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

- You are 40 years or older.
- You have open-angle glaucoma that is not controlled by at least 2 different eye drops.
- You have had cataract surgery with a lens implant.
- Your visual field test shows vision loss outside the very center of your vision.

This study tests a new surgery that combines cataract removal with a glaucoma procedure to lower eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It's for people whose eye pressure is controlled with 1 to 4 medications but who also have significant cataracts.
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.
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 study tests a new tube-based surgery to lower eye pressure in people with advanced or difficult-to-treat open-angle glaucoma. The goal is to see if this surgery works better than standard care for controlling pressure and preserving vision.
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 compares two types of glaucoma surgery to see which one works better for people with specific kinds of open-angle glaucoma whose eye pressure isn't controlled by eye drops or laser.
