Glaucoma and cataract surgery with a new device
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma and need cataract surgery.
- Your vision is 20/40 or worse, meaning you have trouble seeing clearly.
- Your eye pressure before stopping glaucoma drops is 25 mmHg or lower, and after stopping drops it is between 22 and 30 mmHg (or you have a history of high pressure).

This study compares two different devices used during cataract surgery to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see which device works better and is safer.
This trial tests which of two micro-surgeries for glaucoma works better when you're also having cataract surgery. It may help you if you have both cataracts and glaucoma and take eye drops to control eye pressure.
This study combines cataract surgery with a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye, which may help lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. It aims to see if this combined approach is safe and effective for both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma.
This trial tests a single surgery to treat both glaucoma and cataracts at the same time. It is for people who have not had any prior glaucoma treatment and need cataract surgery.
This trial tests a surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
This trial compares two types of eye surgery—one that removes the cataract and opens blocked drainage channels, and another that creates a new drainage pathway. It aims to find which works better for people with both glaucoma and cataracts.
