Glaucoma showdown: which surgery works best?
NCT ID NCT07325552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical options—iStent inject and goniotomy with Kahook Dual Blade—performed during cataract surgery in 100 people with open-angle glaucoma. The goal is to see which method better lowers eye pressure and reduces the number of daily eye drops needed. Both procedures aim to improve fluid drainage in the eye.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
iStent inject (tiny implant) and Kahook Dual Blade (surgical device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which surgical approach better controls eye pressure and reduces the need for daily eye drops in glaucoma patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing two existing procedures, so results may not apply to all patients. Both surgeries carry risks like infection or temporary vision changes.
