Eye fluid study in diabetes and cataract patients
Part of Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at two proteins (DEL-1 and IL-17) in the fluid inside the eye of people with diabetes who are having cataract surgery. It aims to understand how these proteins might be linked to eye health in diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a cataract and are scheduled for cataract surgery.
- You have no other eye problems besides the cataract.
- You have had type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years (if you are in the diabetic group).
- You have not had any previous eye surgery.
- You do not have inflammatory eye diseases like uveitis.
- You are not taking steroid medications (either as eye drops or by mouth).

This study looks for biomarkers in eye fluid and images to predict how diabetic retinopathy progresses. It compares people with diabetes at different stages, healthy controls, and people with a non-diabetic eye condition called epiretinal membrane.
This study tests a new approach aimed at improving diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy). It may help by changing inflammation and related processes in the eye, especially in people who have diabetes and eye changes.
This trial measures eye fluid flow during cataract or glaucoma surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and improve surgery results.
This study collects eye fluid and tissue samples during planned cataract or combined cataract-glaucoma surgery to analyze differences between people with and without glaucoma. It may help researchers understand eye disease better.
This trial looks at the connection between dry eye disease and diabetic macular edema (swelling in the back of the eye caused by diabetes). If you have had diabetes for more than 8 years, this study may help understand if dry eye issues are linked to your eye health.
This study looks for specific eye findings (“biomarkers”) in people with type 2 diabetes using eye imaging. It may help researchers better understand diabetic retinopathy and how to detect it earlier or more accurately.
