Glaucoma patients may soon ditch eye drops after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT07218796
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests a bimatoprost implant placed inside the eye during cataract surgery to lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. About 400 participants will receive either the implant with a special lens or standard eye drops. The goal is to see if the implant works as well as or better than daily drops.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bimatoprost implant
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a long-term, drop-free way to control eye pressure after cataract surgery for people with glaucoma.
What could go wrong
This is still in testing, so it may not work better than standard drops. There are also risks from the implant procedure itself, like infection or inflammation.
