Comparing glaucoma drainage devices during cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two different devices used during cataract surgery to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma. It aims to see which device works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have open-angle glaucoma (a common type where the eye's drainage channels are partly blocked).
- You are planning to have cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) along with a goniotomy procedure to help drain fluid.
- You do not have angle-closure glaucoma (a less common type where the iris blocks drainage).
- You have not had previous glaucoma surgery on the eye being treated.
- You can attend follow-up visits after the procedure.

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 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 compares a direct laser treatment to the standard laser for glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to see if the direct method is just as effective and possibly safer.
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 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 study combines cataract surgery with a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye, which may help lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. It aims to see if this combined approach is safe and effective for both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma.
