Glaucoma surgery study for people with cataracts
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older.
- You either need cataract surgery or had it at least 6 months ago.
- You have mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (a common type of glaucoma).
- Your eye pressure is between 16 and 33 mmHg, even if you take 1 to 4 eye drops for it.
- You haven't had certain eye surgeries or laser treatments recently (within the last 6–12 months depending on the procedure).

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 study tests how well a specific glaucoma surgery (canaloplasty) works on its own for people with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help if drops (eye medicines) do not work well for you or you need fewer eye drops.
This trial compares standard cataract surgery alone versus cataract surgery plus a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye. It is intended for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma, to see if adding this step helps control eye pressure and preserve vision.
This study tests a new minimally-invasive surgery called MIMS to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled even with multiple eye drop medications. The surgery makes a tiny opening to help fluid drain and reduce pressure in the eye.
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 looks at how well certain surgical systems work when combined with cataract surgery and a glaucoma procedure. It may help people with glaucoma who need fewer medications after surgery.
