Safety and effectiveness of a timolol eye implant for glaucoma patients having cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a sustained-release implant that delivers timolol, a medicine to lower eye pressure, for people with glaucoma or high eye pressure who are also having cataract surgery. The implant is placed during surgery and may provide long-term pressure control without daily eye drops.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure and need cataract surgery.
- You are in good general and mental health with no significant medical problems.
- Your cataract surgery is expected to be straightforward and successful.
- You are not allergic to beta-blockers (like timolol) and are not using other eye medicines that could interfere.
- You have no other serious eye diseases besides glaucoma, high eye pressure, or cataract.

This trial tests if a bimatoprost implant placed during cataract surgery (combined with a special lens) can lower eye pressure better than standard timolol eye drops. It may help people with mild to moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure who are already planning cataract surgery.
This trial tests a new implant that releases medicine for glaucoma while you have cataract surgery. It may help lower eye pressure without using daily drops.
This trial tests a tiny implant that slowly releases medication inside the eye to lower pressure. It is for people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure who have not had certain eye surgeries.
This trial tests a newer version of a tiny implant placed inside the eye to lower pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It may offer a treatment option that doesn't require daily eye drops.
This trial compares two types of glaucoma drainage devices (Baerveldt and Paul) in people whose glaucoma is not well controlled with eye drops. It aims to find which device works better at lowering eye pressure and is safer.
This trial tests a tiny implant called Preserflo to treat glaucoma (high eye pressure) that hasn't been controlled with eyedrops. The surgery aims to lower pressure safely while avoiding complications like pressure that drops too low.
