoma procedure to lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It's for people whose eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 medications but who also have significant cataracts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You have primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), a common type of glaucoma.
- Your eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 eye drops and is 24 mmHg or lower.
- You have a cataract that affects your vision (best corrected vision of 0.63 or worse on a standard eye chart).
- You have not had any eye surgery or serious eye injury before.
- You do not have other types of glaucoma or severe eye diseases.

This study looks at how your eye's drainage angle changes after glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors understand what happens to the front part of your eye after procedures like laser or surgery to open the drainage area.
This study looks at people with glaucoma or high eye pressure to understand how surgeries and laser treatments affect long-term outcomes. It may help doctors predict which treatments work best for different patients.
This trial studies a new tube-shunt surgery (SCTSC) against the standard trabeculectomy for people with open-angle glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops. It is only for people who have already had cataract surgery.
This trial tests a single surgery to treat both glaucoma and cataracts at the same time. It is for people who have not had any prior glaucoma treatment and need cataract surgery.
This trial tests a surgery that combines cataract removal with a new technique to lower eye pressure in people who have both primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to see if this combined surgery is safe and effective.
This study combines cataract surgery with a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye, which may help lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. It aims to see if this combined approach is safe and effective for both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma.
