Eye implant with cataract surgery vs. cataract surgery alone
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests if a tiny implant called iDose® TR, placed during cataract surgery, can better control eye pressure in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure compared to cataract surgery alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have cataracts that are ready for surgery in one eye.
- You must have open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure in that eye.
- Your eye should not have active inflammation or swelling of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye).
- You should not have other serious eye problems linked to the retina (the part of the eye that senses light).

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.
This trial tests a tiny implant that slowly releases travoprost (a pressure-lowering medicine) inside the eye, combined with a small stent (iStent) to help drain fluid. It's for people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure who need to lower their eye pressure.
This trial looks at whether placing a small glaucoma implant at the same time as cataract surgery can better control eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help reduce the need for medicines or improve control, depending on how your eyes respond.
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
This trial tests a sustained-release implant that delivers timolol, a medicine to lower eye pressure, for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure who are also having cataract surgery. The implant is placed during surgery and may provide long-term pressure control without daily eye drops.
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.
