Diabetes and eye inflammation in diabetic retinopathy
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how diabetes and eye inflammation are linked in people with diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by diabetes). By studying fluid samples from the eye during cataract surgery, researchers hope to find new ways to treat or prevent this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 40 years old.
- You are having cataract surgery (or have had it)
- You may or may not have diabetes
- If you have diabetes, you have not had any eye injections, laser, or surgery in the last 3 months
- No other eye conditions like high myopia, active eye inflammation, or pregnancy

This study looks back at medical records of people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) progresses and when treatment is needed. It may help doctors better predict risks and guide future care.
This study uses special eye photographs to look at early signs of diabetes damage in the eyes and kidneys. It may help doctors predict how diabetes complications progress and plan better care.
This study tests a new approach aimed at improving diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy). It may help by changing inflammation and related processes in the eye, especially in people who have diabetes and eye changes.
This study looks for specific eye findings (“biomarkers”) in people with type 2 diabetes using eye imaging. It may help researchers better understand diabetic retinopathy and how to detect it earlier or more accurately.
This study tests whether an experimental eye drop can slow or treat early-stage diabetic retinopathy. If you have diabetes-related vision changes, this treatment might help prevent the condition from getting worse.
This study closely follows people with type 2 diabetes who have early signs of diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina from diabetes) to see how the condition changes over time. It does not test a new treatment but monitors the eye's health closely. It may be a good fit if you have diabetic retinopathy that does not need immediate treatment.
