Filter by:The aim is to perform a randomised feasibility trial preceding a large prospective randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing three surgical methods - trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C (MMC), primary Baerveldt tube with MMC and Baerveldt tube without MMC - in black African/African Caribbean patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) living in London. The UK Office of National Statistics estimated that among the population of England in 2007, approximately 4.3% were of African/African-Caribbean background, while in large cities such as London and Birmingham about 20% of the population is of African/African-Caribbean origin. For eye units in these cities, managing glaucoma in this population is challenging and we need to identify a better alternative to our current standard surgical treatment. There is now evidence from one RCT which shows better overall outcomes from tube surgery in comparison to trabeculectomy for glaucoma. However, this study did not address black populations specifically and did not address the potential role of MMC in tube surgery. This feasibility study will enable us to design a fully powered RCT with the aim of determining how best to optimise the surgical treatment of POAG in black populations, by comparing outcomes in three types of glaucoma surgery.
This study was a non-inferiority trial with masked data analysis. Individuals ranging from 18 to 60 years from both genders that met the pre-defined criteria were included. This study was carried out in Recife at Clinica Oftalmologica Zona Sul and at Centro de Informatica-UFPE. Using both equipment, 5 vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) evaluations were performed for each eye of the individuals, under midriatic conditions. Evaluations were done by examiners who did not know previously results obtained from other equipment. Data was collected by the main researcher of this research. This study was approved by the ethics committee before it started and all research members signed the TCLE agreement. The statistical test employed in this study was Pearson Correlation test.
This study is a multi-armed protocol designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different combinations of nutritional supplements (study drug) (Glauco-Health and Glauco-Select) chosen for their potential to protect retinal ganglion cells against oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with open-angle glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Oxidative stress and retinal cellular dysfunction will be measured using a Retinal Metabolic Analyzer (RMA) in this randomized, single center, double masked study. Patients with glaucoma will be divided into three treatment arms randomized to receive either Glauco-Health, Glauco-Select, or placebo.
1. To design and develop a prospective, randomized pilot study utilizing information from electronic medical records to address follow-up adherence and reduce the gap between recommended and actual follow-up adherence in patients with glaucoma. 2. To evaluate the impact of a telephone-based intervention on follow-up adherence in patients with glaucoma using a randomly assigned comparison with usual care.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the intraocular pressure-lowering effect and the safety of DE-117 ophthalmic solution compared with Latanoprost ophthalmic solution in subjects with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
There is growing awareness that environmental factors, behaviors and diet are intimately related to patient health and may play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of glaucoma. Evidence from recent years has shown that some behaviors and environmental factors can affect the intraocular pressure, the primary risk factor for glaucoma. This study aims to investigate whether simple and common lifestyle inteventions such as sleeping with a head elevation, a high fiber diet, moderate aerobic exercise and moderation in caffeine intake could affect intraocular pressure and other outcomes.
To assess the pharmacokinetic Interaction between Dorzolamide and Brimonidine in healthy male subjects.
Incidence of dyschromatopsia
To evaluate the clinical efficacy (intraocular pressure reduction , success rate, the number of antiglaucoma medication) and safety of ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) with Trabectome in Chinese PACG .
To determine the relationship between the affects of viewing commercially available content through the VISIOR video goggles and ocular blood flow in glaucoma patients and healthy subjects.
