Eye changes after numbing shots for cataract surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses OCT scans to see how the eye's blood vessels change after local anesthesia for cataract surgery. It may help understand if the numbing medicine affects the back of the eye.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You are having cataract surgery with a numbing shot around the eye.

This study looks at whether removing cataracts through a common surgery can help patients feel more comfortable and use fewer eye drops or other medications. It is for people who need cataract surgery in both eyes and have no other major eye problems.
This trial compares different additives mixed with lidocaine (a numbing medicine) to improve how well the numbness works during eye surgery on the retina. The goal is to find the best combination to keep you comfortable during your procedure.
This study compares two ways to prevent complications after cataract surgery. One group gets a special combination of eye drops and a steroid injection before surgery, and the other group gets standard care. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer problems after surgery.
This study looks at how dry eye symptoms change after cataract surgery. It is for older adults (50–90) having simple cataract surgery for the first time, without other eye problems or certain health conditions.
This study uses very specific eye measurements done before cataract surgery to see how they relate to the clarity of vision after surgery. It may help surgeons choose the best surgical approach and improve visual outcomes.
This study measures how dry eyes get after cataract surgery. It may help patients know what to expect after their operation.
