NCT ID NCT07154797
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device that combines a bimatoprost implant with a special intraocular lens to treat both cataracts and glaucoma or high eye pressure. Twenty-four participants received the implant during cataract surgery. The main goals were to see if it lowers eye pressure and improves vision. Results showed it reduced eye pressure and the need for glaucoma drops.
