New eye gel aims to make cataract surgery safer
NCT ID NCT07279506
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new surgical gel, IXIUM TWIN, designed to protect the eye during cataract surgery. About 180 adults having cataract surgery will receive either the new gel or an approved one to see if it causes less damage to the eye's inner lining. The goal is to offer surgeons a safe, effective option for keeping the eye stable during the procedure.
