Comparing two approaches to prevent cataract surgery complications
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and planning to have cataract surgery on both eyes.
- Your cataract surgery will not be combined with any other eye procedure (like glaucoma or retina surgery).
- You do not have glaucoma or a history of being a 'steroid responder' (bad reaction to steroid eye drops).
- You are not taking oral anti-inflammatory drugs for a long-term condition (daily aspirin 81 mg or occasional ibuprofen is fine).
- You have not had an eye injection in the last 6 months, and you do not have any prior eye implant.
- You are willing to attend all study visits and follow the study instructions.

This trial compares two ways to remove a cataract (cloudy lens) during surgery to see which gives better vision sooner. It is for people with dense cataracts who are scheduled for standard cataract surgery with a new lens implant.
This study looks at how much of the drug ketorolac (a pain and inflammation medicine) gets into the fluid inside your eye when it's given as eye drops during combined cataract and vitrectomy surgery. It may help doctors understand if using another drug called phenylephrine alongside it changes those levels.
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 study looks at how well your vision works and how different cataract surgery lens choices perform. It may help researchers better understand what affects sight after cataract surgery.
This study compares two different devices (MINIject® and Hydrus® Microstent) used in microinvasive glaucoma surgery, both done at the same time as cataract surgery. It aims to find which one works better at lowering eye pressure.
This study compares two types of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery to improve vision at multiple distances. It is for people with cataracts in both eyes who have not had previous eye surgery.
