Filter by:The investigators will test the hypothesis that images of the optic nerve head taken a 2 different eye pressures will yield strain estimates that are predictive of the course of glaucoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long term safety and effectiveness of the STREAMLINE® SURGICAL SYSTEM
Is to investigate retinal microvascular changes in primary open angle glaucoma patients using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.
The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of the weekly intraocular pressure change of the TFC-003 group and the dorzolamid/timolol combination group in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The goal of this electronic feasibility clinical trial study is to evaluate the effects of breathing and meditation techniques on stress levels in patients with glaucoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does breathing and meditation decrease the level of stress in glaucoma patients? - Does breathing and meditation improve disease specific quality of life in glaucoma patients - Does breathing and meditation affect the importance that in glaucoma patients place on future consequences? Participants will participate in online session where they will be taught proper breathing and meditation technique to practice. They will also be completing online questionnaires following independent practice sessions over time. Researchers will compare the breathing and meditation group to the usual care group to see if the outcomes are different.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate if intervention and education can change the behavior of someone's willingness to see an eye care provider to prevent blindness and glaucoma. The researchers are investigating if adding additional resources improves participant access to care.
Abundant evidence indicates that vision and eye health disparities exist due to a disproportionate eye disease burden among high-risk populations. Columbia University Department of Ophthalmology clinical researchers designed the New York City SIGHT Study (NYC-SIGHT-2) to evaluate Effectiveness of a Telehealth-Based Intervention to Detect and Manage Glaucoma Among High-Risk Populations in Community Health Settings in Upper Manhattan. The program begins with a telehealth-based eye health screening, optometric exam, eyeglasses, and referral to ophthalmology. The telehealth-based intervention uses patient navigators and peer ambassadors to improve eye care access, utilization, and adherence to in-office glaucoma evaluation appointment compared to Usual Care, while the study also explores the experiences of enrolled participants and program staff as well as cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, RP, diabetic retinopathy (DR) are the most common blinding eye diseases in the world. Vision and visual field are often severely impaired, quality of life is reduced, and personal and family burdens are heavy. This kind of low vision people, can use visual AIDS and other instruments for visual rehabilitation training, maximize the function of residual vision, improve the quality of life. Beyes, HOLA, Acesight and OXSIGHT are among the latest eyeglasses devices that are expected to improve the quality of life for people with low vision. This research group intends to recruit advanced patients with primary glaucoma, AMD, RP, DR and other common blinding eye diseases who visited Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2021 to December 2022 to study the changes of visual function and quality of life after wearing this new type of head-worn visual aids, and analyze relevant factors combined with clinical data. To evaluate the effect and influencing factors of the new head-mounted visual AIDS on patients, and provide theoretical basis for subsequent clinical research.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test Buyang Huanwu Decoction in normal intra-ocular pressure glaucoma. The main question to answer is: the effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction and its safety in patients with normal intra-ocular pressure glaucoma. Participants will take 3 grams of Buyang Huanwu Decoction or placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers will compare treatment group and placebo group to see if the visual acuity, visual field would be improved.
In this study, using three phases, the investigators will use an iterative development approach to refine a behavioral intervention for managing concomitant psychosocial distress in glaucoma. Phase 1: The investigators will begin by developing a baseline intervention using strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and delivered using a mobile application. Phase 2: The investigators will refine the baseline intervention for glaucoma patients using qualitative interviews conducted with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with psychosocial distress (N=20), and health professionals (N=5). Phase 3: Finally, the investigators will measure acceptability and feasibility of the refined intervention through a single-armed pilot study (N=25). The investigators hypothesize that the refined intervention will yield an acceptable and feasible intervention in a POAG patient population, setting the stage for a future efficacy study.
