Glaucoma Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from the ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• You must be 18 years of age or older.
• You must be scheduled to have cataract surgery (a procedure to remove the cloudy lens in your eye and replace it with an artificial one).
• You must be able to read and sign a consent form agreeing to take part.
• If joining the glaucoma group: you must have been diagnosed with a specific type of glaucoma called primary open-angle glaucoma, also have a cataract, and be planned for a combined surgery that treats both conditions at once.
• If joining the comparison group: you must have a cataract but no glaucoma and no other serious eye conditions.

Who may not be able to join:

• You are under 18 years of age.
• You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Your vision in the eye being studied is severely reduced — worse than being able to count fingers held up in front of you.
• You have a type of glaucoma other than primary open-angle glaucoma (for example, angle-closure, secondary, or neovascular glaucoma).
• You have had a previous operation inside the eye being studied, including past glaucoma surgery, retinal surgery, corneal transplant, or laser vision correction surgery.
• You have had or currently have a condition called uveitis (inflammation inside the eye).
• You have another serious long-term eye disease in the eye being studied (beyond cataract, or glaucoma if you are in the glaucoma group).
• You are unable to attend follow-up appointments or complete the steps required by the study.

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
