Filter by:A test that was common in the 1960's and was used to detect primary open angle glaucoma was the water drinking test (patients drank 1 quart of water to stress the fluid drainage mechanism of the eyes. Intraocular pressure was then measured over the next hour). Recently this test has been demonstrated as a predictor of peak eye pressure during the day. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of the water drinking test between eyes that have undergone trabeculectomy and eyes that have undergone tube shunt surgery.
The study will evaluate patients diagnosed with POAG or OHT who are switched to GANFORT® UD (unit dose of fixed combination bimatoprost and timolol) therapy for medical reasons in accordance with physician standard clinical practice. All treatment decisions lie with the physician.
The purpose of this study is to investigate IOP reduction efficacy of travoprost 0.004% ophthalmic solution (TRAVATAN Z®) in subjects with normal tension glaucoma.
Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) has been identified as the most important risk factor for the development and the progression of glaucoma. Data from large interventional studies have shown that a decrease of IOP is associated with a reduced risk of progression of the disease. This underlines the importance of a potent and save IOP lowering therapy. The introduction of preservative free tafluprost offers a new treatment possibility using a potent topical prostaglandin analogue without the disadvantages of a co-administered preservative. The current study seeks to investigate the effect of an 8 week therapy with preservative free tafluprost on intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or primary open angle glaucoma having an IOP of 30 mmHg or more.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) over a 24-hour period using Simbrinza™ topical ophthalmic suspension.
Bimatoprost 0.03% preservative free monodose eye drops solution (BUDPF) is a new product composed of a synthetic prostamide, bimatoprost 0.3% in a preservative free formulation. This new product is used as a once-daily topical ocular therapy for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma, or ocular hypertension, and that are sensitive to preservatives. The individual active component of BUDPF, bimatoprost is an established therapeutic agent with well documented IOP efficacy (1). Prostamides, such as bimatoprost, are believed to lower IOP mainly by increasing uveoscleral outflow. The comparator, Preservative Free Latanoprost 0.005% Unit Dose (LUDPF, eg. Monoprost®), was recently launched in a number of countries in Europe and contains latanoprost in a new preservative free formulation. It is clinically important to compare these newly entered preservative free products with respect to tolerability and efficacy. A better tolerability combined with maximum efficacy will reduce the burden of daily glaucoma therapy and provide a clear therapeutic benefit to the glaucoma patient by providing enhanced compliance and real-world IOP-lowering efficacy. The hypothesis of the study is that monodose bimatoprost is more effective than monodose latanoprost by at least 1 mmHg. (AIBILI applied for an unrestricted grant from Allergan to perform this study)
This study will assess any side effects that may occur when QPI-1007 is injected into the eye in subjects with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma, as well as how long it takes for the body to clear the drug. This study will also test whether QPI-1007, injected into the eye, helps prevent both structural damage of the nerve tissue in the eye and the loss of visual function in subjects with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new laser (called Micropulse Laser Trabeculoplasty or MLT) in the treatment of glaucoma compared to the conventional laser presently used which is called selective laser trabeculoplasty or SLT. Both lasers (SLT and MLT) are used as standard of care in the treatment of open angle glaucoma.
The objective of this Phase 1 study is to evaluate the VISION5 Product's safety and efficacy.
This study investigates the effect of eye opening/closure on the quality of IOP (intraocular pressure) related patterns recorded with SENSIMED Triggerfish. Each subject receives 2 24-hour recording sessions, one with the recorded eye open and the other with the eye closed,using an ophthalmic patch.
