First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether giving mannitol (a sugar solution) through a vein before cataract surgery improves eye pressure and the depth of the front chamber of the eye. Sixty adults aged 30-80 who were having cataract surgery took part. Half received mannitol and half received a placebo, and the researchers compared changes in eye measurements and complications.
