Predicting eye pressure complications after cataract surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a type of narrow-angle glaucoma who are having cataract surgery combined with a procedure to open the eye's drainage area. It aims to see if doctors can predict a complication called partial ciliary block, which can cause high eye pressure after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have narrow-angle glaucoma (or are at high risk for it) in one or both eyes.
- You are scheduled for cataract surgery with lens replacement and a procedure to open the eye's drain.
- Your eye pressure is not well controlled, or you have a significant cataract.
- You can have imaging tests of your eye before surgery, like ultrasound or OCT.
- You have not had prior eye surgery (except laser iridotomy).
- You do not have certain eye conditions that cause secondary angle closure or other lens problems.

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.
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 examines how proteins in the eye lens support structures change in patients with angle-closure glaucoma. Researchers will compare these proteins in people with glaucoma who have loose or normal support structures during surgery, and in people without glaucoma having cataract surgery.
This research study uses ultrasound imaging to examine the internal structures of the eye in people with angle-closure glaucoma (a type of increased eye pressure) and compares them to healthy eyes. Understanding these structures may help doctors better diagnose and treat this eye condition.
This trial tests a new surgical technique called Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy combined with cataract removal in patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma—a condition where fluid pressure builds up in the eye because drainage channels are blocked. The goal is to lower eye pressure and help preserve vision.
This study looks at how your eye's drainage angle changes after glaucoma surgery. It helps doctors understand what happens to the front part of your eye after procedures like laser or surgery to open the drainage area.
