Glaucoma surgery showdown: which procedure works best after cataract surgery?
NCT ID NCT07152132
First seen Nov 01, 2025
Summary
This study compares two surgical procedures—trabeculectomy with mitomycin C and slow coagulation trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation—for lowering eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma that is not controlled by medication. All participants are over 40 and have had cataract surgery. The trial will measure how much each surgery reduces eye pressure and how safe they are.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical procedure (trabeculectomy with mitomycin C or slow coagulation trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which surgery is safer and more effective at lowering eye pressure for glaucoma patients who have already had cataract surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Both surgeries carry risks like inflammation, infection, or vision changes.
