Filter by:This attempts to investigate the perceptions of Greek Ophthalmologists regarding generics prescription in glaucoma by means of a structured questionnaire.
The study will evaluate patients diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are switched to Lumigan® UD monotherapy for medical reasons in accordance with physician standard clinical practice. All treatment decisions lie with the physician.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how OTX-TP, a sustained release travoprost drug product, when placed in the canaliculus of the eyelid compares to timolol drops for the lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Approximately 70 million people world-wide are affected with glaucoma, of whom 6.7 million have bilateral blindness.5 Elevated intro-ocular pressure is the major modifiable risk factor in glaucoma, and reducing intraocular pressure to a consistently low level can delay disease progression and therefore, blindness.6 Topical intraocular pressure -lowering medication remains the first-line treatment for glaucoma, with surgical intervention playing a secondary role in cases suboptimally controlled with medication alone. In this study, we plan to assess the change in tear proteins in trabeculectomy patients before and after operations. It is hoped that this study could help us gain more understanding of the possible mechanism accounting for the development of dry eye disease in glaucoma patients, which could help us develop better screening modalities and therapeutic agents for glaucoma patients at risk to prevent the development of dry eye disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety of the Glaukos® iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent Model GTS100 in conjunction with cataract surgery vs. cataract surgery only, in subjects with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, whose treatment - intraocular pressure lowering - is only partially effective in preventing disease progression. Accordingly, other variables, such as ocular blood flow-related factors, have been implicated in disease pathogenesis. However, most findings involving vascular variables come from partial, small-scale studies. Furthermore, recent technological advances have identified a number of ocular blood flow variables that have yet to be tested in large scale trials. Therefore, a study that specifically aims at uncovering the role of vascular aspects in glaucoma is needed. For this purpose, a cross-sectional, observational case-control study will be conducted in the University Hospitals Leuven. This will be the largest-yet study on the subject, involving more than 750 patients. This will allow the creation of a specific cohort of patients where the vascular aspects are thought to be particularly important (low-tension glaucoma). It will use the largest combination yet of vascular-related measuring techniques (dynamic contour tonometry, optic coherent tomography, colour Doppler imaging and retinal oximetry)
This safety study will evaluate bimatoprost 0.01% and 0.03% in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT).
The purpose of this study is to investigate how the intraocular pressure (IOP) varies in time and if the IOP variations are associated with the worsening of glaucoma. IOP patterns will be recorded continuously over 24 hours with SENSIMED Triggerfish® (TF) a portable investigational device using a contact lens sensor. After completing the Triggerfish lens placement and removal; the patient will complete a formal Polysomnography.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the Hydrus Implant to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery.
