Filter by:The primary objective of this research is to compare the efficacy of trabecular minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices (iStent vs iStent Inject vs Hydrus) for intra ocular pressure (IOP) and anti-glaucoma medication reduction in open angle glaucoma.
A randomized controlled trial to evaluate which treatment protocol in selective laser trabeculoplasty that is most optimal in terms of efficacy and safety.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is characterized by the deposition of a distinctive fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye and was first described in 1917 by Lindberg. It is frequently associated with open angle glaucoma, known as pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, which is one of the most common identifiable forms of secondary open angle glaucoma worldwide. Despite extensive research, the exactchemical nature of the fibrillar material is unknown. It is believed to be secreted multifocally in the iris pigment epithelium, the ciliary epithelium, and the peripheral anterior lens epithelium.
There are several publications that have demonstrated the protective role of cataract surgery against the development of long-term glaucoma, especially in cases of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXFG). Cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) is a procedure with higher rates of complications due to its smaller pupillary diameter and its greater zonular weakness, so lens extraction performed earlier could possibly reduce intra and postoperative complications. Given the severity and high prevalence of PXFG in our environment, investigators proposed a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of cataract surgery in reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP) at 12 months and thereby change the course of the disease. The control group will have glaucoma treatment according to standard practice.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a single session of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) on cornea in eyes with primary open glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG).
To evaluate long-term intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) following cataract surgery using Visante anterior segment OCT and iTrace Visual Function Analyzer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how much trabeculectomy influences intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations measured with iCare Home rebound tonometry (RTHome) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma (PEX).
There is increasing evidence that there are genetic risk factors for several forms of glaucoma, such as glaucoma caused by pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) ,primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The aim of the present prospective, multi-center, case-control study is to identify susceptibility genes/loci for PXF, PACG and POAG using a whole genome association (WGA) approach.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how much selective trabeculoplasty (SLT) influences intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations measured with iCare Home rebound tonometry (RTHome) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma (PEX).
Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome Is a common disorder in Egypt. IT is one of the common causes of coexisting cataract and glaucoma. It may be associated with a less than normal endothelial count.
