Filter by:A multicenter, parallel, open, non-inferior randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of phacotrabeculectomy and phacogoniotomy in the treatment of advanced primary angle closure glaucoma, so as to provide a better surgical alternative.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the ARGOS-SC system.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implanting 2 novel interposition supraciliary implant as a stand-alone therapy for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who have failed at least one class of topical medical therapy
This study will test whether the Support, Educate, Empower (SEE) personalized Glaucoma Coaching Program improves eye drop medication adherence among glaucoma patients compared to enhanced standard care in a randomized controlled clinical trial. As a secondary outcome, the study will test whether glaucoma related distress decreases among SEE program participants compared to the control group. The study hypothesis is that glaucoma patients with poor adherence who receive motivational-interviewing based counseling and personalized education from a trained non-physician glaucoma coach through the SEE Program will improve their medication adherence compared to glaucoma patients standard care enhanced by additional educational handouts.
Comparison of Efficacy and Ocular Surface Disease Assessment between BRIDIN-T Eye drops 0.15% and ALPHAGAN-P Eye drops 0.15% in Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertensive Patients : Phase 4, Parallel Group Design, Investigator-blind, Active-control, Randomized, Multi-center Trial
Study to evaluate the rate of clinically relevant complications associated with iStent inject placement in the post-market setting.
The study will assess safety and performance in patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by topical hypotensive medications who had previously been implanted with a MINIject glaucoma implant.
This single-center, prospective study will assess safety and effectiveness of 360 degree viscodilation followed by up to 360 degree trabeculotomy used in patients with early or moderate open-angle glaucoma in a real-world setting either as a standalone procedure in pseudophakic patients (or phakic) or combined with phacoemulsification cataract procedures. Medication usage, IOP and secondary surgical procedures necessary for IOP control will be analyzed during the follow-up period.
Glaucoma is a chronic degenerative disease of the optic nerve. It is the second cause of blindness worldwide and a frequent cause of irreversible blindness. In 2020, epidemic health authorities have predicted about 80 million glaucoma patients. Glaucoma can be treated by topical treatment (eye drops), laser or surgery. A premature diagnosis of glaucoma is very important to prevent irreversible blindness. Pachymetry, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and visual fields exams are fundamental for the development of the glaucoma diagnosis. The severity of glaucoma is defined with Hodapp-Parrish-Andersen visual field criteria. According to these criteria, glaucoma can be classified as early (with average visual field deviation, MD, of 0 to -6 dB), moderate (MD of -6 to -12 dB) and severe (MD worse than -12 dB). The progression of glaucoma is being identified by the visual fields tests, and also by the progression of alterations in the optic nerve head. The visual fields tests are long and difficult (30 minutes). It is therefore important to create additional tests and anticipate the diagnosis, in order to avoid the irreversibility of glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a blinding eye disease increasingly common in older adults, particularly in African Americans, and often diagnosed late in the disease course. It is essential to develop novel health care models, utilizing telemedicine, to improve the ability to detect glaucoma at an earlier stage, and to provide a platform to manage this disease in community-based clinics so that further vision loss is prevented. Our goal is to improve the quality and accessibility of glaucoma detection and management among a vulnerable and at-risk segment of our population.
