Filter by:The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of changing to DUOTRAV® from prior bimatoprost 0.03%/timolol 0.5% pharmacotherapy in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension having uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP).
The purpose of this investigation is to study the safety and tolerability of SENSIMED Triggerfish, a soft contact lens-based device intended to continuously record relative changes in intraocular pressure (IOP). The investigation enrols glaucoma patients and glaucoma suspects. All subjects receive two 24-hour recording sessions with the device in an ambulatory setting and at weekly interval. The level of discomfort in the study eye after 24 hours and side effects are the main endpoints of the investigation.
The purpose of the investigation is to investigate the relationship between the study device output and tonometric assessments.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of FDA-approved Travoprost (Travatan Z) and Latanoprost (Xalatan)as anti-glaucoma treatment. Several studies indicate that glaucoma medications may be associated with decreased tear production and tear film break-up time (TBUT), and increased inflammatory cells in the conjunctiva (membrane lining of the eye lids and the covering of the eye) leading to dry eye. Normal tear film (coating of the eye) is continuous and blinking maintains the tear film continuity. If you keep your eyes open long enough without blinking, the tear film will start breaking up. Your eye will feel uncomfortable forcing you to blink. In patients with dry eyes, the tear film is unstable, and breaks up faster. Therefore the tear break up time in patients who have dry eyes is shorter. In this study, the investigators will be comparing the two previously mentioned FDA-approved eye drops Latanoprost and Travoprost. The difference between the two medications is a preservative called benzalkonium chloride (BAK). Latanoprost contains BAK while Travoprost does not. The investigators will be comparing the efficacy of each medication in lowering IOP as well as trying to track the density of immune cells across the corneal surface by taking photos of your eye. The investigators will also be assessing whether either drop leads to symptoms of dry eye by comparing results from ocular surface exam tests such as TBUT.
Ocular rigidity characterizes the relationship between pressure and volume changes in the human eye and is expressed as a macroscopic coefficient. Outflow facility is a measure of the resistance of the conventional outflow pathway and represents a parameter that is of interest in glaucoma. Difficulties in the measurement of ocular rigidity in the living human eye have limited our knowledge on this parameter. However, ocular biomechanics have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease. The aim of this study is to characterize the pressure volume relation and quantify ocular rigidity and outflow facility in glaucomatous and normal eyes. For this purpose, the investigators have recently developed a manometric method for the measurement of ocular rigidity and outflow facility.
The specific aims of the clinical studies are to: 1. Predict the development of glaucomatous visual field (VF) abnormality in glaucoma suspects and pre-perimetric glaucoma patients based on anatomic abnormalities detected by advanced imaging. 2. Predict the development of glaucomatous VF abnormality in glaucoma suspects and pre-perimetric glaucoma patients based on anatomic changes detected between successive advanced imaging tests. 3. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of glaucoma diagnosis based on advanced imaging tests.
Study clinical multicenter, phase III, open-label, prospective character to evaluate the efficacy and safety Susanna Implant in patients with refractory glaucoma.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Brinzolamide/Brimonidine in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) relative to each of its individual active components in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab as an adjunctive treatment to trabeculectomy in open angle glaucoma patients and to compare this new drug to the most commonly used anti-scarring agent, mitomycin C.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Brinzolamide/Brimonidine fixed combination in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) relative to each of its individual active constituents instilled concomitantly (Brinzolamide+Brimonidine) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
