Cataracts clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Cataract Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) Feasibility Pilot Study
open to eligible people ages 65 years and up
The goal of this pilot clinical trial comparing two different sedation approaches for cataract surgery is to assess patient satisfaction, the quality of recovery, and surgical outcomes as well as to evaluate the overall feasibility and acceptability of the study protocol for the purpose of planning a larger clinical trial. Participants will be asked to respond to several surveys throughout the study on their experience and to assess outcomes of interest.

Dropless Postoperative Regimen After Cataract Surgery in a Vulnerable, County-hospital Population
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The current postoperative cataract surgery eye drop regimen used at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is a significant burden for its patient population, contributing to high rates of non-adherence and the development of postoperative complications. The investigators propose to replace this complex regimen with a single administration of intraocular antibiotic and subconjunctival steroid at the time of surgery. This pilot study will obtain the preliminary data required to eventually fully evaluate this innovation in postoperative care in a safety-net population with respect to postoperative outcomes, patient compliance, and patient and caregiver satisfaction.
