Filter by:Color Doppler Imaging (CDI) has been providing information about ocular blood flow over the past decades. This non-invasive procedure based on ultrasound technique has identified increased resistance and decreased systolic blood velocities to exist in the ophthalmic arteries of glaucoma patients. However, existing data has provided very little information regarding the analysis of the Doppler waveform in itself and to whether variables such as early systolic acceleration or systolic/diastolic velocity ratios are of any significance in glaucoma disease. In other medical specialties using CDI technology, such as nephrology or cardiology for instance, this analysis has been part of the normal routine. This information has been used in screening patients for disturbed circulation such as arterial stenosis or providing information regarding prognosis of renal and hepatic transplants have been used for decades now. What is the normal characteristics of the waveform Doppler analysis? To answer this, the investigators will create a normative database using healthy controls. Are there signs of altered stiffness or compliance in the ophthalmic arteries of glaucoma patients? To answer this, the analysis of early acceleration acceleration and detection of an early peak systolic will be done on the Doppler curves of glaucoma patients and compared to the healthy normative database. Are there any difference between the two types of glaucoma [primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG)]? The investigators will compare the variables of the ophthalmic artery waveform in these two groups. Do any of these Doppler waveform variables have any clinical significance? To answer this, the investigators will search for the existence of any correlation between the waveform data and both functional (visual field testing) and structural (Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy - CSLO) variables of the glaucoma groups.
The purpose of this study was to assess the pigmentation in the trabecular meshwork of patients who had been treated for at least 2 years with TRAVATAN compared with patients without exposure (or less than 1 month) to a prostaglandin analogue (PGA).
The purpose of this study is to determine which medical, demographic, and health belief factors are associated with glaucoma therapy compliance.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of plug placement on the efficacy, safety and duration of effect of the L-PPDS (latanoprost punctal plug delivery system).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and duration of the L-PPDS (latanoprost punctal plug delivery system) at different dose levels.
The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy and tolerability of travoprost 0.004% vs. bimatoprost 0.01% during the after office hour period (4 pm to 8 pm) in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension after 6 weeks of treatment.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Glaukos Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent Model GTS400 using the G2-M-IS injector system in conjunction with cataract surgery vs. cataract surgery only, in subjects with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Glaukos® Suprachoroidal Stent Model G3 in conjunction with cataract surgery, compared to cataract surgery only, in subjects with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma.
Evaluation in the eyes of subjects with one prior trabeculectomy on one to three ocular hypotensive medications of the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of two iStent stents in combination with one iStent supra stent and a postoperative prostaglandin.
Evaluation of intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of one iStent versus two iStents in conjunction with cataract surgery in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma, washed out of one anti-glaucoma medication prior to stent implantation.
