Filter by:Eligible patients underwent evaluation of ocular surface parameters by Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and Glaucoma Symptom Scale (GSS) questionnaires, Break Up Time test (BUT), Schirmer I test, corneal and conjunctival staining (Oxford scale) and conjunctival in vivo confocal microscopy (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3, Heidelberg Engineering Gmbh, Heidelberg, Germany). After the baseline visit, patients were randomized to use a PF ophthalmic solution containing HA 0.4% and TAU 0.5%, QID, in both eyes (Group 1) or to use a PF ophthalmic solution containing HA 0.2%, QID, (Group 2) in addition to the ongoing preserved hypotensive treatment. Follow-up visits were scheduled at 30 and 90 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of iStent inject in eyes of subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma previously on two anti-glaucoma medications.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm early feasibility study to assess the safety and feasibility of lowering intraocular pressure with the Brown Glaucoma Implant. A total of up to 10 subjects will be enrolled at three centers. Subjects will be followed for 24 months, with the primary assessments completed 6 months after implant.
Because of a shared ontogenic origin, the retina displays similarities to the brain and spinal cord in terms of anatomy, functionality, response to insult, and immunology. Hence, the retina can be approached as an integral part of the central nervous system. The occurence of ocular manifestations in several neurodegenerative pathologies, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, accentuates the strong relationship between eye and brain. Particularly retinal changes can present a substrate for cerebral changes in these disorders. Offering a 'window to the brain', the transparent eye enables non-invasive imaging of these changes in retinal structure and vasculature. In this project, the potential of retinal biomarkers for e.g. Alzheimer's will be explored with the aim to overcome some of the hurdles in the current management of these pathologies, mainly the lack of techniques for patient screening and early diagnosis. The aim of this clinical trial is to correlate the retinal biomarkers for Alzheimer's with neuro-imaging, and cognitive function. Integrating the results will yield non-invasive retinal biomarkers for clinical research, screening, and follow-up of disease progression in various neurodegenerative disorders.
The development of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its application for in vivo imaging has opened entirely new opportunities in ophthalmology. The technology allows for both noninvasive visualization of the morphology and measurement of functional parameters within ocular tissues to a depth of a few millimetres even in nontransparent media. Until now the resolution of commercially available OCT systems is, however, much lower than that provided by light microscopy. Recently, an ultrahigh-resolution OCT system was developed by our group providing resolutions of 1.7 and 17 µm in axial and lateral direction, respectively. This axial resolution is about four times better than that provided by standard OCT systems. It allows to perform in vivo imaging with a resolution close to biopsy of tissue and to visualize structures of the anterior eye segment with a remarkable richness of detail. The prototype was applied for in vivo imaging of the cornea including the precorneal tear film. The goal of the planned pilot study is to apply this innovative imaging modality for visualization of the ultrastructure of the different parts of the anterior eye segment structures in diseased subjects, as well as in patients who underwent minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). The obtained in vivo cross sectional images and three-dimensional data sets are hoped for contributing to the knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the corresponding tissues. This could allow for a better interpretation of clinical features and findings obtained in slit lamp examination.
The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of three concentrations of H-1337 and vehicle administered twice daily in a parallel group, double-masked design for 28 days of dosing in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).
The study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical administration of PDP-716 compared with brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution.
There is increasing evidence that there are genetic risk factors for several forms of glaucoma, such as glaucoma caused by pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) ,primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The aim of the present prospective, multi-center, case-control study is to identify susceptibility genes/loci for PXF, PACG and POAG using a whole genome association (WGA) approach.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the EYEMATE system in patients undergoing concomitant implantation of a BKPro type 1 and an EYEMATE sensor over the 24 months period beginning at implantation.
TJO-002 or Acitve Control was administered on primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension patients for 12 weeks. This clinical trial study has hypothesize TJO-002 administration groups are not inferior to Active control administration groups.
