This study is testing a small, slow-release implant placed in the eye during routine cataract surgery. It aims to lower eye pressure in people with mild to moderate glaucoma or high eye pressure. The implant is being compared to standard daily eye drops to see if it is as safe an…

This study is testing whether implanting a small support ring during cataract surgery helps keep the new artificial lens in the correct position for patients who also have retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Each of the 88 participants will have the ring placed in one eye during surgery, …

This study is testing a new machine used during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see if this new system causes less damage to the delicate cells lining the inside of the eye and makes the surgery faster. They will follow 50 patients for three months after their surgery to me…

This study is testing a tiny implant placed inside the eye to see if it can safely slow down the worsening of cataracts in people who have had vitrectomy surgery. It will involve about 30 patients who already have some cataract and are scheduled for this specific eye procedure. R…

This study aims to monitor the long-term safety of a specific type of artificial lens (IC-8 Apthera IOL) used in cataract surgery. It focuses on patients who have developed a common, cloudy side effect after lens implantation and have received a standard laser treatment to clear …

This study aims to compare the efficiency of two different eye surgery systems (UNITY VCS and CONSTELLATION) during combined cataract and retina procedures. It will enroll 180 participants in the UK who are already scheduled for this specific type of surgery. The main goal is to …

This study is observing how well a specific new lens (the Clareon PanOptix Pro) works for cataract surgery in people who previously had LASIK or PRK to correct nearsightedness. Researchers will track 40 patients' vision at near, intermediate, and far distances for 3 months after …

This early-stage study is testing the safety of an experimental injection called EO2002 given during cataract surgery. The goal is to see if it can safely help protect the delicate inner layer of the cornea from damage that sometimes occurs after surgery. The study involves 32 ad…

This study is testing a new 3D imaging system that gives eye surgeons a live, detailed view inside the eye during surgery. The goal is to see if this technology helps surgeons perform delicate procedures more precisely and safely. The study is enrolling patients undergoing variou…

This study is comparing two new types of lens implants used during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which lens helps patients see better at various distances—far, intermediate, and near—and reduces their need for glasses after surgery. The study will enroll 80 adults age…

This study is comparing two types of advanced lens implants used during cataract surgery. The lenses are designed to improve vision at near, intermediate, and far distances while also correcting astigmatism, with the goal of reducing dependence on glasses. Researchers will measur…

This study is comparing two new types of artificial lenses used in cataract surgery. The goal is to see which lens helps people see better at all distances—far away, at arm's length, and up close—for activities like driving and reading. Researchers will enroll 100 patients gettin…

This study is testing whether keeping lower pressure inside the eye during cataract surgery leads to fewer side effects and better vision recovery. Researchers will compare two FDA-approved surgical systems, using lower pressure in one eye and traditional higher pressure in the o…

This study is testing if watching a short educational video before cataract surgery can help patients feel less anxious and better understand their own care. About 118 patients will be randomly assigned to either watch the video or receive standard instructions. Researchers will …

This study aims to compare how well three different types of astigmatism-correcting lenses stay in their intended position after cataract surgery. Researchers will follow 400 adults who receive one of these lenses to see which design is most stable over time. The goal is to help …

This study tests three artificial intelligence systems (ChatGPT 4o, GPT-5, and DeepSeek) to see how well they can interpret eye measurement reports and predict outcomes for cataract surgery. Researchers are using past patient data from 54 people to compare the AI's accuracy in re…

This study aims to better understand how fluid pressure changes inside the eye during cataract or glaucoma surgery. Researchers will measure this pressure in 150 patients during their operation to see if it can help predict recovery and prevent complications. The goal is to gathe…

This study creates a patient registry to compare how well different lens implants work after cataract surgery. Researchers will follow 300 patients for up to 5 years, tracking their vision quality, need for glasses, and any complications. The goal is to gather real-world data to …

This study aims to collect detailed eye measurements from people with cataracts using a new device called Unity DX. It will enroll 400 participants across India, Spain, and the Philippines to gather data that may help improve future cataract treatments. The study does not test a …

This study is testing whether using an Apple Vision Pro headset helps surgeons and operating room staff during cataract and other eye surgeries. Researchers want to see if the headset is safe to use, if it makes surgery easier or harder for the team, and if it affects how long th…

This study aims to understand if different types of lasers used in cataract and vision correction surgery affect how quickly and well the eye heals. Researchers will measure signs of inflammation and stress in the eye fluid and tears of 1,000 patients after surgery. The goal is t…
