Cataract surgery and its effect on the retina in wet macular degeneration
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) affects the retina in people who have wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that causes vision loss. It may help doctors understand if surgery is safe and how it changes the back of the eye over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have had cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) and are coming for a routine check-up.
- You have wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD).
- You do not have diabetes.
- You have no other eye problems like glaucoma, inflammation, infection, or a history of eye trauma or previous vitrectomy (a type of eye surgery).
- You have not had complications during surgery, and you do not have pre-existing macular edema (swelling in the retina) or cystoid macular edema.

This study tests a new experimental eye drop (EYC-0305) for wet AMD, a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The goal is to see if it can slow or prevent further damage to central vision.
This study looks at how age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the light-sensitive part of the eye (retina) and the brain. By joining, you help researchers learn more about the condition, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
This trial studies how diabetic macular edema (swelling in the center of the retina) might change after cataract surgery. It may help doctors understand if surgery is safe for people with this condition.
This study examines how different surgical approaches during cataract removal affect your vision and eye health after surgery. If you need cataract surgery, this trial may help doctors understand which techniques work best for patients like you.
This study looks at how cataract surgery affects dry eye. It may help us understand if surgery can improve or worsen dry eye symptoms.
This study looks at how cataract surgery affects the surface of the eye in people with diabetes. Researchers want to see if the surgery causes changes, so they can better understand and care for diabetic patients.
