Scientists dive into eye fluids to unlock glaucoma secrets
NCT ID NCT07462000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at fluid and tissue samples from the eyes of people with glaucoma and cataracts, and compares them to samples from people with cataracts only. The goal is to find chemical and protein patterns that could help doctors diagnose or track glaucoma better in the future. About 40 adults scheduled for eye surgery will take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Scheduled for cataract surgery (phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation). * Ability to provide written informed consent. * For glaucoma arm: diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with coexisting cataract, and planned combined cataract surgery with glaucoma procedure. * For control arm: cataract without glaucoma and without other significant ocular pathology. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \< 18 years. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Advanced visual impairment in the study eye (visual aquity worse than counting fingers). * Any glaucoma type other than primary open-angle glaucoma (e.g., angle-closure, secondary, neovascular glaucoma). * History of intraocular surgery in the study eye (including glaucoma surgery), vitreoretinal surgery, corneal transplantation, or refractive surgery. * Active or previous uveitis. * Other significant chronic ocular disease in the study eye (other than cataract and POAG in the glaucoma arm). * Inability to comply with study procedures or follow-up visits.
