Filter by:Glaucoma represents a group of conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve and can lead to irreversible vision loss. Current treatments are aimed at lowering intraocular pressure while minimizing medication side effects. Lumify™ (Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.025%) is an FDA-approved medication for alleviating eye redness, a common side effect of glaucoma medications. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Lumify™ on eye redness, intraocular pressure, and eyelid position in patients with glaucoma who are already using the Brimonidine 0.1%, 0.15% or 0.2% eye drops.
Combined cataract + trabectome surgery is a surgery designed to help lower the intraocular pressure (pressure in the eye) and hopefully reduce the need for topical drops, progression of glaucoma, and/or further glaucoma surgeries. The purpose of this study is to assess whether using pilocarpine, a medication which is FDA approved to induce miosis, (in other words cause the pupil to constrict or become smaller) provides additional benefit to the success of Trabectome and cataract surgery.
A 24 hour profile is recorded using Sensimed Triggerfish in glaucoma patients before and after Trabecuelctomy
Study to assess safety and performance of MINIject SO627 in patients with open angle glaucoma.
Early glaucomatous visual field changes can be missed with the routinely used Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP) and the 24-2 test pattern due to limited sampling of the central 10 degrees. While this shortcoming can be overcome with the addition of a 10-2 test, performing both tests places extra demand on the perimetric services (doubling test times) and patients. Smart Supra Perimetry (SSP) uses a new faster algorithm that can complete both 24-2 and 10-2 test patterns in a similar time frame to a single 24-2 SAP test. This comparative study aims to determine the sensitivity and specificity (i.e. diagnostic accuracy) of SSP in identifying early glaucomatous visual field loss. A sample of 100 patients with early/suspect glaucoma will undergo SAP 24-2 and 10-2 (SITA algorithm) using Humphrey visual field perimetry and SSP 24+10-2 using Henson 9000. Eyes will be categorised into 2 groups i.e., glaucoma and non-glaucoma, on the basis of structural changes to the disc as evaluated by the clinician. The sensitivity and specificity of the SAP and SSP tests will be established along with test duration. The size and location of defects established with both the SAP and SSP strategies will also be compared.
Correct measurement of the intraocular pressure of children with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma is essential for diagnosis and therapy. Despite new non-invasive measurement methods most of the children are uncooperative during the ophthalmological examination. Therefore examination under anaesthesia is needed. A lot of perioperative factors influence the measurement of intraocular pressure. Established and safe anaesthetic regimes have been modified regarding these factors. Aim of the study is to evaluate, if a standardized anaesthetic protocol generates reliable and reproducible measured values.
Glaucoma is a disease with irreversible loss of visual field and optic neuropathy and is the most important cause of irreversible vision loss after cataract in the world. Although clinical evaluations reveal the level of glaucoma quantitatively, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of this pathology on daily functions and quality of life with a holistic perspective and to provide appropriate advice to patients according to the information obtained. Glaucoma Quality of Life -15 Questionnaire (GQoL-15) was developed by Nelson et al. in 2003 to evaluate the quality of life of glaucoma patients. The aim of this study is to translate GQoL-15 into Turkish and evaluate its test-retest reliability for Turkish-speaking population.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide that is a chronic public health problem. Unfortunately, glaucoma can be diagnosed when the disease reaches a certain level in today's conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic methods that can diagnose glaucoma before it reaches the advanced level and to identify pathophysiological processes. In this study, choroidal thickness was investigated in primary open-angle glaucoma cases and its correlations with OCT and multifocal ERG parameters were evaluated.
