Filter by:This study aim to determine the feasibility of using a virtual reality (VR) headset (HTC Vive) to test the visual field. The VR headset test will be compared to a conventional visual field test, using the Humphrey Field Analyzer. The investigators will include 10 healthy patients without visual field defect, 10 patients with early glaucomatous visual field defect, and 10 patients with advanced visual field defect. Each patient will perform the conventional test twice and the VR headset test 4 times, divided in 3 visits within a 2 month period. The results of the tests (sensitivity thresholds) will be compared. The investigators hypothesize that the results of the conventional and VR tests will be similar.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a 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
Glaucoma is a blinding optic neuropathy that affects 60 million people around the world. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common etiology. The therapeutic arsenal now includes medicated hypotonic treatments, lasers and surgery. The most common glaucoma surgery in France is trabeculectomy and non-perforating deep sclerectomy. These are two filtering surgeries whose principle is to lower the intraocular pressure by creating a way of evacuation of the aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye to the space sub conjunctival creating a bubble of filtration. The short-term complications with these techniques are early hypotonia and its attendant complications (choroidal detachment, maculopathy of hypotonia, haemorrhage...). In the medium term, blood pressure with deep anterior chamber, testify to a scleral flap too tight which may require suture lysis. Finally, the problems of excessive conjunctivo-tenon healing affect 25 to 30% of operated and are responsible for the majority of late blood pressure. In the longer term, the most common complication is cataracts. It can be complicated by a very serious endophthalmitis. A new minimally invasive therapeutic option has been developed that limits per and postoperative complications. In contrast to traditional techniques that have an ab externo approach, the ab interno approach of the proposed new technique involves the implantation of a collagen tube 6 mm in length and 45 μm of light called Xen® through the anterior chamber. This surgery can be performed alone or at the same time as a cataract surgery. The geometry of the Xen® implant has been studied to prevent major hypotonia. This new technique would also avoid the complications associated with conjunctival dissection, while being faster. A Xen® implant is nowadays indicated for simple surgery or combined with cataract surgery for open-angle, early-to-moderate, cataract and non-cataract glaucoma, progressive and unbalanced under local hypotonism therapy. Since June 2017, the Xen® technique is part of the routine at GhPSJ.
The Gonioscope GS-1 is an ophthalmic camera with gonioscopic prism that is intended to capture, display and store images of the anterior chamber angle and its peripheral part. This study evaluates the efficiency of Gonioscope GS-1 in glaucoma patients.With the captured images, the glaucoma diagnosis and post-operative observation are enabled.
Santen will evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect and efficacy of DE-117 ophthalmic solution 0.002% in latanoprost low/non-responder subjects diagnosed with POAG or OHT
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. The current study is designed to find the underlying relationship between impairment of topological perception and incidence of glaucoma.
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-masked, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study. Subjects diagnosed with glaucoma or OHT who meet eligibility criteria at Visit 1 (Screening) will washout of their current topical IOP-lowering medication(s), if any. After completing the required washout period, subjects will return for Visit 2 (Baseline, Day 1). Subjects who meet all eligibility criteria at baseline will be randomized to receive double-masked treatment for 3 months. Approximately 400 adult subjects and up to 30 pediatric subjects with glaucoma or OHT who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either: - DE-117 Ophthalmic Solution once daily and Vehicle once daily, or - Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution 0.5% twice daily. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of DE-117 Ophthalmic Solution compared with Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution 0.5% in subjects with glaucoma or OHT through Month 3.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of DE-117 Ophthalmic Solution compared with Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution 0.5% in subjects with glaucoma or OHT through Month 3 and will provide additional safety data through Month 12 for subjects receiving DE-117.
Evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine (0.0055%) drops on intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy eyes.
Glaucoma is characterized by irreversible vision loss through the progressive death of optic nerve fibers unless timely diagnosis and adequate treatment are provided. Medical therapy is aimed at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) below a clinically determined target level in order to prevent or slow glaucoma progression. IOP is known to vary with the time of day as well as with daily activities. The current way of assessing nycthemeral IOP fluctuation is to perform repeated discrete tonometry measurements, allowing only snapshot and non-continuous measurements once per hour in the best cases. The procedure is cumbersome, expensive, inconvenient (disturbed sleep cycle as patient is awoken for nocturnal/sleep period measurements) and may not detect crucial IOP values in time. Sensimed AG has developed a new contact lens (CL)-based device intended to continuously measure IOP over 24 hours. The objective of this study is to investigate the use of device for 24-hour IOP monitoring in healthy subjects and glaucoma patients.
