Stent implant for lowering eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a small stent to help drain fluid from the eye and lower pressure in people who have both open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. The stent is placed during routine cataract surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have open-angle glaucoma and cataracts that need surgery
- The drainage angle in your eye is open and not blocked
- You are willing to have regular follow-up visits after surgery

This trial studies a tiny implant called iStent Infinite that helps drain fluid from the eye to lower pressure in people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may offer a new way to manage the condition.
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 called MINIject S+ to lower eye pressure in people with open angle glaucoma that isn't well controlled with eye drops. It may be done alone or with cataract surgery.
This study looks at whether two types of tiny drainage stents (PreserFlo and XEN) work safely to lower eye pressure in glaucoma. Some patients will also receive an amniotic membrane (a thin tissue that helps healing) during the surgery, and researchers will compare outcomes.
This study enrolls people who have cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma that is being treated with eye drops. It will look at how well the Hydrus microstent works after approval, especially for lowering eye pressure safely.
This study tests a tiny implant (iStent inject W) that helps lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. A special contact lens sensor will monitor your eye pressure after surgery. The goal is to see how well the implant works and how it changes your eye pressure throughout the day.
