First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding pilocarpine eye drops after combined cataract and Kahook Dual Blade surgery helps lower eye pressure more than standard drops alone. About 142 adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure will take part. The goal is to see if more patients achieve a 20% or greater reduction in eye pressure with pilocarpine.
What this could mean

Active substance
Pilocarpine eye drops
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding pilocarpine after surgery helps lower eye pressure better than standard care alone.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 142 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pilocarpine can cause side effects like blurred vision or eye irritation.
