Cataract Surgery and the Retina in Wet Macular Degeneration
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how cataract surgery might affect the retina (the back part of the eye) in people with wet age-related macular degeneration. It aims to see if the surgery causes any changes that could impact your vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with wet (neovascular) age-related macular degeneration.
- You have had cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) without complications.
- You do NOT have diabetes.
- You do NOT have other eye problems like macular edema, glaucoma, active infection, or previous eye surgery (vitrectomy).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 looks at how cataract surgery affects dry eye disease. It compares people without dry eye to those with mild or moderate dry eye to see if surgery makes their dry eye better or worse.
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 dry eye symptoms change after cataract surgery. It is for older adults (50–90) having simple cataract surgery for the first time, without other eye problems or certain health conditions.
This trial compares two types of surgery for people with a retinal detachment who still have their natural lens (no prior cataract surgery). One group gets vitrectomy alone; the other gets vitrectomy plus the lens removed at the same time. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
