Steroid injection for diabetic retinopathy with cataract surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests if an injection of dexamethasone (a steroid) into the eye, before or during cataract surgery, can help treat mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy in people with type 2 diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes.
- You have cataracts and are scheduled for cataract surgery.
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests combining vitrectomy (surgery to remove the membrane from the retina) with a dexamethasone implant (a tiny steroid that is placed inside the eye to reduce swelling) for people with a specific type of eye membrane and fluid buildup in the center of the retina.
This trial studies whether DEXYCU is safe to use to reduce eye inflammation after cataract surgery in children. It aims to see if the medicine’s side effects are acceptable and whether it helps during normal recovery.
This trial tests if combining a steroid implant (dexamethasone) with an anti-VEGF injection (aflibercept) works better than aflibercept alone for people with diabetic macular edema caused by inflammation. It aims to find the best first treatment for improving vision and reducing swelling.
This trial looks at which long-acting steroid implant works better for diabetic macular swelling that did not improve enough with past treatments. It may help patients by testing a treatment option aimed at improving vision when other eye injections have not worked well.
This study compares two different eye injection treatments for diabetic macular edema (DME)—a condition where fluid builds up in the center of the retina, blurring vision. Researchers want to see how certain measures in the blood and in eye scans relate to how well each treatment works.
This study tests a special contact lens that slowly delivers anti-inflammatory/steroid medicine to the back of the eye. It aims to treat cystoid macular edema that keeps coming back and may improve vision for people who respond to steroid treatment.
