Cataract surgery with glaucoma drainage for open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years of age or older.
- You must have either primary open-angle glaucoma or primary angle-closure glaucoma that is not well controlled or is getting worse.
- You must have a cataract that affects your vision and requires surgery.
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits for at least 6 months after the surgery.
- You must not have had previous glaucoma surgery or certain laser treatments in the eye being studied.
- You must not have other eye conditions like corneal scarring, retinal disease, or optic nerve damage not caused by glaucoma.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
This trial looks at whether placing a small glaucoma implant at the same time as cataract surgery can better control eye pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. It may help reduce the need for medicines or improve control, depending on how your eyes respond.
This study compares two types of artificial lenses (IOLs) used during cataract surgery for people with mild to moderate glaucoma. It aims to see which lens provides better vision and patient satisfaction.
This trial compares standard cataract surgery alone versus cataract surgery plus a procedure to improve fluid drainage in the eye. It is intended for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma, to see if adding this step helps control eye pressure and preserve vision.
