Testing a new cannula for glaucoma-cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special cannula can help protect the eye during combined surgery for pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (a type of glaucoma with flaky deposits) and cataracts. It may offer better results than standard irrigation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have both cataracts and early-to-moderate pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.
- Your eye pressure is between 21 and 33 mmHg (without medication) and your eye's drainage angle is open.
- You have typical signs of glaucoma on visual field and OCT tests, with mild to moderate vision loss.
- You have not had eye surgery (including laser) in the last 12 months, and no other eye diseases except mild dry eye.
- Your vision is better than counting fingers, and you are not severely nearsighted or farsighted.
- You have not had serious health problems that could affect study participation.

This trial tests a newer, gentler cataract surgery method in people who have both glaucoma and cataracts. It aims to lower eye pressure safely during the procedure.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery for people with mild to moderate glaucoma. It aims to see which lens provides better vision and patient satisfaction.
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 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 study tests a new quick procedure called trabeculopuncture to see if it can predict whether a more involved glaucoma surgery (ab interno trabeculectomy) will work for you. If you have a specific type of glaucoma, high eye pressure despite drops, and need cataract surgery, this trial might help lower your pressure and reduce 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.
