Comparing two surgeries for glaucoma with cataract
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 40 years old or older
- You have glaucoma with optic nerve damage and vision loss
- Your eye pressure is above 21 even with medication
- You have a cataract (grade 1 to 3)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 new surgical technique called Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy combined with cataract removal in patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma—a condition where fluid pressure builds up in the eye because drainage channels are blocked. The goal is to lower eye pressure and help preserve vision.
This study looks at people with a type of narrow-angle glaucoma who are having cataract surgery combined with a procedure to open the eye's drainage area. It aims to see if doctors can predict a complication called partial ciliary block, which can cause high eye pressure after surgery.
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 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.
This trial studies a new tube-shunt surgery (SCTSC) against the standard trabeculectomy for people with open-angle glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops. It is only for people who have already had cataract surgery.
