One shot to soothe: new injection may replace eye drops after cataract surgery
NCT ID NCT06497699
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a single injection of dexamethasone (Dexycu) given during cataract surgery to control eye inflammation. Researchers compared 263 patients who received the injection to an external control group. The main goal was to see how many patients had no signs of inflammation (anterior chamber cells) 8 days after surgery. The approach aims to simplify post-surgery care by replacing multiple eye drops with one injection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
dexamethasone injection (Dexycu)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm a convenient single-injection option to manage post-surgery eye inflammation, reducing the need for eye drops.
What could go wrong
This is a real-world study, not a blinded trial, so results may be less reliable. Inflammation control may not be better than standard care, and side effects like increased eye pressure are possible.
